Entrepreneurism is a two-way street. On the one hand, it’s about following your passion; on the other, it’s about building knowledge and sharing what you’ve learned with others. There are learning curves, growing pains and myriad experiences that pave the road to success.
This week on FoodCrush, we chat with Maggie Joos, entrepreneur and owner of Real Good Life, a meal delivery service born of both a passion for food and a desire to assist others in achieving their dreams.
Joos talks about her journey to starting her own business, the inspiration behind Real Good Life and the day-to-day realities of balancing entrepreneurism and family. Along the way, we discuss the rapid growth of her business, the rapidly expanding meal delivery landscape, the value of eating meals together as a family and the trade-offs folks make everyday in the process of living their own Real Good Lives.

Lori is an avid cook whose accrual of condiments and spices is rivaled only by her cookbook collection. Her passion for the culinary industry was birthed while balancing A&W root beer mugs as a teenage carhop, fed by insatiable curiosity and fueled by the people whose stories entwine with each and every dish. She’s had the privilege of chronicling these tales via numerous media, including OnMilwaukee and in her book “Milwaukee Food.” Her work has garnered journalism awards from entities including the Milwaukee Press Club.
When she’s not eating, photographing food, writing or recording the FoodCrush podcast, you’ll find Lori seeking out adventures with her husband Paul, traveling, cooking, reading, learning, snuggling with her cats and looking for ways to make a difference.
