Have you ever doubted that you were making the right decision for you and your business? How do you build your faith so that it becomes more powerful and action-inspiring than fear?

On this episode we chat with Ashley Rouse of Trade St. Jam Co. , a woman- and minority-owned business that she started in order to help expand culinary awareness through jams & preserves to restaurateurs and home cooks alike. After years of working in the culinary industry, Ashley discusses why she decided to take the full-time leap into entrepreneurship in 2017. Though she didn’t have a perfect “plan”, she knew she had a purpose and calling that she needed to trust in. Ashley shares what she’s doing now to put her faith into practice and building her company legacy.

Ashley also opens up about her culinary journey and how her passion for food inspired her to push culinary limits and dedicate her company to pursuing unconventional flavors and uses. Trade St. Jam Co. uses locally sourced produce for their vegan, low-sugar jams and can be used to make craft cocktails, glazes, salad dressings, baked goods, roasted meats and veggies and more.
