In the Sauce

Stories from the Trek Uphill

A podcast about building consumer brands. When Haven's Kitchen launched a product line of fresh sauces, founder Alison Cayne knew they were jumping into something crazy. In her effort to get educated, she started meeting with everyone she knew and respected who could advise her - from production gurus to marketing and social media mavens. Then she started having those conversations as a podcast so that other entrepreneurs can learn from them as well. This is the story of building Haven’s Kitchen Sauces. But it’s also the story of every growing brand. Because we’re all In the Sauce.
