103. Gather Nuts!

"Three things in life – your health, your mission, and the people you love. That's it."   -Naval Ravikant   I am always excited to speak with my health and wellness humans… and this convo is a connect of a connect as well = #TWOFER ! I am pumped to welcome Shanna Koenig Camuso Founder of Gather Nuts, to the T&T mic! Shanna was a long time CO local in addition to a bff of one of my friends (thank you, Kim:) - so naturally, we had to connect on the mic. Shanna shares her life and entrepreneurial journey breaking into the very competitive CPG (consumer packaged goods) space with her varsity, slow roasted nuts. Led by her passion, heart space and some major affirmations very early on in the journey, Shanna is continuing to prove she can positively impact the world one tasty intentional nut at a time. You don't always need a detailed road map to the destination, you just need a solid balance of belief, enthusiasm, passion, and space for the universe to lead the way. Shanna and Gather Nuts are proof that that recipe works:) If you know me, you know I don't endorse anything easily and I can firmly say these are hands down the BEST nuts I have ever tasted and I so appreciated the extra mile Shanna and her team go to preserve the nutrition and integrity of the product! If you are looking for the "how" in how to follow your heart, this is the convo for you. Check out Shanna and Gather Nuts, amazing mission driven food company that are leading with their core values first.   Highlights: Following your heart. Consumer packaged goods. Health is wealth. Nutrition and health. Entrepreneurship. Taking care of our parents. Taking the leap. Breakdown and breakthrough. Turmeric and tequila. Friends, connect, and good vibes. Manifestation. Family.   Shanna Koenig Camuso, is a Certified Nutrition Consultant and longtime plant-based food aficionado. She started making activated nuts and seeds in her kitchen when she was still in nutrition school. Soon her friends and family were encouraging her to sell them because "they are so good!" She loves making and sharing her nuts and seeds because of their nutritional benefits, but it's the taste and crunch that keeps everyone wanting more.   Gather Nuts Process: Our nuts don't just taste amazing – they're better for you! We soak each batch overnight then slow roast them on a low temperature. The process allows for better digestion and nutrient absorption while protecting naturally occurring healthy fats and enhancing flavor. Gather Nuts are the perfect snack to take on your next outing. High in protein, antioxidants and healthy fats, our nuts will fuel your wildest adventures, a late night at the office, or a hungry child. Founded in the Pacific Northwest by a Nutrition Consultant who loves the outdoors and promotes plant-based eating because it's healthier for you, the planet, and animals. People. Planet. Animals.  @gather.nuts www.gathernuts.com    Connect with T&T: IG: @TurmericTequila Facebook: @TurmericAndTequila Website: www.TurmericAndTequila.com   Host: Kristen Olson IG: @Madonnashero Tik Tok: @Madonnashero Email: [email protected] Website: www.KOAlliance.com
