Baking Everyone In: Jennifer Johnson and the Story of Gluten Free Please

When Jennifer Johnson’s health forced her to rethink food, she didn’t just adapt — she transformed her entire lifestyle and eventually built a thriving business from it. In this episode, Levi Te Slaa chats with Jennifer about how a personal dietary shift turned into Gluten Free Please, a beloved gluten-free baking mix company that’s making waves in kitchens everywhere.

Jennifer shares her journey from 25 years in banking to becoming a full-time entrepreneur.
