S2 Ep18: Built In Her Restaurant : The Scrappy Rise of Date Better with Michelle Valdez-Wilton

Michelle Wilton, founder of Date Better Snacks, is the definition of a scrappy, resourceful entrepreneur.

We dive into how she’s leveraged her husband’s engineering skills to build custom packaging equipment, why she’s just now considering fundraising, and what it took to land a recent Whole Foods rollout. And toward the end? Michelle gets candid about her experience as a woman navigating the CPG space — a conversation that will hit home for so many of us.  Trust me, this one’s packed with real talk, smart strategies, and serious founder grit.
