Sweetpotato Awesome Interview Part 2 - Updates from One-Year Ago
I interviewed Josh Kingdon who is the owner of Sweetpotato Awesome almost a year ago and wanted to hear how his freeze-drying business has been going over the past year. The company is based in Las Vegas, Nevada, and he's developed a unique approach to freeze-drying sweet potatoes from slicing them to getting them all cooked and freeze-dried. He also added on new products and new freeze dryer equipment. I think you'll find this interview very interesting and gives you aspirations for maybe what you can create with your freeze-drying business.
The Frozen Assets Podcast series is all about exploring the world of the freeze-drying industry and hopefully inspiring you to achieve more in your business by looking at current entrepreneurs and companies in this growing industry.

    I just bought a freeze dryer, but for personal use. I may end up FDing some stuff for friends for a small fee to cover power and wear and tear, but the market for FD businesses is super saturated, so I didnt even contemplate using it "as a business" to justify buying it. Just got tired of paying a 400%+ markup to other people to buy FD food for long term storage. 🤣
