It is important for women of all ages to see themselves represented in leadership of every industry, and Daily Crunch gives me that opportunity.” Working at a woman-owned company means I have bosses that I relate to and role models I look up to. Daily Crunch has given me the opportunity not only to continue pursuing my passion but also to learn so much from its two incredible leaders, Laurel and Diane. After a 10-year career in politics, focused on electing women to public office, I am beyond thrilled to work for a certified woman-owned start-up. “Supporting women in leadership has always been my passion. I am so proud to work for a women-owned company that I look up to!” Sometimes (most times!) the start-up world is full of unknowns and struggles, but both of these women have handled the ambiguity with grace. They have shown me that striving for success and pushing the boundaries creates an opportunity for growth. Laurel and Diane have been incredible leaders that encourage me everyday to work hard and be kind. Laurel and Diane have created an atmosphere that promotes creativity as well as intellectual challenge. “In order for a start-up to grow and flourish, it starts with the people. Kenzie Steel (Omnichannel Marketing Director) Ultimately, I’m really grateful to grow alongside such kind + visionary women.” The way they care about each of us, outside of our roles at Daily Crunch, has made our dynamic more family-like than anything else. They’re as willing to challenge me as they are to support me. Laurel and Diane are driven and confident while also empathetic in their leadership, fostering a truly unique environment - one that is collaborative, inspiring, and exciting. “I have loved working for and with women to grow something we all believe in. Grace Runnels (Brand and Content Marketing Lead) Getting to learn from two amazing female co-founders has made not only our brand incredibly dynamic but significantly improved my business IQ and EQ. A strong team has people with differing backgrounds, opinions and beliefs as well as skill sets that compliment each other. "At Daily Crunch, every day I get to be inspired and challenged by the women around me who are helping bring our young brand to life. And to donate proceeds to a subject so close to my heart…mental health." Dan Stephenson (COO/Co-Founder) I’m beyond proud to have co founded this company with Laurel. It makes me feel so good to wake up everyday and have a purpose and to provide healthy snacks to our customers. We are role models for our daughters (mine is a pediatric resident!) and change the landscape of what working in and out of the home looks like. Two of my three sisters were doctors. Woman have come such a long way since then. "When I grew up in the 80’s and graduated college, I felt societal pressure to get married and raise a family. A career was secondary and not expected. I'm so proud to be a female founder and tell our story through our journey.“ My daughter is able to see me everyday trying to grow this business and can see first hand how to be a leader in her future. Being a female founder also allows me to set an amazing and powerful example for my young daughter. It's about telling our consumers that we are building a women-owned company and connecting with them on a level beyond just the product. It's about nurturing our female interns so they can go out into the world and know that they can do anything and become strong women leading industries across multiple sectors. It's about meeting other female CPG founders and growing and learning together. It’s about elevating women leaders in all industries. ![]() “Being a Women Owned Certified founder isn’t about getting a certification to slap on packaging. As we celebrate National Women's Small Business Month here at Daily Crunch, we interviewed our team to understand what they have valued in their time working for a Women Owned Certified company through WBENC. Their hard work and creativity has attracted an amazing team since their launch in March 2020. Diane and Laurel got to work to build Daily Crunch from the ground up. Laurel immediately called Diane and pitched the idea of making this into a full fledged brand. During the holiday season one year, Laurel took the nuts back home with her on the plane and couldn’t get enough of the flavor and unique crunch. She took the process a step further by dehydrating the nuts at low temperatures to create the ultimate crunch. After Diane learned of the soaking process from India through her sister, she loved making sprouted nuts and dried fruit for her friends and family. The idea and innovation of Daily Crunch originated in Diane Orley’s kitchen. ![]()
