She Saw a Gap in the Frozen Foods Aisle, So She Filled it With Cauliflower Pizza, with Entrepreneur and Caulipower Founder Gail Becker

On this episode of SUPERWOMEN, I’m joined by Gail Becker, founder of Caulipower, the better-for-you brand that redefined the frozen pizza aisle and became one of the fastest-growing food startups in the U.S After years climbing the corporate ladder, Gail realized the view at the top wasn’t what she thought it’d be. With no background in the food industry, she poured herself into solving a personal problem: finding nutritious, gluten-free food her sons with celiac disease would actually enjoy. What started with a 90-minute homemade cauliflower crust pizza recipe turned into a national sensation, earning Caulipower over $100 million in revenue within five years. We talk about building a company later in life, raising capital as a female founder, staying true to your mission, and what it means to define success on your own terms. Gail shares what it really felt like to walk away from the safety of a steady job, the highs and lows of starting over later in life, as well as it being what ultimately equip her for the hardships of taking on an industry you’re stranger to. We talk about the importance of admitting what you don’t know and when to ask for help. To take stock of what you’re not good at and be open to educating yourself for the better of your brand. Whether you're in a career rut, thinking about launching something new, or unsatisfied with Big Food, this conversation is your sign to bet on yourself. Thank you for listening!
