About Lauren Chew:
Lauren Chew dubs herself an 'accidental entrepreneur'. In 2018, she went completely vegan and had to rethink her whole diet - including her beloved sweet treats. In 2019, Lauren turned her side hustle into a full-fledged business when she crafted the first iteration of Love+Chew cookies in her tiny San Francisco apartment. The result: a delicious plant-based treat using minimal, wholesome ingredients. Today, Love+Chew cookies are on the shelves of over 2,000 stores, including Whole Foods Market, Sprouts, select Costco locations, and Amazon.

What's most remarkable about Love+Chew is that since day one, Lauren has bootstrapped her business with zero outside funding or VC help. Coming from a business development and tech background working at companies like Tesla and Stem, Lauren manages all aspects of the Love+Chew business — from product development and marketing to sales and operations. In 2023, she managed to scale her business from 1M to 3M and is on track to bring in 5-6M this year.

The Male Room with Dr. Jesse Mills

The Male Room with Dr. Jesse Mills

As Director of The Men’s Clinic at UCLA, Dr. Jesse Mills has spent his career helping men understand their bodies, their hormones, and their health. Now he’s bringing that expertise to The Male Room — a podcast where data-driven medicine meets common sense. Each episode separates fact from hype, science from snake oil, and gives men the tools to live longer, stronger, and happier lives. With candor, humor, and real-world experience from the exam room and the operating room, Dr. Mills breaks down the latest health headlines, dissects trends, and explains what actually works — and what doesn’t. Smart, straightforward, and entertaining, The Male Room is the show that helps men take charge of their health without the jargon.
