A decade ago, Mada Seghete and her MBA classmates came up with an idea for an MBA project. Fast forward to today, and this idea morphed into a business that is valued by investors at $4B. As one of the cofounders of Branch, the wildly successful mobile marketing and measurement platforms, Mada had a front row seat to the rapid rise of mobile marketing and with it the need to define and shape her company's culture, operating principles and pitch to the market. In this episode, Mada shares Branch's story and how it traced the ascent of mobile and shares with us her thoughts on what it takes to manage a high growth business.

They are as real as any other disease we may have. From being rushed to the hospital at the tender age of 3 and having his throat swell shut, to being called "EpiPen guy" by his football teammates at the University of Wisconsin, Blake Sorensen's entire life was affected by his deathly nut allergy. While studying for his MBA at Indiana University’s Kelley School of Business, Sorensen put on his superhero cape when he was challenged to come up with a business that met a social need. His frustration in not being able to find allergy free snack food at gas stations on long drives to school gave him the idea to create a snacks for people with allergies like him and that is when Blake's Seed-Based was born. In today’s episode of the Plant-based profit show, Blake shares his beautiful turn in life where he was no longer scared to join his teammates fueling up on bars, trail mix and cookies. He describes that day in his social entrepreneurship course where he was challenged to identify and solve a social need. He excitingly talks about how he was left to face his weakness and turn it into a helping hand for people with allergies. In today’s show Blake shares with us how he benefitted from the knowledge he gained from his mother, who worked as a dietician, and made his first bars using a food processor in his own kitchen in Indiana and how his Brand, Blake's Seed-Based became the voice he needed. Let’s dig further into the show as we talk about a former Mr. Football who loves innovation and brought a line of snack bars back home for all of us.
