Episode 10 A chocoholic businesswoman starts a chocolate company with the intention of changing the industry for the better but finds the realities of parenthood make it difficult to maintain her standards. 

In this episode, you will learn: 

1. How Laughing Gull Chocolates CEO Lindsay Tarnoff created a unique business model that intentionally incorporates child-rearing into the business.  2. The ethical and sustainability concerns around the chocolate industry and how better made chocolate is better for the environment. 
3. How online learning became an unexpected win during the Covid shutdown that continues to bring in revenue today. 

 

This is Lindsay Tarnoff's story...

Lindsay Tarnoff is the owner of Laughing Gull Chocolate, a company that specializes in ethically sourced and locally sourced chocolate products. She started the company in 2014 after learning about the slave labor and child labor involved in the chocolate industry. She and her business partners opened a brick-and-mortar store in 2018, and they have since expanded their product line to include a variety of chocolate-based items and learning opportunities.
