Megan Reamer: Co-Founder of Jackson’s Chips

This mission-driven entrepreneur has had quite the journey building her incredible company. When Megan Reamer, Co-Founder of Jackson’s Chips, developed the first recipe for slow-cooked chips made from sweet potatoes with coconut oil, she wasn’t thinking about creating something that would scale to the success that Jackson’s Chips has today. Megan’s mission was to develop a great tasting snack that was nutrient dense and could help their son Jackson while they were managing his rare autoimmune disease. Tragically, he passed away at age 16 from complications of the disease, but his legacy lives on through the creation of Jackson’s Honest using the same all-natural recipe that she made for their son. It’s an incredible story from the heart and you can’t help but admire the journey she takes us through on this episode. You don’t want to miss listening to this incredible episode.
