Being a food or beverage founder is HARD. You’re constantly “on,” solving problems in your business, and navigating the ups and downs of our industry. Far too often, founders burn out, lose your passion, and decide that it’s too much. 

In today’s episode, I’m speaking with Leeann Rybakov, the founder of BuckWHAT Foods and a trained Health Coach, about her challenges with balancing her own physical and mental health as she grew her snack food business into Whole Foods and over 100 natural foods markets. 

Join us as we talk about balancing the stress of being a founder with your passion to grow your business, how to prioritize and focus to avoid burnout, learning how to ask for help, and deciding when to walk away. 

To keep in touch with Leeann, find her on her website here, or on Instagram at @Leeannrwellness, and don’t forget to mention that you found her through the Food Biz Wiz podcast in order to take advantage of her complementary health & wellness consultations.
