Episode 304: Kari Morris | Co-Founder of Martie
In this episode, I chat with Kari Morris, co-founder of Martie—an online discount grocery store revolutionizing the food industry. We dive into her journey from a background in food and art to launching Martie, driven by the challenge of moving seasonal and near-expired products during the COVID-19 pandemic. Kari shares how Martie is tackling food waste, increasing accessibility, and helping customers save big. We also explore the power of community, the importance of mission-driven business, and how she keeps her creativity alive. Plus, we discuss work-life balance, how motherhood reshaped her perspective on food, and the subtle ways she weaves art into daily life.
“If there’s not a mission behind it that is better for the planet and better for people, then I think you really have to ask yourself why you’re doing it.”
