À propos de ce contenu audio

Kristina didn’t plan on becoming a cottage food operator.

After being laid off from her role in analytical chemistry, she made a decision most people only talk about—she chose to build something of her own.

In this episode, Kristina shares how she went from a PhD and R&D career to launching a baking business in just a few months, using family recipes passed down from her grandmother and a community-first approach to grow.

We get into:

  • Turning a layoff into a business opportunity
  • How fundraisers became her fastest path to growth
  • The reality of navigating cottage food laws (and doing it the right way)
  • Building a business around family, flexibility, and real life
  • And how she’s now expanding into a full backyard food ecosystem

Plus—how a background in science led to one of the most unexpected baking advantages: 3D printing custom cookie cutters on demand.

If you’ve ever thought about starting something of your own, this is a story worth hearing.
