Loren Brill Castle: Kicking Cancer, Honoring Your Sweet Tooth, and the Inspiration Behind Sweet Loren's Cookie DoughLoren (Brill) Castle is the CEO & founder of Sweet Loren's, a better-for-you baked goods company that is redefining what it means to be delicious and convenient. Sweet Loren's is the maker of the #1 cookie dough brand in the United States, as it's made from simple, non-GMO, gluten free, dairy free, plant-based ingredients and nut-free ingredients. Loren's mission to create health conscious sweets intensified after being diagnosed with stage 2 Hodgkin's Lymphoma at 22, on top of watching her mom battle Chronic Leukemia (CLL) throughout her youth. Loren's cancer diagnosis highlighted/illuminated the inseparable relationship between food and physical/mental health, and during her 6 months of chemotherapy, Loren filled up her free time with cooking classes and nutritionist appointments. Despite cleaning up her diet, Loren's sweet tooth wouldn't quit, but she refused to compromise her health by consuming harmful ingredients often found in conventional sweets. Loren quickly learned that her personal need to honor her sweet tooth was also a major public need–because who doesn't want to eat delicious treats and feel good about it after? At the end of the day, for Loren, leading a healthy life means listening to your body and honoring its cravings without deprivation, and Sweet Loren's is an embodiment of this worldview!

The best part about making cookies is eating the raw dough off the mixers. High risk, high reward. This can make you seriously ill. Between the flour and eggs, salmonella is a real threat. Sweet Loren's, the #1 natural cookie dough company in the United States, has created the solution we all needed. They make gluten-free, dairy-free, plant-based, and nut-free cookie dough. It comes in pre-cut portions, bakes in minutes, and can even be eaten raw. Sweet Lorens is transforming what it means to be convenient and delicious. In this episode, we talk with Sweet Loren herself, Loren Brill. Listen in as we cover how a cancer diagnosis shifted her priorities at a time when most of her peers were living a carefree life, how she got into the major grocery retailers, and how staying scrappy in the early days hindered the company's growth. Pull up a chair, and take a seat at our table because everyone's welcome to this cookie party of an episode.

How to create a kick-ass brand AND beat cancer with the founder and CEO of Sweet Loren's After beating cancer in her early twenties, founder/CEO Loren Brill made it her mission to eliminate processed foods from her diet. Unable to find great tasting cookies made from clean ingredients, she developed her own. A note from Loren:  My story begins with a question: How do I live a full life without regrets? A few things I've learned since beating cancer: Try new things. Work out. Experience the world. And treat yourself.  Living a full life also meant taking control over my health, happiness, and wellbeing: beginning with the food I eat every day. I cut out hydrogenated oils, high fructose corn syrup, artificial flavors, most dairy, and anything I couldn't pronounce. And replaced those foods with clean ones. In a very short amount of time, I felt more energetic, more alive, and more me.  But as a person with a serious sweet tooth, I was frustrated with the available clean-food options. So, I made my own. And Sweet Loren's was born.  I measure, mix and knead my heart into each Sweet Loren's recipe. I make sure that every product we make is accessible and made from only clean, Non-GMO, gluten-free, and plant-based ingredients. And, most importantly, every product we make tastes incredibly good.  Because we all deserve to live a full life filled with yum.

