Quotes
- "I've been making people rich my entire life, so in a way, building this company and being an entrepreneur was assisted by the training I received in helping other brands grow their businesses." -Chris Nisi
- “In our sourdough, we use only a natural starter. Ricardo got a super old starter that's over 100 years old. So he's been keeping it alive for 30 years. He's got it growing in six different places so that nothing ever happens to it." -Chris Nisi
