Pippa Murray is the visionary behind Pip & Nut, the wholesome nut butter brand on a mission to make tasty-but-natural treats for all.

Pippa embarked on her entrepreneurial journey inspired by her love for running and a quest for healthy snacks. While training for a marathon, Pippa saw a lack of nut butters free from sugars and additives among mainstream options.

With no formal background in food or business, Pippa's dream and an unyielding determination drove her forward. A former theatre producer, she embraced the challenges and creativity of starting a business head-on. Today, her products stack supermarket shelves and bring in millions every year.

Tune in to this episode of Sound Advice: Entrepreneurs Unfiltered to hear Pippa spill the tea on how she juggled multiple roles and responsibilities, built a business as a solopreneur, and got the funding to turn her delicious idea into B Corp-certified reality.
