The Journey of Growing a Community-First Food Business in Calgary

Dr. Lindsay sits down with returning guest Amy Kadziolka, founder of Better Day Food Co., a thoughtful meal delivery company based in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Amy shares how the business first sprouted as an idea during her and her husband’s around-the-world honeymoon, and then became both of their main work stream thanks to COVID. They discuss shifting from a fully plant-based menu to adding meat to meet their customer’s needs - and the needs of their own growing family, too - while keeping the same values of quality and connection. Amy explains their community-first approach through partnerships, markets, events, and giveaways, and highlights giving-back efforts including with Leftovers Calgary, Love for Lewiston, and I Can for Kids. Amy also reflects on balancing entrepreneurship with raising her two young children - including the crucial advice she’s learned about sharing her dreams, and when & how to ask for support.
