Join Mama Lil’ Peppers Founder, Howard Lev, and Seattle Times Now & Then Columnist, Jean Sherrard, for a spicy take on starting a small business.

Lev will share his rollicking tale of failure and — ultimately — success as he built his pepper business, wedding his mother’s family recipe to the Hungarian Goat-horn peppers of Yakima Valley. Lev and Sherrard will share videos, discuss Lev’s book A Pepper for Your Thoughts, and even prepare snacks with his famous Mama’s Lil’ Peppers.
