Wear the Colorful Suit with Sabeena Ladha of Deux

Sabeena was like every other millennial and took the straight and narrow corporate career path. Then when the world shut down and she was quarantined to her home, Sabeena mixed her love of healthy eating and a cookie dough obsession with her career knowledge of the snack industry to create a good-for-you cookie dough company.  In today’s episode, we sit down with Sabeena Ladha, CEO and founder of Deux, a healthy cookie dough company for women. Sabeena shares how she started Deux in her own kitchen during the pandemic, how she found herself on Shark Tank, how to raise capital, and so much more.  “It started as, okay, women’s nutrition and healthy indulgences, and then kind of transformed into how do we create what women want to eat and do it in a way that they want to consume it?” – Sabeena Ladha If you’re looking to take your business to the next level, join the Entreprenista League today at entreprenista.com/join.

Like you can keep pushing and keep finding a way there and I think noes are really discouraging and you get a shit ton of them doing this, like everybody says no, it’s much easier to say no than yes. So in this world being able to kind of navigate around that and not get discouraged is, I think, it’s super important.” – Sabeena Ladha Connect with Sabeena Ladha: EatDeux.com – use code Entreprenista20 to save 20% on your order!
