Mac & Cheese, Mental Anguish, & Retail Entrepreneurship with Myles Powell, the Founder & CEO of 8 Myles

In this episode features Myles Powell, the Founder and CEO of 8 Myles, a popular and fast-growing line of gourmet mac and cheese. Myles tells us about his pivot from selling barbecue sauces at farmer's markets to selling the mac and cheese he was making to showcase his sauces. He talks about the struggle he had with deciding when to quit his job and the mental anguish it took to make that decision, only to then be forced to make it again a couple of years later. He also shared with us how he took advantage of the open shelf space made possible through the effects of the COVID pandemic on the supply chain, and how he used that to get his product into popular retailers like Target and Whole Foods.
