In today's episode I had the pleasure of talking with Manny Ferriera, founder/owner of Manny's Ultimate Mixes. Manny's Ultimate Bloody Mary (the original product) has been a passion project for over 20 years, shaped by Manny's pioneering approach to mixology. What started as a quest for the perfect cocktail evolved into a groundbreaking focus on flavor profiles, driven by feedback from his female clientele.
Manny's blend is a harmonious mix of natural ingredients, and he recommends enjoying it "AS IS" – anytime, anywhere. Surveys reveal that 80% of consumers prefer it straight from the jar, with 40% enjoying it as a breakfast drink akin to a V8.
Manny's dedication to quality is unwavering, and he confidently asserts that "Manny's UBM will never disappoint!"

In today's episode I have the privilege of talking with Kerry Brown, one of the founders of EAT G.A.N.G.S.T.E.R. Kerry and Heather (her biz partner) create foods that bring FREEDOM & JOY back to those on restorative diets. This is a true entrepreneurial story of two women's shared struggle turned into success!
The mission comes straight from their struggle. Fifteen years ago they were both diagnosed with life-changing autoimmune disorders. EAT G.A.N.G.S.T.E.R. is an acronym for G.rain Free, A.lmond & Peanut Free, N.ightshade Free, G.luten Free, S.oy & Seed Free, T.asteful, E.gg & Dairy Free, R.eal Food!!
Their bodies were out of balance. Sometimes when this happens, the food we consume amplifies that imbalance.
But the body is smart – it’s simply telling us something – and when we learn to listen, we can begin to restore ourselves.
We all know it is difficult and isolating to remove certain foods from your diet. With their baking mixes, you can feel the freedom and taste the joy as you boldly stand for a happier, healthier, more whole you.
Enjoy the episode and thank you for listening!