Arnie Malham is the founder of a number of different companies and organizations, including BetterBookClub.com. He's also the author of “Worth Doing Wrong,” where he discusses how to build a sustainable business model through company culture. Listen to this week's episode as he shares #hospitality insights with Dan Ryan today! Takeaways:  At work, your team will never treat clients better than how the boss treats the team. That is one of the many forms of hospitality.  If you put people in a position and don't pay them well and they don't believe in the team then there is a discomfort that grows.  Core values start with a team leader. It's easy for a leader to praise certain values but it's important that the leader also is willing to help with even the little things and show they are invested and they care. Embrace growth, always be confident, be optimistic, and prepare. These are 4 core values to have going through life.  It's the little things that can make a difference for a guest. Things like certain types of bedsheets and toilet paper can make them feel important and known.  As a team, don't say no to any idea. It's ok to be wrong, but saying no creates a roadblock and might discourage people from sharing anymore of their ideas. Quote of the Show: 6:26 I'm a believer in that the core values and culture start with the leader. And in fact, they start and end with a leader, that leader. The leader of an organization, a team that is the number one thing that sets the tone for culture and core values. And then what that leader does versus what that leader says. It's easy to go down a list and determine if those two things match up. I'll quote Jack Daly again. I'm pretty sure he said, ‘I can tell you your values based on your calendar. I can look at your calendar and tell you your values, because it doesn't matter what you say, the question is, are you doing the things that match your values, that match your priorities?' It's little things. It's where the leader parks, it's where the leaders are willing to participate in and the cleanliness of the environment. It's what he or she accepts and praises, but almost more importantly, what he or she tolerates. What a leader tolerates in their business, in themselves, in their direct reports and in the entire team, I think has as much to do with setting the tone of a culture than anything else.”   Links:  Arnie's Profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/arniemalham/ Company website:  https://www.worthdoingwrong.com/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/amalham Book: https://www.amazon.com/Worth-Doing-Wrong-Quest-Culture/dp/159932587X Shout Outs:    0:18 MIT Entrepreneurial Masters Program 3:54 Jack Daley 19:13 Andrew Scarlett 22:50 Andrew Benioff 22:52 Independent Lodging Congress 22:57 Nico 22:59 Pan Pacific in Seattle 34:34 Loren Brill  34:35 Sweet Loren's 43:22 John DiJulius 46:05 Verne Harnish 58:28 Hilton Hotels Ways to Tune In:  Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0A2XOJvb6mGqEPYJ5bilPX Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/defining-hospitality-podcast/id1573596386 Google Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZGVmaW5pbmdob3NwaXRhbGl0eS5saXZlL2ZlZWQueG1s YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p1mEu_pueA8

Today I talk to baking businesswoman Loren Brill. While battling Hodgkin's Lymphoma in her early twenties, Loren became interested in health foods. But she couldn't find many store-bought snacks that weren't loaded with artificial flavors and ingredients. So after she recovered from cancer, Loren set out on another life-affirming mission: She founded Sweet Loren's, which specializes in vegan cookie dough made with all-natural ingredients. Because she wanted to prove that one can be good to their body without giving up the sweet things in life. Find out more about Sweet Loren's at https://sweetlorens.com/.

Today on the show we're talking with Loren Brill Castle, the Founder and CEO of Sweet Loren's. Loren's mom was diagnosed with cancer when she was 14 and was sick for 12 years. That killed Loren to see her mom suffering, but it never swayed her positivity, Loren took ownership of her life and stopped being the victim! Loren graduated from the Annenberg School of Communication at the University of Southern California with a BA in Communications, she also became a certified Hatha yoga instructor while in college. Loren completed a Master Class in cooking at The New School in New York City, and she also studied at the Natural Gourmet Institute learning how to eat healthy and how that affects your life in more ways than one. Loren was also diagnosed with cancer when she was only 22 years old, only months after graduating college. She founded Sweet Loren's in 2011 shortly after her battle with cancer, it is now one of the fastest growing startups today, growing 655%! Today Loren and Stephynie talk about how her battle with cancer has shaped her healthy lifestyle today, and if there was ever a point that Loren wanted to give up. They also talk about how Loren and her company did so well in 2020, during a pandemic, and how being a CEO has changed Loren's life.   Social Media:   Reach out to Stephynie directly at: hello@smalikent.com Follow Stephynie on Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephyniemalik/ Follow Stephynie on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/stephyniemalik/ Follow Stephynie on Clubhouse: @stephyniemalik Check out my website to learn more about my work: https://stephyniemalik.com/   Timestamps:   2:51 - Loren's Mom Battling Cancer 11:02 - Staying Positive in the Hard Times 14:07 - The Misinformation About Cancer Online 19:26 - Being Able to Eat What You Want 21:16 - Sweet Loren's 25:32 - What Diet Does Loren Eat? 27:59 - Was There Ever a Point Where Loren Wanted to Give Up? 31:22 - Dealing with Investors in the Business 33:21 - What's Next for Sweet Loren's? 36:14 - How Did Sweet Loren's Scale So Well in the Pandemic? 40:16 - How to Keep Your Team Happy and Company Morale Up 42:00 - Balancing Loren's New Baby and Sweet Loren's 45:32 - How Has Being a CEO Changed Who Loren is? 47:43 - Top Tips FOr Young Aspiring Entrepreneurs 50:43 - One Flavor Sweet Loren's Has Not Been Able to Perfect Yet 51:30 - Where Can You Find Loren Online?   Mentioned in the Episode:   Loren's Linkedin - https://www.linkedin.com/in/loren-brill-castle-56887121 Loren's Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/lorenbrill Loren's Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/lorenbrill Loren's Sweet Loren's Website - https://www.instagram.com/sweetloren

