Meet Kelly Mandeville – Connector, Creator, and Co-Founder of Monster Sauce.
With a background in film production, marketing, and brand storytelling, Kelly has spent her career building bridges between people, products, and purpose. After nearly a decade introducing Canadians to beloved craft breweries like Phillips and Beau’s, she co-founded Hop Forward—a nonprofit promoting inclusion and equity in the beer and hospitality industries.
In 2021, Kelly and her partner turned their go-to pandemic comfort food into Monster Sauce, a bold, award-winning condiment brand featured in The Globe and Mail and Chatelaine. Their growing lineup now includes Shorty’s Hot Honey, a hit with pizza lovers nationwide.
In this episode, Kelly talks about flavour, community, and the power of turning shared meals into something much bigger.
