Today we’d like to introduce you to Michelle Mazzara
Hi Michelle, please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
Luvafoodie was started by in 2014. The original idea for the brand was to be a online dating website for single foodies. The ideas was great but after about a year the company changed into a clean eating brand. The brand consists mostly of gourmet spice blends, salt free spice blends. In addition, there are clean drinking all-natural instant cold brew iced teas, spices for dogs and cats and salad dressing dip mixes. The Making of Luvafoodie Brand is a book that I launched in November 2024. The book is available on Amazon and Luvafoodie website. The book is the journey of the past ten years building the brand.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
The journey has been challenging professionally and personally. In 2016, I was diagnosed with heart disease. I had a stent put in my LAD and had a heart attack. I developed a line of salt free spices due to my illness. The heart disease diagnosis was a defining moment in my life. It has also been a challenge being a solo entrepreneur for the past ten years. I would like to find investors so I can hire some people to help me build the brand and take it nationally. It is my ultimate goal to have Luvafoodie be a national brand available in every state.
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?
I spent 30 years prior to starting Luvafoodie working for Corporate America in sales. My background and sales skills helped me create my company and brand. Luvafoodie is a unique brand because it focuses on clean eating and drinking gourmet products. The products are healthy and not filled with fillers, sugars or salts. The majority of spice blends in the marketplace are mostly filled salt, sugar and fillers. Also, many of the flavored teas use artificial colors or flavors. Luvafoodie cold brew instant iced teas are naturally flavored with no sugar.
Can you talk to us a bit about happiness and what makes you happy?
There are several things that make me happy not just one thing. I am happy when I am with the people I love and my dog. I am happy that I built a brand that customers love and that I am adding value in helping people live a healthier lifestyle.
