In this episode of Recipes for Success, we’re joined by Emily Nichols, a manufacturing engineer and founder of Connect Better Inc. Growing up on a farm, Emily developed a deep appreciation for the food industry and hands-on problem solving. She later honed her skills working at Quaker, gaining valuable experience in food manufacturing and operations.
Drawing from her engineering background and experience as a keynote speaker and emcee, Emily specializes in helping organizations strengthen the human skills—connection, communication, and creativity—that are essential for success in today’s technical workplaces. She shares insights on how food businesses can foster better collaboration, enhance team dynamics, and build inclusive environments that drive sustainable growth and innovation.

Whether you're leading a food startup or managing a growing team, this conversation offers practical strategies to bridge the gap between technical expertise and human connection, empowering your business to thrive in a competitive industry.
