In this episode, we sit down with Taz Machra, founder and director of Swolefoods. Taz opens up about his incredible journey, from growing up in India with no clear direction, to being in a position where he's built a thriving health food brand known for its macro-friendly meals and protein-packed ice creams, now stocked in major supermarkets & service stations. He shares not just the highs of entrepreneurial success, but also the personal challenges and losses that shaped him along the way. It's an honest, inspiring conversation about resilience, purpose, and the mindset needed to turn uncertainty into opportunity.