Is anything as universal as a cookie?   Loren Brill, founder and CEO of Sweet Loren's, stops by to talk about continuing her company's meteoric growth during a pandemic, building an inclusive culture, and setting an example for the next generation of female entrepreneurs. Check out some takeaways from this episode below: Food is more than just nourishment, it's a way for us to connect with each other. Sharing food, especially healthy food, is a great way to build communities & make our bodies feel better in the process Loren's advice for getting people to feel comfortable and open up: no judgement. Trust your team & celebrate their diversity by creating an open & welcoming environment. Loren grew her company on both coasts during the pandemic by non-work team building opportunities and being flexible with things like scheduling or remote working. And going up against established giants in the packaged food industry, their success comes from thinking about how they can outsmart their competition, rather than try to spend millions on marketing. One of the best ways to promote gender diversity in entrepreneurship is to give more visibility to female entrepreneurs. It helps normalize the idea for young girls that they can achieve their dreams and be part of the next generation of business leaders.  The key to a good hospitality experience: make everyone feel important. Going the extra mile for your customer, whether it's a hotel guest or purchaser for a supermarket chain, is something that can be set up as a system and built into your culture.  Innovation and growth can come from anywhere, even customer suggestions. Good customer relationships can allow you to test new ideas in a way that creates honest and constructive feedback, while still relying on traditional industry research to identify open space in the market for innovation.  Loren's advice to her younger self: Take advantage of every day. Make sure you're enjoying as much of life as possible, and don't be so hard on yourself. Because you're capable of conquering your wildest dreams.   Quote of the Show: 20:46 - “We have amazing fans and we get emails and messages all the time from parents that say that their daughter loves our cookie dough and loves seeing the back of our package. I have the story of how I created Sweet Loren's in a picture of me. And I think them just seeing that and being like, oh my God, that's it, that's a pretty young female, like, I could do that. I can do whatever I want, and I think just having more, seeing more role models out there of women just normalizes it so that, whoever you are, whatever age you are, you don't think it's weird or super hard. You're not at a disadvantage. If you're female it's totally been done, it's totally doable. And women should dream as big as they want.” - Loren Brill  Links:  Website: www.SweetLorens.com Twitter: @SweetLorens, @LorenBrill   Email: hello@sweetlorens.com LinkedIn:

A battle with cancer taught Loren Brill four important concepts to live a full life without regret? Try new things. Work out. Experience the world. And: treat yourself. Loren founded Sweet Loren's, offering pre-made cookie dough and edible cookie dough crafted with clean, plant-based, gluten-free, dairy free, and non GMO ingredients. Her altered diet while facing cancer turned  into a driver for her own business, which went from creating prototypes in her kitchen to becoming a nationwide smash success. And less than eight years later, Sweet Loren's is in more than 10,000 supermarkets and is the top selling clean cookie dough. Loren shares the one thing she wishes she could've had early on in her business that would have been  crucial to successfully building a company, how surviving a pandemic may rest on listening to yourself and what brings joy,  and how Loren is navigating her own big "then what" moment (next level partnerships, new products, and finding causes and charities to support ) thanks to what she's been able to achieve.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I run down some general sports news talking about the XFL folding then get into my top 5 favorite vintage uniforms of all time. The show wraps up with a big interview with Old Dominion men's basketball player Loren Brill as we discuss what his journey has been like in basketball and what his new found role has been at ODU.

