What is the relationship between Moloco Consulting and Sugar Strategist?When Monica (the Mo) and Louis (the Lo), decided it was time to embark on an endeavor together with the aim of aiding other businesses, they realized that they wanted to be able to offer assistance to other entrepreneurs and businesses in ways that would have benefitted them when managing their own companies. Recognizing that they wouldn't be where they are without the mentorship they received over the years, they wanted to pay it forward, which led directly to the creation of Mololo. As Moloco gained momentum, they identified a specific area requiring focused attention – the food market. Individuals involved in treat-making, home baking, and other segments of the food and dessert industries encounter distinct challenges when establishing themselves. Sugar Strategist emerges as the solution to this issue, thanks to its community and resources tailored specifically to the unique needs of food industry professionals.
