In this episode, I sit down with Melissa Ben-Ishay, founder of Baked by Melissa, to discuss everything from how the famed cupcake company got its name to how Melissa still finds joy in what she does, over ten years later. Melissa shares how being fired in her early twenties kick started Baked by Melissa, how she developed her business from scratch, and why she believes attitude above all else shapes your trajectory. She also discusses the differences between her first maternity leave as a founder and her second, how she conceptualizes social media for her business, and how she remains authentic to her voice while continuing to build a brand.
