Today’s callers: Michelle from California assesses the trade offs of accepting outside investment to scale her organic granola brand. Then, Gloria from Connecticut wonders how to overcome stigma and get more people talking about her pelvic floor therapy device. And Eric from Australia evaluates new markets for his maple-based sports nutrition products.  Plus, Dan and Angie’s take on why even the busiest entrepreneur should find time to turn off their phone at the dinner table...  Thank you to the founders of Nana Joes Granola, Elidah, and mapleROO for being a part of our show. If you’d like to be featured on a future Advice Line episode—where Guy and former show guests take questions from early-stage founders—leave us a one-minute message that tells us about your business and a specific question you’d like answered.

And be sure to listen to BOOMCHICKAPOP’S founding story as told by Angie and Dan on the show in 2019.   This episode was produced by Noor Gill with music by Ramtin Arablouei.
