*TW: Discussion Around Eating Disorders* Ali is the Co-Founder and CEO of Oat Haus, the first-ever spreadable granola. Think the texture of nut butter, but the warm, familiar taste of granola.She founded Oat Haus back in 2018 as it was part of her recovery journey from disordered eating.  She searched high and low for a nut-free spread that resonated with her, but couldn't find one. She came up with the idea to create one out of oats, and Granola Butter was born! Now, Oat Haus is sold at over 5000 retailers across the country, including Whole Foods Market, Publix, Amazon, and Target.  All of this earned her a much deserved 2024 EY Entrepreneur of the Year Award. Prior to Oat Haus, she thought she would be a doctor. She studied pre-med at the University of California Berkeley, earning a bachelors degree in nutritional sciences. While she ultimately decided not to become a doctor, she did continue in digital health for a few years, working in marketing at Doximity - the largest medical network. -----Past guests include Margaret Wishingrad, Kara Goldin, Brandi Chastain, Julie Foudy, Ann Miura Ko, Linda Avey, Sarah Leary, Becky Sauerbrunn and many more.Follow us on Instagram | LinkedIn | YoutubeCheck out the She Leads website-----In Today's Episode with Ali Bonar We Discuss:1.

The life of a CEO can be beyond crazy, hectic, stressful, rewarding, empowering, creative, fulfilling, chaotic.... let's just call it an emotional roller coaster! As we learned from Don Bailey (CEO of BlockBusters Tech) a couple of weeks ago, adding some mitochondrial hacks, such as red light therapy and methylene blue, significantly moved the needle in the focus and creativity departments for him. And while today's guest, Ali Bonar, whom is the CEO and co-founder of Oat Haus (yes, that nom nom granola butter that became famous on Shark Tank!), implements both RLT and MB into her wellness regimen, she happily imparts other strategies and insights that help her to stay sane and grounded whilst running a hyper-successful company. It is an amazing story with her beginning a company in her parent's garage and, in due course, winds up with her products in Target!As you may imagine, the origin story of Oat Haus begins well before she started the company in that garage. Many years prior to that, Ali was facing nutritional "information overload" that placed internal pressure on her to eat perfectly all the time, which caused food to become very rigid & stressful. Ultimately, she developed an eating disorder that spanned over 10 years.   Eventually, Ali retrained herself to have fun with food. With the support of her therapist and those who shared their own journeys with her along the way, Ali dedicated herself to helping others feel less alone. In recovery, she re-introduced nuts into her diet (something she had previously restricted for years), but her stomach couldn't tolerate them. While repairing her gut, she searched high and low for a healthy and delicious nut-free spread. Nothing resonated with her, so she decided to create her own, and the world's first oat-based spread — Granola Butter® — was born.

Working hard has gotten a bad rep lately. When you're creating something you're passionate about, it's unrealistic to think that it won't be hard work. But there's a difference between running yourself ragged because you're trying to live up to someone else's expectations or you think that's the only way you'll be successful, and working really hard on something you're trying to bring into fruition. I'm joined by Oat Haus founder and CEO, Ali Bonar, as we discuss what entrepreneurship really looks like, why the journey and not just the destination has to be worthwhile, why “working too hard” is just another thing for women to police themselves about, and why no matter what your career is it's ok to work hard.   Get full show notes and more information here: https://unfuckyourbrain.com/313

Don't try to sell consumers on what's missing from your products; instead emphasize and celebrate the best attributes of your brand. The hosts discuss this simple yet important distinction in this episode, which highlights several brands exhibited at the 2023 Summer Fancy Food Show, held last month in New York City. This episode also features an interview with Liz Rhoades and Meghan Ireland, the head of whiskey development and chief blender, respectively, for renowned whiskey brand WhistlePig. Rhodes and Ireland spoke about WhistlePig's foray into single malt whiskey and how the company's new generation of whiskey makers is striving to break traditional boundaries through experimentation and novel production methods. Show notes: 0:39: New Digs. Hot Dogs Are/Reduce Life. Cheese Cubes & Wine, But Not Exactly. Ringa Starr. – The Newton-based hosts were blinded by the light (of their new studio) and discussed the relative value of a hot dog before they began a second round of sampling products from the Summer Fancy Food Show, including on whole food salty snacks, honey-based energy gels, cookie-crackers and plant-based cheese cubes. They also munched on “South Asian-American fusion” popcorn and sipped on canned wine analogs and moringa-based beverages during which John noted that college tours now highlight cheese-lovers clubs. 28:29: Interview: Liz Rhoades & Meghan Ireland, Distillers, WhistlePig – Rhoades and Ireland spoke with Taste Radio editor Ray Latif about their respective backgrounds in the spirits industry and WhistlePig's expansion from rye whiskey into North American single malt whiskey category with the launch of an ultra-premium 21-year-old expression named The Beholden They discussed how the whisky fits into the company's “rebel” ethos, the craft of aging and blending and their perspectives on women in the whiskey industry.

