Amy Lacey is the Owner and Founder of Cali’flour Foods. She's a resilient leader in her many roles as entrepreneur, best selling author and autoimmune advocate. Like many food and HVC entrepreneurs, Amy's venture into creating a product was actually an answer to solving a personal challenge. In 2010, Amy was diagnosed with Lupus, becoming one of 50 million-plus people suffering from an autoimmune disease in the United States. No longer able to enjoy pizza night with her family, Amy set out to re-imagine her favorite foods and created a no-mess no-stress, cauliflower pizza crust to satisfy her cravings without sacrificing her health. Since then, Amy has been featured in major publications like Eat This Not That, Delish, Popsugar, and Entrepreneur Magazine. She's kicked off the new year by launching a national best selling cookbook called Cauliflower Kitchen: 125 Cauliflower Based Recipes for Carbs You Crave. Here's a glimpse of what you'll learn: [00:55] Introducing Amy Lacey [03:13] Amy talks about autoimmune disease, being diagnosed with lupus, and the challenges that came with her diagnosis [06:19] Amy shares how her decision to research about food as medicine led to the creation of Cali’flour Foods [09:29] Where Amy first sold her products and her transition to mass production and selling online [11:45] Amy talks about Donald Miller’s Storybrand and about a customer’s feedback that left a positive mark on their brand [14:57] How Amy’s products are shipped out to her customers [16:34] The importance of finding a good shipping partner and valuing customer experience [20:35] Amy talks about her decision to increase the retail footprint of her brand [25:39] Amy discusses the five-piece philosophy that she follows for her business [32:44] Amy talks reinventing the frozen food section of grocery stores and her expansion plans for Cali’flour Foods [35:10] Steve talks about the growing popularity of cauliflower [37:09] Amy talks about the organizations that she supports through Cauli’flour Foods [39:34] Amy discusses their target market and the health benefits of a low carb diet [41:08] Where to find more information about Cauli’flour Foods [45:41] Amy talks about what the next steps startups should make when they get a ‘no’ In this episode… If you’ve just been diagnosed with an autoimmune disease or have been recommended by a healthcare provider to go on a low carb diet, it can be devastating. Just thinking about all the food you’ve grown up eating and suddenly needing to avoid them can be heartbreaking. That’s exactly what happened to Amy Lacey when she was diagnosed with lupus back in 2010 and it inspired her to start researching about using food as medicine. This was the beginning of her company, Cauli’flour Foods. Designed to address the need for great-tasting food options for those looking to eat healthier or address diet restrictions, their products are created and shipped fresh to their customers with the utmost concern for quality retention and customer satisfaction. In this week’s episode, Amy joins G. Steven Cleere as they talk about her lupus diagnosis, her decision to choose food to help her body heal and her eventual business, Cauli’flour Foods. She shares her 5-piece philosophy in doing business, some things that food industry startups need to do when they do decide to expand, and what she has learned through the business that has grown so close to her heart.

Wingnut Social: The Interior Design Business and Marketing Podcast
It’s easy to feel like we live in two different worlds these days, one online and one in real life. And so interior designers often craft two separate marketing and networking strategies, one for each. But that doesn’t have to be the case. Just because you’re working to develop your social media presence doesn’t mean your real-life connections don’t play a role. Today we’re talking about how creating community with real people in real, high-definition life can help you build your online presence as well. That’s because today we’re talking with Amy Flurry, author of Recipe for Press and Recipe for Press: Design Edition, and a leading expert in how interior designers can get more press for their work. Amy Flurry is an editor and contributor to some of the biggest magazines on the newsstand (Lucky, Country Living, Condé Nast Traveler, InStyle, Better Homes & Gardens). Her book, Recipe for Press, has been called “the small business blueprint for DIY publicity,” packed with good, no-nonsense advice on how to get your story or product onto the pages of influential publications. Amy’s lectures and workshops serve to further educate entrepreneurs on how to refine their message, engage media and create relationships with editors and bloggers, including powerful examples from across industries and around the country, plus her own art company. What You’ll Hear On This Episode of Wingnut Social [4:09] How to get started using the power of community [6:38] Where Amy got the idea for this approach [9:10] How to make Amy’s strategy work for you [16:00] Offer value to those who attend your events [19:22] It doesn’t have to be a huge event [28:30] Whut up, Wingnut? [30:58] Natalie and Darla’s takeaways Connect with Amy Flurry Amy Flurry Amy on Twitter Amy on Instagram Amy on Facebook Resources & People Mentioned Laura Thurman in HGTV Magazine Recipe for Press Recipe for Press: Designer Edition Get your Audible Free Trial! Small-batch gatherings, big-picture strategy Amy’s book was initially a total DIY project. She wrote it, produced it and launched it herself. And she booked her own speaking engagements. But instead of trying to land large auditoriums, she started putting together gatherings with other interior designers for the book. The events then become about more than just the book, Amy puts on her editor’s cap and thinks about how the events can produce content that all of the attendees can take and share and use for themselves. When Amy throws an event, she invites other designers, or people who enjoy design, who might be interested in what she has to learn. But she also invites local magazine editors who might be interested in meeting those designers, and she will share photos from the event and encourage others to do so as well. And so the idea is that the event happens in one, real-life place, but has many other “tentacles” as she says, that can help a variety of people and be used online. It’s about creating community, not competition When Amy first started putting together her small events, she realized quickly that she wanted to invite people she didn’t know, instead of default to the people already in her contacts list. And she invited a designer from Nashville who came and was so excited by it, she emailed the group afterward with a recap of all the takeaways, and then invited Amy to Nashville to do a similar event in her town. That designer then used that gathering that she threw to take pictures of her home, which she then used in a myriad of ways, including landing an article in HGTV Magazine. Amy says that while designers may have concerns about their competition, the truth is there’s enough work for everyone, and creating community can help foster learning and networking that lead to amazing opportunities. You want to make sure if you’re throwing events for other designers, you’re offering something of value for them. Otherwise, as Amy says, “it’d be really weird.” Connect With Darla & Wingnut Social www.WingnutSocial.com On Facebook On Twitter: @WingnutSocial On Instagram: @WingnutSocial Darla’s Interior Design Website Subscribe to The Wingnut Social Podcast on iTunes, Google Podcasts, or TuneIn
