Phenomenal Women is a series moderated by Radio Boston host Tiziana Dearing that invites women who have risen to the top of their professions to share their stories – from scientists researching how our brains work and athletes coaching major league sports to journalists transforming newsrooms, to artists reclaiming women’s voices.
Entrepreneur Deborah Torres turned heads when she turned down an eye-popping $1 million offer in 2019 from billionaire investor Marc Cuban and guest investor Rohan Oza on the ABC television show “Shark Tank.” Cuban and Oza wanted 100% of her vegan fried chicken start-up Atlas Monre. That wasn’t in the cards for Torres and her goal to deliver on healthy, plant-based alternatives to her family’s favorite foods.
Atlas Monroe has since gone on a business growth trajectory expanding nationwide and reaching over $2 million in sales. Join Radio Boston host Tiziana Dearing in a conversation with Torres about her entrepreneurial journey and vegan food mission.
