Megan Silk: Go With Your Gut

In this episode of Maverick Makers, host Michelle Daides sits down with Megan Silk, co-founder of Gingerbug, a brand revolutionizing soda with gut-healthy, certified organic ingredients. Alongside her husband, Bren Silk, Megan turned a passion for fermentation on their off-grid farm into a thriving consumer brand, now available coast to coast in Canada.

Megan shares her unexpected journey into the world of consumer packaged goods, her experience pitching on CBC’s Dragon’s Den, and the challenges and triumphs of scaling a business while raising five children. She also gives us a sneak peek into Gingerbug’s plans for U.S. expansion and offers insights for aspiring entrepreneurs.
