“Just keep going.” on the Daily Grind ️, your weekly goal-driven podcast. This episode features Kelly Johnson @kellyfastruns and special guest Nicole Schlesinger @thestripjerky. Nicole is the founder of Strip Jerky, a woman-founded, chef-crafted jerky brand built around clean ingredients, premium cuts of beef, and branding that breaks completely from the hyper-masculine image the category has leaned on for decades. What started as a daily office snack - and one coworker commenting on the smell - turned into culinary school experiments, dehydrators running in a tiny apartment, and eventually a fast-growing brand focused on “stripping jerky down to the good stuff.” S9 Episode 24: 6/18/2026 Featuring Kelly Johnson with Special Guest Nicole Schlesinger Follow Our Podcast: Instagram: @dailygrindpod X: @dailygrindpod Facebook: TikTok: Podcast Website: Follow Our Special Guest: Website: Instagram: @thestripjerky Facebook: TikTok: @thestripjerky X: @thestripjerky
