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.
