Secret Academy Episode - Gunnar LovelaceGunnar grew up in poverty status with a single mother. Growing up in this environment he saw a lot of his mothers struggles, but he also saw how hard she worked to ensure he had healthy choices growing up as a kid.

By creating Thrive Market Gunnar has effectively helped bring healthy eating options into American homes that once could not afford it, helping to make America a happier and healthier place.