Ali Bonar is the founder and CEO of Oat Haus. After struggling with food & body image issues for over a decade, she searched high and low for healthy and delicious nut-free spread's. Not really loving anything currently offered at grocery stores, she took to her kitchen and started making concoctions of her own. After many iterations of her original creation she finally figured it out! And so Oat Haus was truly born out of Ali's frustration with the lack of great taste and FUN in this food group. Oat Haus is the first-ever spreadable granola. With the texture of a nut butter, but the taste of an oatmeal cookie (and a bunch of other delicious flavors) it is an absolute game changer and truly making waves in the food industry as we know it.

In todays episode, Chad and Kelley talk to the founder of Oat Haus, Ali Bonar. Born in Japan and raised in San Diego, Ali has been passionate about food for as long as she can remember. Her deep-rooted passion for nutrition inspired her to study Nutritional Sciences at UC Berkeley and eventually launch @avokween, where she dove crown-first into the Kween lifestyle. Ali wholeheartedly believes that overall wellbeing is often achieved off-the-plate: nutrition is important, but human connection (and pizza with friends at 2am) are essential. Through the community she has built she's started the incredible business Oat Haus- the first ever spreadable granola available in over 1,200 stores. In this episode we talk to Ali all about how to recognize the signs of disordered eating, healing and recovery and a path to freedom with food, starting a self-manufactured food business in the consumer products space, scaling products, selling to Whole Foods, and influencer marketing. We hope you can take so much away from this amazing episode with Ali.To connect with Ali click HERETo connect with Oat Haus click HERETo connect with Kelley click HERE

We've shared our OBSESSION with Oat Haus granola butter before on the show — and today we got to speak with the woman behind the butter, Ali Bonar! Tbh, we felt like we had a full-on therapy session/happy hour with Ali during this episode and it was THE BEST.

Have you ever wondered how new food products actually get into stores when they're not made by a big corporation? Ali Bonar, CEO and co-founder of Oat Haus, talks about the hurdles she's overcome to leave her previous career behind and start a food company. The Oat Haus flagship product, Granola Butter, is the world's first oat-based spread and was born out of Ali's eating disorder recovery. Oat Haus is available at over 1,200 stores, including Whole Foods, Sprouts, Harris Teeter, The Fresh Market & more.

Today's guest you may recognize for a number of reasons but specifically from the cover of the Startup CPG Spotlight magazine! Ali Bonar, Co-Founder, CEO, and Chief Vibes Officer of Oat Haus and other members of the Oat Haus team were featured in last winter's magazine edition, so today we get to hear the latest news podcast style! Oat Haus makes the world's first oat-based spread: Granola Butter. Born out of Ali's eating disorder recovery, the mission behind the brand is to bring fun & play to food! Ali and her two other co-founders were on Shark Tank Season 13 in October of 2021, so make sure to check out that episode of the show (and if you love Shark Tank, make sure to listen to our recent interview with Alexiou Gibson (#57) where we do a deep dive on Shark Tank and that experience). It's going to come through in this conversation how much I love the Oat Haus granola butter products, but since we recorded, I did also get my brownie batter pre-release order and it. is. decadent. Somehow it's like eating brownie batter out of the bowl but without the stomachache or the top allergens. It's not going to last long in our "haus." Listen in to hear from Ali: - More about Oat Haus' founding story - The behind the scenes of their recent flavor hype drop and how they started collaborating with Jameela Jamil - Oat Haus' first marketing and sales hires - How they secured a national Sprouts launch and how they've supported that launch with influencer marketing - The realities of mental health as a founder - Riding the up and downs of publicity like Shark Tank - And more! Plus, I've loaded up the show notes with links! Content warning: episode mentions eating disorders and sexual assault.

Today I am speaking with Ali Bonar. Ali is the founder of @oat.haus and host of Alicast where she shares topics on body image, food, relationships, mindset, and business. I first came across Ali through her granola butter, the world's 1st oat spread, it's organic, nut-free, GF, and has only 4g of sugar. It honestly tastes like liquid teddy Grahams and she has now released a handful of new flavours that are so delicious. In today's episode, we dive into Ali's journey with disordered eating and how she is continuously practising her tools, which tools she loves to use and why, the ins and outs of running her own business, and some practical takeaways if you are a female founder. 

