The BibRave Podcast Ep. 92: Lauren Fleshman and Jesse Thomas on the business of running and running a business!

Listen to this Episode!

We’re excited to bring you Episode 92 – our first-ever… dual… husband-and-wife chat with the founders of Picky Bars, Jesse Thomas and Lauren Fleshman. This is the 3rd installment of your series of interviews from The BibRave Bonus Mile: Bend Road Trip. Be sure to subscribe so that when the Bonus Mile comes out May 16th you get it wherever you listen to your favorite podcasts! It’ll feature some behind-the-scenes clips, including a look at Lauren and Jesse’s house in Bend.

In this week’s episode we chat with Lauren and Jesse about a variety of topics starting with how Picky Bars began (also featured in our convo with Stephanie Bruce in episode 45). We then move into the highs and lows of working with your spouse and running a business, and we also revisit one of our favorite subjects – how to grow our sport as an industry. Extra mom points to Lauren during the interview, who had to deal with nursing baby Zadie, along with a diaper blowout and multiple outfit changes all while recording the podcast!

These are two people that demonstrate #relationshipgoals, so be sure to give this episode a listen. And, as always, you can find us on social – Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram!
