Jake Karls, Co-founder & "Rainmaker" of Mid-Day Squares joins Chris Meade in this episode to explain what a Rainmaker title is all about - in other words, he builds relationships and makes noise. Jake wanted to be able to have the freedom of exploring different passions. To be unapologetically himself. Growing up surrounded by other ambitious and hardworking entrepreneurs in his family, going through challenging times, uncertainty and resilience is what inspired Jake to build something of his own.
Mid-Day Squares manufactures functional chocolate bars: Everything a chocolate bar isn't, everything a protein bar wishes it was.
In this episode Jake talks about:
Why having a business therapist helps strengthen relationships with his family
Planting seeds for the future
Viewing competition, including a lawsuit with Hershey’s
Building a community of moms
Understanding how your customers actually use your products
Hiring challenges and obstacles, including letting the wrong employees go
