Stephanie Wiley of Whitefish, MT sells cookie brittle with her business, Fat Kid Cookie Company.

For many years, family and friends raved about Stephanie’s unique cookies and told her, “You should sell these,” but it wasn’t until she tragically lost her 18-year-old son that she decided to completely change careers.

Out of that loss came a very strong mission for her new business, and in less than 2 years, she’s already grown it to 34 wholesale accounts and is expanding rapidly!

In this episode, you’ll hear how Stephanie continues to push herself beyond her comfort zone in order to make an impact and leave a legacy for both her and her son.

  • The challenges and rewards of starting a new career later in life
