b'Sometimes podcasts hosts all get together for a show, and that\\u2019s the case for today\\u2019s episode. Sarah Delevan, founder and owner of The Good Food CFO, also hosts her own Podcast show \\u201cThe Good CFO\\u201d. For six wonderful years, Sarah was a buyer, responsible for sourcing the BEST ingredients from California farmers, ranchers, and fisherman. She spent her time in markets and in the fields, sampling the best food and tastes in the world, and loved it. But she had an even bigger love: Building spreadsheets and as she says in her website, \\u201csitting at my desk - deep in spreadsheets + tools\\u2026identifying ways to improve the financial sustainability and profitability of the business that I was working for.\\u201d. Geeky? No, just passionate about NOT letting great food products fail simply because most food entrepreneurs close their doors because they hadn\\u2019t learned the financial aspects of their business yet. Sarah saw owner after owner fail because they were overspending on ingredients, undercharging for their products or allocating resources to all the wrong places. So in 2017, her mission to offer that critical piece of the puzzle became real and The Good Food CFO consulting business launched. As her website says, she has 50 clients and counting, and the reviews are beyond positive. She has literally been the life preserver for chefs, food cart owners, caterers and more. She has believed in Instagram for her business and her clients, so you might check that out for in-depth information on her career.\\n\\n"Masoni and Marshall the meaningful Marketplace" with your hosts Sarah Masoni and Sarah Marshall\\n\\nWe record the "the Meaningful Marketplace" inside NedSpace in the Bigfoot Podcast Studio in beautiful downtown Portland.\\n\\nAudio engineer, mixer and podcast editor is Allon Beausoleil\\n\\nShow logo was designed by Anton Kimball of Kimball Design\\n\\nWebsite was designed by Cameron Grimes\\n\\nProduction assistant is Chelsea Lancaster\\n\\n10% of gross revenue at Startup Radio Network goes to support women entrepreneurs in developing countries thru kiva.org/lender/markgrimes'
