Daina Trout first learned how to brew kombucha at Tufts University where she earned Masters' degrees both in Nutrition and Public Health. After graduation, Trout moved to Los Angeles and in 2012, she co-founded Health-Ade Kombucha with her husband, Justin Trout, and best friend, Vanessa Dew.

What started as a small production in Trout's apartment closet has become a national brand available in more than 20,000 grocery stores and health food markets, including Target, Whole Foods and Costco. She sat down with Jessica Abo to discuss her company's success and her advice for new parents trying to juggle it all.
