About This Episode  

Do you have a hobby that you have been wanting to turn into a business, but haven’t had that push to make it happen? Today I am joined by long-time friend John Currie and his wife Stacy to talk about their thriving salad dressing and marinade business, Semper Savage. A business that was fueled by a passion of salad, encouraged by friends and family, and ultimately created because of a humorous Christmas gift.
