Our New Vanilla Protein has only been out just over a week and we've already had a handful of people write in saying things like:

It takes a village to succeed
It takes a village doesn't it? When we first started out in the Health Food industry about 10 years ago, we didn't have much network, we didn't have much of a community.I had only been in business for a couple years, in which I had NO idea what I was doing. However we managed to grow our distributor base across Canada in the retail industry.
No easy task, I woke up day after day, cold calling, following up with calls, sending samples, being hung up on and rude store managers that would say,...
