Quitting Your Miserable Job & Stepping Into Purpose with Gail Becker, Founder of CAULIPOWER

Gail Becker is the founder and CEO of CAULIPOWER, a company
revolutionizing our favorite comfort foods by making them better
and better for you. 


As a mother of two sons with Celiac disease, Gail was always
desperate for nutritious gluten free options. She found hundreds
of thousands of recipes for cauliflower pizza to make for her
kids - and they loved it. However, it took forever to make and as
a working single mom, she wanted an easier and faster option
which was nowhere to be found. 


Although Gail had a lucrative career as a media executive, it
wasn’t until her father passed away that she realized she wanted
to follow in his footsteps as an entrepreneur. This pushed Gail
to leave her corporate job and bring her calling to life. In
January 2017, Gail launched CAULIPOWER and was determined to
create a product that everyone can enjoy, that is nutritious,
convenient, and tastes good.


Since launching, Gail scaled the company to over $100million in
less than three years and completely disrupted the food industry
to become the #1 better-for-you pizza and #8 frozen pizza brand
in the U.S.


We’ll chat with Gail on her money lessons, why she decided to
leave her well-paying job to start a business with zero food
experience, the importance of having the courage to ask for help
& say “no”, and advice for balancing work & family
life.