Loren Brill knew she had to change the way she ate. She was 22, she had just graduated college, and she was diagnosed with cancer. Eating healthy helped Loren to beat the cancer, but she found that giving up cookies and other baked goods was one of the hardest parts. Loren took matters literally into her own hands, and created her own gluten free cookie dough recipe. Her cookies were a huge hit with her family and her own marketing department -- her sister. Loren was inspired to set out on a sweet mission: make delicious gluten-free, organic cookies that are a healthy alternative to the preservative filled cookie dough we all grew up with. Her company Sweet Loren’s was way ahead of the clean eating trend. She caught the attention of Whole Foods, who went from "hello' to "yes" in their very first meeting, when her company was still only half-baked. Less than eight years later, Sweet Loren’s is in more than 10,000 supermarkets and is the top selling clean cookie dough. Loren shares her journey with Julia Pimsleur, including how she went from feeling overwhelmed to actually enjoying problem solving; how she learned to see that she and her company are not one and the same; why suffering a personal loss pushed Loren to the next important step in her business; how Loren makes sure she is building a sustainable business; and, the mindset practices Loren has adopted that keep her centered and moving forward.

Loren Brill is founder and CEO of Sweet Loren’s, known for its delicious clean-label cookie dough. On this eposode of ITS, Ali and Loren talk about the slow and steady ramp to Sweet Loren’s best year yet, as the company just ranked #114 in Inc. 500 and Loren was chosen as one of Inc.’s 2019 Female Founders.

Loren Brill is the CEO and founder of Sweet Loren’s, a first of its kind company that offers sweets and snacks with clean, whole-food ingredients. After growing up with entrepreneurial parents, Loren decided to become an entrepreneur herself.

This episode of the Peppered Podcast is with Loren Brill, founder of Sweet Loren’s. Sweet Loren’s is a fast-emerging brand of refrigerated cookie dough—self-described as a clean food company transforming what it means to be convenient and delicious. I love the fact that Sweet Loren’s is extremely indulgent, deliciously sweet —and made with clean, simple ingredients. But more importantly, I love the story behind the brand. When founder, Loren Brill, was diagnosed with Stage 2 Hodgkin’s lymphoma, along with her treatments, she also knew that she needed to change her eating habits. But the one thing she just couldn’t give up were SWEETS. This began her journey on how to satisfy that sweet tooth—with quality, better-for-you ingredients—but without comprising on taste; which ultimately resulted in Sweet Loren’s cookie dough. On this episode of the Peppered Podcast, we’re going to dig deep into food trends, discussing: - The story behind the brand - The challenges of starting a new brand - Scaling-up—quickly! - Why core principles and values matter - The importance of clean, simple ingredients - Why consumers rally behind this brand - And more

Loren Brill is the CEO of Sweet Loren’s award-winning cookie dough company.  She talked with us about her journey into entrepreneurship and her reasons for creating a health-conscious cookie dough brand.  You can find her on Instagram as @sweetlorens.    

