We recently connected with Jona Arroyo and have shared our conversation below.

Jona, appreciate you joining us today. Let’s kick things off with your mission – what is it and what’s the story behind why it’s your mission?

I have always been a very competitive person and very compassionate about giving people something new and different. I started Mad Picks because everyone around me has always enjoyed pickles but me. I wanted to create a product that was both tasty and healthy. My mission is to provide people with a snack that they can fool good about eating. whether they’re on the go or just looking for a quick and easy snack. I believe that food should be simple, wholesome, and delicious, and that’s what I strive to achieve with Mad Picks. I hope to inspire others to make healthy choices and to enjoy the simple pleasures in life, like a delicious sweet heat pickled jalapenos and cucumbers.

Jona, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?

Whether you are a fan of sweet, heat, or both, we got the perfect pickle for you. Go ahead, take a bite, and let the flavors dance on your tongue.

Can you talk to us about how your funded your business?

It was honestly a shot in the dark. I saved up enough money to jump start the business and put almost eveything into it and just like any other business, pray that it works out.

Any stories or insights that might help us understand how you’ve built such a strong reputation?

The fact that there wasn’t a lot of other people doing what I’m doing. With my market and sales skills, I feel that I had a lot more to offer to the table and something different.
