About this episode

Janine Allis shares insights on building a successful food empire and transforming customer relationships.

She’s queen of a $300M food empire including Boost Juice and Betty’s Burgers. But she went to a school known only for their yard fights and teen pregnancies. Here is why she wouldn’t change a thing. Janine Allis is the founder of Boost and chair of Retail Zoo. With zero business experience, she opened 100 stores in four years, became a household name on Shark Tank , and has just gone back on Survivor at 60 years old after placing 6th in 2019. In this episode of Chew the Fat , Janine reveals how to turn customers that hate you into raving fans, why you never learn from success (but rather from failure) and how to spot entitled victims and blamers before they infect your team.