Loren Brill was a young college graduate working as a yoga instructor when her world was turned upside down: she had cancer, Hodgkin's Lymphoma to be exact. After the shock wore off, she sprung to action, determined to take better care of her body through food. She began to cut processed sugars, hydrogenated oils and common allergens from her diet -- but found she was unable to satisfy her sweet tooth with commercially available cookies and cookie dough. So why not make her own? After long hours testing batches and batches of cookies, Loren perfected her own recipe of vegan, gluten / nut / dairy free, whole grain cookies and presented it to Whole Foods. Now, Sweet Loren's ready to bake cookies and edible cookie dough is carried by most grocery retailers across the country. Join us as we hear Loren's inspiring story taking charge of her life, navigating the complicated world of grocery and how she keeps balanced in the hectic world of today.

When life gives you chocolate chips, why not make cookies? That is exactly what CEO and cancer survivor Loren Brill did. At the age of just 22, Loren was diagnosed with cancer, which turned her world upside down.   Loren shares that there are somethings you just can't control, but there are things you can. Getting diagnosed with cancer was something no one could see coming, but her health and nutrition was an escape. She wanted life and empowerment out of what she put into her body.   With Loren’s sweet tooth leading the way, she created a ‘healthy’ cookie made with all natural ingredients. Sweet Loren’s Cookies was created as a healthy option for people when they need something sweet. (2:10) “I had a lot of time with myself and a lot of time to figure out what i was passionate about and what i really enjoy doing. If life is so precious, what do i really want to spend time doing and what do i really care about….” --Loren Brill   (9:40) “We are dealt a certain deck of cards. There are certain things that happen in life that are something unexplainable. It’s all of our responsibility, no matter how we were raised, what has happened in our life. What do we want to turn our own life into? What would make us happy?”-- Loren Brill   (18:30) “I think you have to find something that really lights you up, that you are passionate about and to me if you combine that with a really clear vision, and fill a hole in the market with a smart business plan behind it, How can you not win?”--Loren Brill The secret to life is finding that passion that gets you out of bed in the morning. Turn that hobby into something that will change not only your life, but the lives of everyone around you.

Loren is the Founder & CEO of Sweet Loren’s. Sweet Loren’s is an award-winning all natural cookie and cookie dough company. She overcame cancer at a young age, which was the ultimate impetus for creating recipes that were based on wholesome, real, healthier ingredients with the goal of changing the treat industry into one with better-taste and better-for-you ingredients.

Loren Brill is the Founder and CEO of Sweet Loren's, an all-natural, award winning cookie dough that's serving up much-needed competition in the refrigerated aisle. Loren developed her recipes after devoting herself to food and nutrition during a battle with cancer at the age of 22. She's now busy growing one of the most exciting food companies in the country.

Loren is the Founder & CEO of Sweet Loren's. Sweet Loren's is an award-winning all natural cookie and cookie dough company. She overcame cancer at a young age, which was the ultimate impetus for creating recipes that were based on wholesome, real, healthier ingredients with the goal of changing the treat industry into one with better-taste and better-for-you ingredients.

