Ep. 008 - Tracy Lawrence, CEO and Co-Founder of Chewse

Our inaugural podcast guest is Tracy Lawrence, CEO and Co-Founder
of Chewse. Chewse is an office meal program with a heart: Tracy
calls it a "love company"—a company where emotional intelligence
is a core tenet. To date, Chewse has handled nearly 2 million
meal deliveries and has brought in more than $14 million in
revenue, feeding thousands of employees delicious meals every day
from local San Francisco and Los Angeles restaurants.


As for Tracy, she was recently named Forbes 30 Under 30 Class of
2018. She earned a BS in Business Administration from the
University of Southern California, where she was awarded 2011
Student Entrepreneur of the Year. Tracy began Chewse from her
college dorm room and has since raised $15M in financing for the
company. Aside from being CEO, Tracy indulges in an unhealthy
love of farmers markets, pita + hummus, and surfing. She also
loves helping and mentoring entrepreneurs.


We first met Tracy at a "Women in Power" panel on leading through
workplace patriarchy. We were immediately struck by her passion
for advancing gender equity in tech. In this interview, Tracy
talks to us about building a love company, the importance of
leading with vulnerability, and what it means to live the
questions.
