Eight Tons And Counting – Why Send A Friend Lasagna is Booming

On today’s show I brought my appetite and sat down with Stephanie Eppich Daily, founder of Send A Friend Lasagna, an Indianapolis-based lasagna delivery service.

We dive into Stephanie’s transition from a career in insurance and digital media marketing to becoming a culinary entrepreneur following a personal loss.

She now runs a successful lasagna delivery business rooted in the concept of healing and celebration through food.

We also cover her initial challenges, the impact of COVID-19 on business growth, and future plans, including expansion via Market Wagon and offering new products.

You are going to learn about:

• Stephanie’s Career Change to Culinary Entrepreneur

• Turning Passion Into Business

• The Impact of Homemade Lasagna on People’s Lives

Thank you to our partners:
