Hey friends, have you heard of Raddish? It’s a super cool monthly cooking club that empowers kids to build confidence in the kitchen and beyond. Today’s guest, Samantha Barnes the CEO and founder of Raddish, founded the company after working as a middle school teacher. A mom of two, Samantha realized the kitchen was the best place to connect with her kids in a meaningful way, and in true entrepreneurship fashion, she was inspired to start her own company. Samantha’s passion for family is visible in every aspect of her company. As a female founder, she is committed to running results-oriented and flexible company built on autonomy, working smart, and a positive work/life balance.  On today’s episode, Samantha and I dive into her subscription based business model and how it has evolved over time. The two of us talk about her business journey, how the company started out of her garage, how her team has evolved, the logistics of getting her product to market. We also talk about the pros and cons of running a subscription based business, how she learned how to delegate, what she does when she’s feeling burnt out.    ON TODAY’S EPISODE:  How Samantha got the idea for Raddish Why she decided to go with a subscription model  The benefits of growing slow and working by trial and error  Creating continuous content and dealing with unexpected hurdles The steps Samantha took to scale up   Her decision to keep her team lean and mean  How Raddish cultivates the customer experience Learning to delegate when it’s not your strength Avoiding shiny distractions for the long term goal Lessons Samantha learned in her business journey Two things she does to stay grounded in the chaos  KEY TAKE-AWAYS:   “We did not go into it having some large strategy. We learned by doing. We launched on Kickstarter in October and we shipped our first kit in January.” - Samantha Barnes "In the beginning, we were simply finding the right tool and trying to get the right quantity and have it delivered at the right time. And now we're able to go out and we custom-create our tools.” - Samantha Barnes “I live in a small house in Los Angeles. So it had its own challenges. We would have easy ups all throughout the backyard and our production line had to go out into the backyard because we couldn't fit in the garage anymore.” - Samantha Barnes “Because we are self-funded we are really careful about how we grow. Making sure we have the great product, making sure that we're minimizing our churn and really keeping members for longer is important.” - Samantha Barnes “It’s a critical growth step as an entrepreneur. It's like, okay, I need to start delegating more and releasing control so that we can grow and so that we can get more done in a day.” - Katie Hunt “We call our Facebook group users the Raddish army because they come to bat for us, you know, they really want to help families understand exactly how great the product is.” - Samantha Barnes “We're definitely a word of mouth product and started that way, and that is definitely how we got off the ground.” - Samantha Barnes “Delegating is not my strength, it's something I have had to learn and I continue to learn.” - Samantha Barnes “I have the right people in the right seats and I just have the expectation that somebody is going to get that done and I don't micromanage or oversee the process.” - Samantha Barnes “My whole motivation was hiring people that were smarter than me that could teach me things. Take the tasks, run with them, and I trust them to do it well and do what we need to head towards the goal.” - Katie Hunt  “Learning from others and being open to learning and talking to as many people as you can and experiencing as many opportunities is really important. That’s the big picture idea.”  - Samantha Barnes “I mean, I love baths and manicures and pedicures, but if I have free time, I’m thinking what can I do that's really going to inspire me and make me feel better and make me kind of reset. Reading has been a big one for me over the last couple of years because it does feel indulgent too.” - Katie Hunt  LINKS Website: http://Raddishkids.com Facebook: http://facebook.com/raddishkids Facebook group: http://facebook.com/groups/raddishfoodandfamily/ Instagram: http://instagram.com/raddishkids    SUBSCRIBE To subscribe on iOS, go to the iTunes page and subscribe to Proof to Product.

Samantha Barnes is a mom to an 8 & 6 year old. She's a female founder who is committed to running a results-oriented and flexible company built on autonomy, working smart, and work/life balance. She has a passion for food + family, and believes that the kitchen is the best place to connect with her kids in a meaningful way. She's a former middle school teacher, and her commitment to empowering kids' confidence in the kitchen inspired her to launch her company: Raddish, a cooking club + curriculum for kids.   Samantha has always been passionate about education and began her career as a teacher. She noticed that her students were eating unhealthy lunches. She also noticed that they all seemed to love watching shows on the Food network. Samantha had an "ah-ha" moment where she realized that she could combine their interest in cooking with making healthier choices. She launched a side hustle teaching cooking classes and birthday parties for about a year before venturing out completely on her own.   She was not yet a mom when she was working as a teacher, and she had her 2 children during the early years of entrepreneurship - while she launched her first business KitchenKid, then rebranded and transitioned to Raddish. Balance to her is a pretty constant struggle.   About 2 years ago, Samantha's husband, Seth, who has a background in digital marketing, joined the business. They have a really good routine down and are able to act strictly as colleagues at work and not spouses. When it comes to keeping those roles separate they struggle most with not bringing work home... when they are at work they are really good about leaving family stuff out of their interactions.   Het kids have always been involved in the business. As infants they were in a sling while mom and dad worked, growing up they have helped test recipes and helped with packaging, labeling, loading boxes on to the trucks. The kids have watched the business grow from their backyard to a warehouse. They are living through the process of growth and her daughter is really drawn into the whole process and loves learning about the inner-workings of business.   A couple years ago, Samantha's daughter created a comic book series as a non-profit to benefit a variety of organizations. she has a big heart for social justice and often her leadership is rooted in a bigger philanthropic mission. This is not a project she is still tackling, but I love the discussion about the importance of allowing kids to explore their passions and pivot frequently.   Samantha shares a breakdown of how cooking with our kids can translate into a variety of lessons. The time cooking and waiting, math/measurements/ratios of cooking, and the details of where each ingredient comes from - it really helps kids understand the complexity of where food comes from. Then, you can talk about business concepts like yields and profits when you consider the costs associated with ingredients AND valuing time. Each recipe has "fun bites" with information that is related to the recipes but brings in a variety of related topics in history, science, social studies, math, and more!   Kids as young as 3 can benefit from Raddish alongside their parents because the recipes are all illustrated, and older kids and tweens can still benefit from it as well because everyone likes the easy to follow step-by-step pictures. They alternate themes and offer a variety of package options and some memberships include an apron for the child, then every month the kids get a patch to sew on their apron.
