Episode 27: Mariam Ekram

In this week’s episode, we have Mariam Ekram in to talk about her hustle, KOA Natural Foods.  Koa Natural Foods is a Canadian manufacturer that is committed to the quality of their food products. They offer a variety of healthy and organic foods that are delicious and nutritious. KOA strives to encourage a lively lifestyle through a variety of their food brands. The inception of KOA all started for Mariam as an idea on one of her morning jogs. She wanted to create a healthy snack with simple ingredients she could understand. And from that, Kewaza and Koa Natural Foods were born. Mariam had a vision of creating a snack product that solved her own problem. She didn’t like they way she felt after consuming snacks. She loves sweet snacks but she saw there was an opportunity in the market to maintain the element of a great taste, but also make them healthy. The idea grabbed her and she went on to creating the snacks that met her needs. Mariam is the definition of a hustler. She started KOA Natural Foods 6 years ago and she has managed to get her snack brands into major retail stores such as Wholefoods, Sobeys, Loblaws and Rexall to name a few. She has built her company from her own home to owning her own manufacturing facility. Throughout this episode, you will hear how Mariam has done it. She provides great insight on what it’s like to build a company that makes snacks, how to make a great product, they key to building a standout brand, how to get your product on retail shelves, the foods industry and all the unconventional tactics she has used to get doors opened.  This was a great episode that leaves you inspired and motivated to go after what you believe in.
