In this episode of The Bread Winner Podcast, I’m diving into one of my favorite topics—how to improve your products without falling into the trap of perfectionism. If you’ve ever held back from launching something new because it didn’t feel “perfect,” or if you’ve caught yourself making endless tweaks after one single comment, this conversation is going to bring so much clarity (and relief). I share my simple “test, tweak, repeat” framework that helps you confidently improve your products while still moving forward in your sourdough microbakery business.

You’ll hear how I collect honest feedback, what types of changes are actually worth making, and how to avoid overthinking every loaf or cookie that comes out of your oven. I also talk about how to stop second-guessing and start trusting your process—because consistency builds trust, and that’s what keeps customers coming back. Whether you’re testing new flavors or refining your existing staples, this episode will help you stay focused, strategic, and grounded in what’s really working.
