Summary: New Name, Same Game - Nut Butter Deliciousness. Keeley & Erika were essentially a BRAND NEW business when their shark tank adventure started. They were buying ingredients themselves and making their epic nut butters in their college dorm room. After the euphoria of being on the show started to wear off, they were delivered some devastating news that Barbara was not going to "make them rich" as she had stated. The deal was off.It really is fascinating to see what difference a year can make when coupled with a little trip into the Shark Tank. Fast forward to their exciting update segment...They are now selling their product in over 1200 stores nationwide including Costco. They aren't millionaires and they don't make any pretense about "The Hustle" but after speaking with them it's no secret why they have been and IMO will continue to be successful. Persistence, positive attitude, and a lot of hard work.