Loren Brill started Sweet Loren’s after overcoming Hodgkin’s lyphoma at the age of 22. She started studying nutrition and took cooking classes, and soon cut out all highly refined ingredients. Without delicious cookies and brownies in the marketplace that were made of ingredients that she wanted in her body, she realized that she would have to make her own, and soon, Sweet Loren’s was born. Loren is a graduate of Columbia University’s Columbia Community Business Program (’12), University of Southern California’s Annenberg School of Communication (’06), she completed the Master Class in Cooking at the New School, and is a certified Hatha Yoga instructor. She loves yoga, running, cycling, painting, traveling, the beach, dinners with friends, and has an insatiable sweet tooth.     On Today's show Loren will share: -What’s Your Personal Mission Statement My personal mission is to improve the baking industry by creating enlightened alternatives to conventional baked goods. I believe that your body is your temple—but, that doesn’t mean you can’t have fun and indulge, just choose smartly. Personally, I know I am happier and have more energy when I eat food that enhances my wellbeing—and to me, that means eating as whole and natural ingredients as possible. As a foodie, I always want delicious taste, and that the food I choose to eat takes me on an emotional adventure. I try to lead an active, healthy lifestyle that includes balance and conscious choices—even amidst a busy schedule. We live once—and I want to live life to the fullest. I know that good food helps us be our best self, and that it’s important to celebrate often--with yourself and those you love. Cancer has affected my family so much—my mother passed a way from a chronic leukemia in 2010, and I overcame Hodgkin’s Lymphoma at the age of 22. Cancer is an epidemic that we’ve almost all been affected by. My goal is to not only inspire a healthier lifestyle in those around me, but also to be able to give back to cancer research in a big way as we grow. My goal is to change the world—through cookies—one day. -Biggest Business Mistake Ugh. Where to begin! Looking back, it is hard to have regrets, because I had to do what I did in that moment. If I could do it again, I would wish to start my business with a partner with complimentary strengths. If it’s the right partnership, you can go twice as fast. Also, I wished that I researched the industry more and wrote a more in depth business plan at the beginning. My business started the complete opposite way—it started with only me, creating recipes in my mom’s kitchen with my younger sister as my official taste tester—and Whole Foods Market being our first customer. I went from 0 to 60, really fast. -How Do You Handle Business Stress and Uncertainty I deal with uncertainty and stress with daily workouts, healthy food choices, meditation, and talking to everyone I respect in business…a lot. I have days of total clarity, and then days of total distraction. It is hard to stay stress-free when juggling so much, and having so much at risk in something you so believe in. I share what I am going through a lot with other entrepreneurs, and listen to what others in business and the food industry can share. Between all of the people that I talk to, I get an instinct of what feels right to do next. And, that gives me some sort of certainty so that I can lead my company the best and most direct way that I can. Doing yoga, going for a run outside, eating fresh food—all make me realize that I am just happy to be alive, right here, right now. -Greatest Business Decision That Changed Everything Talk to anyone and everyone. I went straight up to Hoda Kotb from NBC’s The Today Show at a Fashion Night Out Event in NYC back in 2010, when I had just launched SL. Even though she was out with her girlfriends, I just walked up to her and told her all about Sweet Loren’s. Her best friend loved the concept, and invited me to drinks with them the next night. I just kept in touch with them --for over a year. When I emailed Hoda that I thought her viewers would love to hear about Sweet Loren’s, she told me she wanted me on and was going to interview me live the next week on the Today Show. That changed everything. -Best Book For The Entrepreneurial Mindset I wish I had more time to read. Great books stay with you forever. I was very motivated by Steve Jobs’ biography. It feels good to see that nothing amazing is done over night, or easily. It simply takes time, care, attention, and an undying passion to make the best possible product you can. It also shows me that you don’t have to be the best at everything. Find your strengths and own them—hire people around you to round out an all-star team. - Plus much more...

Loren started experimenting in her mother's kitchen in 2007 with truly wholesome cookie recipes after overcoming cancer. She was determined to maintain her lifelong passion for delicious, first-rate sweets while eating as natural, unprocessed ingredients as possible. In 2009, completely healthy, Loren wanted others to have the chance to sample them, entered a baking contest --and won. It was then she realized she might have the makings of a business. In December 2010 Loren launched Sweet Loren's, her line of all natural ready-to-bake desserts. She sells her products frozen so they stay fresh without preservatives. Conveniently packaged, Sweet Loren's makes it easy for anyone to bake delicious fuss-free desserts that also fit into a healthy lifestyle. In 2011, Loren entered the Next Big Small Brand competition, a contest that seeks to identify promising artisan food businesses, and won that too (including the People's Choice Award). During this past year Loren was recognized by New York Cares as a 2012 Honoree, and appeared on the NBC Today Show. Most recently, Marie Claire magazine named her Top Entrepreneur in their Women on Top Awards where 16 women nationwide were selected. A native New Yorker, Loren is a graduate of the University of Southern California's Annenberg School of Communication; Columbia University's Columbia Business Program, 2010-12; and is a certified Hatha Yoga instructor. She has also completed the Master Class in Cooking at The New School in New York and studied with The Natural Gourmet Institute.
