Jodie McGregor started My Breakfast box whilst still a student. When Jodie came to Launchpad she was running two businesses – a personal training business and a luxury retreat business. The business idea she had at the time was that she had seen a gap in the market for healthy low sugar granola. So we started work on how she could start experimenting with this concept. 

During the pandemic however, Jodie realized she needed to change the business slightly and started breakfast subscription boxes. This was so successful she recently exited the business and sold it to a company in America.
