I'm ready for 2023 to be over. You?

I'm ready for 2023 to be over. You?

It's officially the last month of the year

For me, it went by fast and slow... all at once.

Highs of 2023 for me:

  • Launched the new Bro Dough into retail
  • Tackled my biggest fear head on (public speaking)
  • Fell in love with fitness again
  • Gave up drinking (4+ months now)

Lows of 2023:

  • A messy confusing breakup
  • Not selling product for 6 months
  • Moving out of a 1 bedroom into a house with roommates I found on Facebook marketplace (lol)
  • Learning someone I love is sick (but will be ok).

We're all human and you can't have the good without the bad.

I've learned that there is so much out of our control, and if you constantly try to control everything it'll ruin you.

I'm not one for new years resolutions - I think we should always set goals for ourselves, regardless of the time of year.

But I do love going into a new year... it just feels refreshing.

I am so, stinkin' excited for next year because I NEED TO MOVE OUT AND START PAYING MYSELF, BRO. ??

The food & beverage industry is probably the least profitable, most capital intensive industries to ever exist. I will argue anyone on that.

We're pivoting a little bit with Bro Dough and it's been a long time coming.

Canada is 39 million ish people. The USA is almost 332 million.

My product is refrigerated and I haven't been able to crack the code on selling it in the US without raising a crap ton of money and basically selling my soul.

We are finalizing our new SHELF STABLE (!!!!!!!!!!!) protein cookies!!!!!!! (see them below).



They taste AMAZING and these are going to be launching on Kickstarter in the new year.

Similar ingredients (plant-based, natural, gluten free, added protein).

AND THEY ARE SHIPPING ACROSS NORTH AMERICA!!! ????????


It would mean the world if you signed up to our waitlist:

And if you're in Canada, Bro Dough's refrigerated cookie dough bites are found across the county in these locations.

Thanks for opening my monthly newsletter, it means a lot. ??

Until next time,

-Erica

P.S. for all my fellow founders reading this (and non-founders even), I hope you take some time to really reflect on this year.

The highs, the lows, the in-betweens.

I always like taking time to also tell people how much I love them and how big of an impact they had on me.

A few kind words can go such a long way.
