In this heartfelt episode, Emma Smith, founder of Zimt Chocolates, shares the story of building a plant-based, ethical chocolate brand from scratch. Motivated by a deep sense of purpose, Emma set out to create a company rooted in compassion for people, animals, and the planet. What started as a bootstrapped solo venture in her early twenties has grown into a thriving small business with a loyal following across Western Canada.
Emma opens up about the emotional and physical toll of entrepreneurship, the realities of running a values-driven company, and the importance of fostering a strong team culture. From dealing with health challenges to navigating hiring missteps, she reflects candidly on the weight founders carry and why leadership with heart is both the hardest and most rewarding path.
