Guilt-Free Solution to Snacking

Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in food and beverage but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Daniele Di Giorgio, Founder of BiteLife Foods Inc., located in Montreal, QC, Canada.

What's your business, and who are your customers?

We are BiteLife, and we produce and sell all-natural bites. Our bites are balanced nutritionally that they can be eaten as a snack throughout the day, on-the-go, and even help athletes with their pre/post-workout. Our customers are athletes, sports organizations, gym-goers, and health-conscious consumers.

Tell us about yourself

I am a former professional soccer goalkeeper playing in Italy and in Northern Ireland throughout my young career. Once COVID forced me to return back home in 2020, I looked for the ideal snack to cater to my nutritional needs whilst being confined. Given my love for food, I decided to bake something on my own. After over one year of testing and experimentation, I came up with the BiteLife bite recipe and decided to share this product that helps me every day with the people around me. Given the amazing feedback and support, I decided to open BiteLife Foods Inc. I am motivated each day to do what I do because I am now able to share a product in which clients will be able to understand its nutritional quality and enjoy its taste at the same time thus bringing everyone closer to a tasty and healthy future.

What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?

My biggest accomplishment as a business owner is seeing the progress our company has made from its first day to where it is today, and all the people, companies, foundations, etc. I was able to help along the way. The satisfaction received from making such a positive change in nutrition during this journey is amazing, and I am looking forward to reaching out to even more people in the coming years.

What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?

I believe the hardest thing that comes with being a business owner is the chaotic schedule meaning that most days, I may have to work from early morning until late night in which there are tasks to complete, research to do, meetings to attend to, deadlines to meet, etc. It is therefore important to keep track of everything and write down everything that has to be done as soon as it comes up.

What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?

If you are looking to start a business and grow it successfully, you must commit yourself and your time entirely to it.
When growing a business, don't be afraid to make mistakes; they will occur anyway, so use them to learn and gain experience!
The amount of work that comes with starting, running, and growing a business is overwhelming to many, so keep yourself organized and always find some time for yourself.

If you are looking to be a successful business owner, you must believe in and love every part of it. If the business owner is hesitant about its success, its potential customers will doubt it even more.
