    108: Andrew Glantz | GiftAMeal
    2026/05/13
    On this episode presented by Busey Bank, I sit down with a founder whose story is a great reminder that some of the most impactful businesses don’t start with a grand plan—they start with a simple observation and the willingness to take a risk. Andrew Glantz is the founder of GiftAMeal, a business he started while he was still a student, after noticing how often people take photos of their food—and asking a powerful question: What if something good could happen every time that phone came out? What began as a college idea grew into a national platform working with more than a thousand restaurants, helping provide millions of meals to families in need—while also driving real, measurable results for the restaurants themselves. Earlier this year, GiftAMeal entered a new chapter with its acquisition by Swipe Savvy, and in this conversation, we go deep into the founder journey: how Andrew monetized a mission, built a team, navigated scale, made the decision to sell, and what it means when purpose and performance truly align.

  • Episode 107: Heather Hill | The Sports Bra

    Episode 107: Heather Hill | The Sports Bra
    2026/03/03
    On this week's episode presented by Busey Bank, we’re again tapping into one of the most explosive cultural and business stories of the last five years: the rise of women’s sports. Media coverage of women’s sports is up 275%, fan engagement is soaring, and the demand for women‑centered sports experiences is reshaping the landscape of entertainment and hospitality. And at the center of that movement is The Sports Bra — the world’s first sports bar dedicated exclusively to women’s sports, a concept born in Portland in 2022 that quickly became a national symbol of representation, fandom, and cultural momentum. Today’s guest, Heather Hill, isn’t the founder of The Sports Bra — but she is one of the hand‑selected leaders bringing this mission to new markets. Heather, along with her co-owner and childhood softball teammate Sara Pilsner, is launching the first St. Louis franchise as part of the brand’s extremely selective initial expansion into just four U.S. cities. For our audience of founders and builders, Heather’s story offers something powerful: what it looks like to take a movement‑driven brand, translate it into a new market, and build community, culture, and operational excellence from day one. This is category creation in real time, and Heather is operating at the front edge of it. If you enjoy conversations like this, make sure to find our full episodes on YouTube — Now, let’s roll...

  • Episode 106: Dan Warner & Jim Clark | Switzer's Licorice

    Episode 106: Dan Warner & Jim Clark | Switzer's Licorice
    2026/02/10
    This week, we’re telling an unusually honest manufacturing story: how a legacy candy got shelved by a giant—and then came back without sanding off the edges that made it special. The brand is Switzer’s Licorice, born in St. Louis in 1888 when Frederick M. Switzer turned street‑cart candy into a company that would become a national licorice leader built on real licorice extract and a denser, chewier bite. Through the 20th century, Switzer grew big, then disappeared into corporate portfolios—ultimately landing at Hershey in the 1990s, where it conflicted with Twizzlers and St. Louis production was shut down, effectively discontinuing the brand. Fast‑forward to 2005: the founder’s grandsons, Michael and Joe Switzer, reintroduce the brand at the All Candy Expo in Chicago, aiming for authenticity over scale—Cherry Red and Old‑Fashioned Black back on shelves, distributed through nostalgia‑friendly channels. Today, we’ve got Dan Warner, Switzer’s managing CEO, on the revival playbook, and Jim Clark, a factory veteran, on the craft: the texture windows, the batch judgment, and the choices you make when you refuse to modernize away the soul of a candy. I'm also excited to welcome a new partner for the show - The Normal Brand - clothing rooted in Midwestern values. Co-founder Jimmy Sansone joined me awhile back (episode #67) and I'm a big supporter. They’re giving listeners 15% off one purchase of regularly priced clothing. Just use the code BAKEDIN at checkout. Head to thenormalbrand.com and find your new favorite fit. Let’s roll…
