Soom Foods started 5 years ago, with one of the Zitelman sister’s boyfriend, introducing them to their family’s Tahini in Israel.

I personally got a ton of value from Shelby’s interview because as I started Better Meat Co, we are running into a lot of the same situations Soom Foods

Carrie Arndt is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to seeing the hidden reasons on why you buy things. And not just color, or a name, but it’s so much more than that.