***Trigger Warning: Eating Disorders*** Ali Bonar is CEO and founder of Oat Haus, a CPG company on a mission to make food fun. Their flagship product, Granola Butter, is the world's first oat-based spread. Ali created Oat Haus after a decade-long battle with an eating disorder, and is passionate about helping others love themselves inside and out. She currently resides in Philadelphia with her partner Eric and their dog, Squishy. In this episode, we'll chat about how Ali came up with Oat Haus including her eating disorder recovery, how she came to know that entrepreneurship was for her, and the decision to quit her full-time job. Besides this, Ali will tell us about how she came up with the brand of her product, her experience on Shark Tank, and how that brought her and her co-founders closer together. Last but not least, we'll dive into the way in which Ali uses Instagram and her tips for other product brands looking to use social media to connect with people on a personal level.

It's not every day you see a CEO dancing on TikTok. But being vulnerable and transparent is one of the reasons Ali Bonar has seen incredible growth and success with her company, Oat Haus. Consumers are moving more towards sharing real experiences and less about hiding behind the perfect filter. Customers crave connection and want to build relationships with transparent leaders—even if that means showing off their dance moves.  Ali started sharing her journey online long before she ever considered being an entrepreneur. As she recovered from an eating disorder, she shared the ups and downs of her physical and mental health and began to grow a following.  Ali's journey led her to create granola butter, and Oat Haus was born. But in her new role as a founder and CEO, it was only natural for Ali to continue sharing a behind-the-scenes view of the business. As Oat Haus grows, Ali shares authentic updates along the way, including everything from dancing in her living room to an inside look at creating new products.  Ali strongly believes that sharing helps customers feel like part of the journey. It's refreshing to see a business that isn't hiding behind a façade or trying to come across like it has everything together. Ali's goal is to take customers along for the ride and make them feel so involved that no matter when they see her content, they feel like they've been there from day one.  But sharing online doesn't come easily to everyone. Ali recommends starting where you're comfortable, even if that means photos without video to start. A good starting point is simply filming what you do throughout the day. Take people through your life as a business leader and show what life is like behind the curtains. As your comfort level grows, Ali recommends planning content for the entire week to hit different topics, including informational videos about your company, stories about what it's like to be a leader and fun content. A variety of content builds strong connections and resonates with a variety of customers.  Even planning and great content don't lead to overnight social media success. It takes time to grow a following, and a lot of how a post or video performs is based on the Instagram or TikTok algorithms. Even then, it's hard to see the ROI of social and a direct connection between storytelling and sales. But it's all about building the brand, showcasing the human side to the business and establishing your company and yourself as a leader who cares about people and wants to share.  The moments you're the most scared of sharing are often the most worthwhile things to share that resonate with your people. In the end, Ali says not to overthink it. Just be yourself and feel comfortable bringing your whole self to work and your community. You'll naturally develop strong customer relationships as you share your authentic self and brand. ________ Blake Morgan is a customer experience futurist, keynote speaker, and author of the bestselling book The Customer Of The Future. For regular updates on customer experience, sign up for her weekly newsletter here.

On the cusp of our Winter 2021 events, Taste Radio's hosts discussed the speaker agendas for NOSH Live and BevNET Live, which include retail executives from Erewhon, Whole Foods, Foxtrot and Earth Fare, along with founders of several high-profile brands, such as Fly By Jing, Dreampops and Super Coffee. They also highlighted notable new brands and products, including wellness shots, vegan snacks, an innovative “shimmering sparkling water” and the largest peanut butter cup in the world. This episode also features an interview with Dave Carpenter, who is the master blender for Redemption Whiskey. Promoted as “leading the rye revival,” Redemption markets a range of super-premium whiskies that are intended for modern drinkers to rediscover rye and the spirit's storied history in the U.S. by way of complex, yet approachable expressions. As part of our conversation, Carpenter spoke about how Redemption has aligned its marketing and innovation strategies with the palates and lifestyles of modern consumers, why its distillation process isn't included in the brand's story, how its bottle shapes and package design play important roles in how customers perceive the brand and the company's approach to finding the balance between premium and value when it comes to pricing. Show notes: 0:47: Talkin' Turkey, BTS At The WCB, Water, Shots and Nuts -- The hosts discussed their respective Thanksgiving dinner plans and Ray's annoyance with the holiday's traditional centerpiece, what attendees can expect from a packed speaker lineup at NOSH Live and BevNET Live, why they're impressed with Todd Carmichael's foray into the water business and a “wholly” impressive line of plant-based snacks and meal. 22:16: Interview: Dave Carpenter, Master Blender, Redemption Whiskey -- After a brief chat about Carpenter's impressive mustache, he and Taste Radio editor Ray Latif spoke about what differentiates rye from other whiskies and the boom, decline and reemergence of the spirit in the U.S. Carpenter also discussed Redemption's on- and off-premise education strategy, why a growing number of master blenders have degrees in chemical engineering and whether trends fit into the brand's innovation planning. Later, he explained how subtleties in Redemption's bottles are intended to speak volumes and why the brand's flagship product is priced relatively affordably for a premium whiskey.
