Episode Synopsis

Founded in 2018 by Jess Fuller and Annie Berdar, BARE Blends began as a movement toward healthier living and environmental sustainability — rooted in whole, plant-based ingredients with no added sugars, flavor enhancers, or artificial additives.What started as one small shop in Stuyvesant Plaza in Albany, NY, has grown into a brand with locations in multiple states and a loyal following of people who care about what they put into their bodies and the planet we share.In this episode, I sit down with Jess and Annie to reflect on their seven-year journey — the lessons learned, the mindset behind building a mission-driven business, and the community they’ve cultivated along the way.Jess also shares her deeply personal story of fighting breast cancer, opening up about how that experience reshaped her priorities around health, family, and entrepreneurship.This conversation is about more than smoothies — it’s about resilience, purpose, and building a life and brand that’s truly Bare at its best.🎙️ Listen now on Built Different — available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and YouTube.
