Gary Knight lives in Gardnerville, NV, and sells beautiful hand-decorated chocolates with his cottage food business, Knight’s Candy Shop.

Gary has a fascinating story that starts with overcoming his alcohol addiction. He actually started making and consuming chocolate to stay sober, and then a couple of years later he was in a serious car accident that left him with a traumatic brain injury.

Amazingly enough, not only did making chocolate help him overcome his alcohol addiction, but it also became a form of therapy that helped him recover from his brain injury!

And as a result, he became an expert in making beautiful and delicious chocolates, and people started asking him to sell them. And that’s precisely what he’s been doing!

In this episode, you’ll hear what Gary learned on his unusual path to starting a cottage food business.
