It was a bonus that she could take it along in her mom- van, and the kids could nibble on it dur- ing their rides without leaving behind a mess of crumbs in the car. "Our lives are so busy, so, as a mom, I can have this in my minivan as I pick the kids up from practice," she said. Humrichouser's friends encouraged her to take her Granola Cookie Crunch to the local farmers market, where, every weekend for two years straight, she sold out. Local grocery retailers saw what was happening, and a few of them approached her and asked her if they could carry her product in their stores after the farmers market season had ended. Humrichouser started looking for a commercial kitchen. She found a 350 square-foot facility that had been vacated by a pizza kitchen. "It was a few minutes from our house, and it was a small kitchen that we could move into and get it licensed because it had been used for food service in the past," she said. Three years later, she moved out of the former pizza shop and into a 1,000 square-foot facility. Then in January, 2017, she moved into a 7,500 square-foot bakery, where eight employees make small batch after small batch of her Granola Cookie Crunch in four year- round flavors as well as occasional sea- sonal flavors. "With this move, it has allowed us to be in a location that suited us for bringing on larger customers," she said. The move has also facilitated sup- plier audits and food safety planning and documentation to qualify for national distribution to grocers who sell the prod- ucts in either the granola, healthy snack or cookie sections of their shelves. Crazy Monkey Baking has also just Crazy Monkey Baking (Cont'd. from p. 1) been certified as a woman-owned busi- ness, and Humrichouser offers contract manufacturing services to other compa- nies that have a granola formula but not a facility. "Even after all this time, baking is still my greatest passion," she said. "I don't get to do it that often any more, that that's what I love working with most in the business." Crazy Monkey Baking is now offered in Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip and Dark Chocolate Chip, Mint Chocolate Chip and Cranberry Almond flavors in 1.25-ounce bags that are smart- snack approved for schools. They retail for 99 cents to $1.49. Those four flavors plus White Chocolate Cranberry are also offered in 7.5-ounce bags along with a rotation of seasonal flavors that includes Cinnamon Pecan in the winter, Lemon Coconut in summer and Pumpkin Seed & Spice in the fall. Additional special-edition fla- vors also appear occasionally. "We have a variety of flavors, so there's some vari- ety to appeal to the kids and adults alike," Humrichouser said. All of the products are wheat free and made with 100 percent whole grains. Oats are naturally gluten free, and the products are sweetened with honey, molasses and evaporated cane sugar. A serving of the Dark Chocolate Chip fla- vor Granola Cookie Crunch contains 8 grams of added sugars and 6 grams of fat along with 3 grams of protein and 150 calories. "There is fat in oats and in whole grain cornmeal and in flax seeds, but it's all healthy fat," Humrichouser said. "When you have the real ingredi- ents without the fats stripped from them, you're going to get those good, healthy calories in the fat."

Actionable knowledge transfer is a big component of that. As we work on engagements with our clients, we're teaching," says Lang. "This drives more informed market decisions, so our clients can sustain their competitive advantage even after we're gone." The space is hyper competitive and dominated by 44 Fortune 100 companies. Lang puts it bluntly. "Look, these mid- market clients really have to play a dif- ferent game. They've got to be smarter, quicker, and turn the rule book on its head." XIL addresses this issue by asking the right questions – the key to any strat- egy – and by intently listening to their clients. Solutions are customized based on clinical assets, pricing capabilities and overall goals of the engagement. To get to the right answers, XIL challenges clients' assumptions, so that clients par- XIL Consulting (Cont'd. from p. 1) ticipate in the same robust debates the XIL team has amongst themselves. As Lang explains, "Everything we work on is incredibly complex, and there isn't a single answer. Some answers are more efficient. When we finish an engagement, our clients can actually execute their new strategies and get to a better, more com- petitive position." XIL's unconventional model of consulting resonates with the market. In just five years, the firm is a proven suc- cess, quickly growing in size to meet an ever-increasing demand. XIL combines phenomenal talent, representing decades of deep and wide market knowledge, with a sophisticated analyt- ics platform to benefit their clients. A final point from Lang, "Our position as part of your team, that philosophy of alignment, sets us apart. We're deeply vested in your success. That's our long- term play."
