In episode six, Accountfully's Managing Partner, Brad Ebenhoeh sits down with Wild Friends co-founder, Keely Tillotson. Wild Friends was started by college roommates Keeley Tillotson and Erika Welsh; two hungry athletes wondering if they could make their own nut butters that could live up to the nutritional and taste standards they desired. Through some hands on product sales (biking orders around the University of Oregon campus) and helpful feedback from friends, a company was born. The goal of Wild Friends is to make food friendly, which means creating fun and delicious products made with simple, nourishing ingredients. Keeley goes into detail about their very dynamic ten years in business, with advice and stories creating the Wild Friends empire, from college student, to food biz mogul.The Wild Friends Website: https://wildfriendsfoods.com/DISCOUNT OPTIONSGet 10% off your first order when you subscribe to the Wild Friends email list.

Wild Friends is a passionative, youthful and DELICIOUS nut & seed butter company, started in 2011 and still going strong today. Erika and her co-founder Keely started Wild Friends at 18 & 19 years old, while they were in COLLEGE. They ended up dropping out their Sophomore year to pursue their venture full time, which I think is just the coolest. Erika said she has zero regrets, and despite the emotional rollercoaster over the last 8 years, the two founders have been (and still are) completely devoted to Wild Friends. I loved how much Erika honored her co-founder, and she spoke a lot about how this friendship & partnership has held her through all the tough times. Erika also speaks of the challenges within the industry, and how they maintain their core values behind closed doors.

My deep love for all things nut butter is not a secret around here. The passion runs deep and anyone who has the courage to jump head first into this world (as a college student no less!) deserves serious respect in my book. Yes, I am taking about one half of the Wild Friends Foods duo, Erika Welsh. Erika and her business partner (then college roommate) stumbled into a business as college freshman. Never in their wildest dreams did they think they'd end up taking the peanut butter they ground up in their college dorm room and selling it for profit. Let alone having mass distribution across the country and a whole lineup of nut butters and overnight oats! Today on the show we're going back to the early days of Wild Friends and chatting about how Erika and Keely got started, when they knew they wanted to take the leap and what it's been like growing a business in such a competitive industry. Here are a few things we cover in today's episode: How Erika and Keeley met and started Wild Friends Why nut butter and how the obsession started Their "ah ha" moment when they realized Wild Friends was more than just a fun side project How they came to the decision to drop out of college and how that decision feels now How people reacted to them dropping out of college Their experience on SharkTank and how that changed the course of their business What's it like running your business with your best friend Asking for help with your business and finding trusted advisors How to handle competition in the business space and shift your perspective on it What advice she would give to her 20 year old self.

In today's episode I interview Wild Friends cofounders Keeley Tollitson and Erika Welsh. Keeley and Erika's nut butter company was born one afternoon, in their University of Oregon dorm room. As life-long athletes, Keeley and Erika shared an affinity for peanut butter's convenient, healthy, and delicious profile. One day, they decided to concoct their own peanut butter. Their creation received hype from friends, the farmers, the Eugene farmers market, and local stores. After an appearance on the television show Shark Tank, they decided to drop out of college and focus all their efforts on their business. Six years later, Wild Friends is now one of the fastest growing nut butters in the nation, raking in 7 million dollars in sales. In 2017, they were featured on Forbes 30 under 30 for food and drink. In our conversation we talk about -how being athletes has greatly influenced their business decisions -why they chose to drop-out of college -the advantage of having absolutely no idea what you are doing -what it's really like to be on Shark Tank -their vow to fulfill my dream of swimming in a pool of nut butter (yup, I'm weird) -Portland's November Project, a free fitness movement led by Keeley (if you're in the Portland I highly recommend checking And more.

Erika Welsh is the co-founder of Wild Friends Foods, an all-natural foods company that makes both flavored and plain nut & seed butters. She started this company serendipitously back in 2011 when she and her college roommate were munching on peanut butter and celery and ran out of peanut butter! Instead of going to the store to buy more, they pulled out their food processor and a bag of peanuts they just so happened to have in their pantry. Once the food processor was running, they started combining all sorts of ingredients into the peanut butter and came up with many flavors that they immediately put in jars with a label and gave away to all of their friends! What was intended to be an afternoon project quickly snowballed into a business and the girls never looked back! They left school to pursue their dreams of everyone having the opportunity to try Wild Friends! In 2012, Erika and Keeley appeared on Shark Tank which helped them gain tons of national exposure and has helped them go from farmer's markets to 9,000 stores in just about 5 years!
