Paleo can be a daunting word when it comes to dieting, but Julie and Mike Fox are flipping the script. When Mike was diagnosed with Barrett's Esophagus in 2015, Julie started making all-natural, gluten- and grain-free snacks to help her husband heal. Now thanks to hard work and a lot of support from Jordan Spieth and the U.S. Ryder Cup team, the Fox's launched Julie's Real, turning their homemade snacks into a national business. Co-Founders Julie and Mike Fox join Cheddar to discuss what it took to turn homemade snacks into a full-fledged business. The company first sold its nut butters and granolas in local Dallas-area stores. Now Julie's Real is available in stores in 30 states and online. Mike Fox says he believes 2018 is going to be a big year for company expansion.

Workers in the public sector have also been hit hard. Federal jobs were cut by the thousands earlier this year. And many workers are now going without pay as the U.S. government shutdown has now dragged on for more than a month.
