The Kara Goldin Show

13-11-2024 • 27分

On this episode of The Kara Goldin Show, Kara is joined by Katie Lefkowitz, Founder and CEO of Harken Sweets. Katie’s entrepreneurial journey is one of resilience, passion, and a drive to create something delicious and healthy. After a health scare related to colon cancer, Katie, a lifelong candy bar lover, realized she needed to find a better way to enjoy her favorite indulgence without sacrificing her health. Determined to recreate the candy bar experience using superfoods, she launched Harken Sweets, a line of 100% plant-based, sugar-free candy bars that are not only delicious but also gut-friendly.
Katie’s story takes us from her kitchen experiments to getting Harken Sweets into 3,500 Walmarts. We dive into how she overcame challenges, the science behind her superfood ingredients like date caramel, and how she’s bringing nostalgia back to candy bars with a healthier twist. Tune in to hear how Katie built Harken Sweets from the ground up, her inspiring personal journey, and what’s next for this exciting brand. Now on The Kara Goldin Show!
