I wanted to thank you for thinking of us, and also reach out to you in hopes that we could help Mary to pursue her dreams of bringing her dipping sauces to market. - Rob, Foodzie co-founder Hi John, I was recently talking to one of the small, independent food producers who sells with us on Foodzie, and he mentioned that you recommended Foodzie as a possible venue for Mary to sell her dipping sauces.

Hope she has as much sucess.

We thought it was such a shame that Mary didn't catch the entrepreneurial bug until she was 70, but we realized that we didn't catch the entrepreneurial bug till we hit our forties ourselves, and age has nothing to do with it. There's that bad rap out there that slams successful entrepreneurs as somehow being lucky. But we've realized that when you have an idea, a passion and the willingness to follow it, you are in the right place at the right time, whether you're 20, 40 or 70. And the powers of the universe have conspired to put you in the unique position of creating your own luck. Mary: You go girl!!!! And thanks John and Dani for being there at the right moment to help her see that. We cheered out loud for Mary.

We are amazed on a daily basis as to how many can work and don't, yet the Mary's of the world do give us hope. Good luck with the show. We'll be watching. John, Mary’s story just brought tears.
