#62: Starting a Breakfast Subscription Service during Lockdown with Jodie McGregor
Play • 40 min

"The only time success comes before work is in the dictionary." – Jodie McGregor 

​Jodie McGregor (@mybreakfastboxuk) ​ is the founder and head of nutrition at My Breakfast Box: A subscription service which delivers delicious breakfast boxes with nutritionally balanced options straight to your door! 

Having worked as a personal trainer for a number of years, Jodie saw first-hand how chaotic peoples’ lives can be. She also recognised how nutritious breakfast meals can fall by the wayside. With this in mind and with the support of her mentors, she jumped at the chance to create a solution, culminating in the launch of My Breakfast Box before the recent pandemic!  

The young subscription business has since gone from strength to strength! There’s a wide range of bars, granolas and porridges available to choose from and My Breakfast Box has featured in numerous publications, including The Guardian, The Daily Mirror and The Yorkshire Post.
