Melissa Ben-Ishay was let go from her job before starting one of the most well-known cupcake companies in America. Baked by Melissa is known for its tie-dye, mini cupcakes. In this episode of In The Moment, sponsored by Citi, Ben-Ishay explains why she's so passionate about her business.
Ben-Ishay's brother was the driving force behind starting Baked by Melissa. She talks about how important is it to surround your business with inspiring and smart people.
