There was chaos. There were tears. There were late nights and early mornings. Most importantly, there was teamwork, dedication, and growth. This is how we Sow Good's team spent Easter/Passover weekend, preparing our largest order yet.
Returning to the mic is Sow Good's Co-Founder and CEO, Claudia Goldfarb, diving into the last few weeks of highs and lows, mistakes made, and how proud she is of the team (from accounting to graphics and beyond!) coming together. Claudia discusses how she is learning to be a better manager to her employees and the growing pains of scaling a start-up.
