Paleo can be a daunting word when it comes to dieting, but Julie and Mike Fox are flipping the script. When Mike was diagnosed with Barrett's Esophagus in 2015, Julie started making all-natural, gluten- and grain-free snacks to help her husband heal. Now thanks to hard work and a lot of support from Jordan Spieth and the U.S. Ryder Cup team, the Fox's launched Julie's Real, turning their homemade snacks into a national business. Co-Founders Julie and Mike Fox join Cheddar to discuss what it took to turn homemade snacks into a full-fledged business. The company first sold its nut butters and granolas in local Dallas-area stores. Now Julie's Real is available in stores in 30 states and online. Mike Fox says he believes 2018 is going to be a big year for company expansion.

US businesses that rely on Chinese imports express relief and anxiety
American businesses that rely on Chinese goods are reacting with muted relief after the U.S. and China agreed to pause their exorbitant tariffs on each other’s products for 90 days. Many companies delayed or canceled orders after President Donald Trump last month put a 145% tariff on items made in China. Importers still face relatively high tariffs, however, as well as uncertainty over what will happen in the coming weeks and months. The temporary truce was announced as retailers and their suppliers are looking to finalize their plans and orders for the holiday shopping season. They’re concerned a mad scramble to get goods onto ships will lead to bottlenecks and increased shipping costs.
