Sally Hogshead, brand innovation consultant

Warren Brown, inspirational entrepreneur and founder of “Cake Love”
The owner of CakeLove and Love Café and host of Sugar Rush on the Food Network. Brown loves developing new recipes and products that are sold through his bakery and café or included in his new cook book, CakeLove. In 2000, he left his career as a lawyer to pursue a dream and start a business. Sensing that people wanted better cake, he founded CakeLove in 2002. Through hard work, positive word-of-mouth advertising, and direct marketing, Brown has grown his business from a moonlighting project into a thriving retail business.
