How The 'Pie Crust Cookie' Creator Brings In $1 Million A Year In NYC
As a former addict who climbed out of addiction I just wanna applaud her !!! I now work for the postal service and making 75k a year and just bought my own home. The years before I was homeless with no hope. See what you can do !!!!!! I absolutely love this !!!
Congrats to you!
Congratulations!!! That's awesome. I've heard they have great benefits.
Was it hard getting a job there
Keep it on you did well to leave the drug alone 👏🏼
Congratulations hope you’re doing well
EVERY FAMILY HAS SOMEONE WHO BREAKS THE CHAIN OF POVERTY IN THAT FAMILY,I PRAY YOU BE THE ONE
She grew up on the Upper West side of NYC …. I don’t think she grew up poor 🤔
Not true, my family has been poor since the 1800s and we’re still poor.
@@Anonymous.24. and you grew up in one of the most expensive areas in United States too 😑?
or breaks the chain of success and falls into poverty, drugs, abuse etc. It happens both ways.
🙌🏽
You are to be commended for the fact that you didn't let addiction control your whole life. Congratulations and continue the good work.
just stay out of it and never have a issue
This is my favorite episode yet. I love that she hires formerly incarcerated and homeless people. Janie is such an inspiration. I’m literally ordering her cookies now!!!!
I bet they have way better work ethics then a say 16 or 18 year old. They wont be constantly on their phones.
Way to go girl, I've been sober for 11 years and went from living with grandma and being in rehab for Christmas to practicing medicine! It works if you work it!
Congratulations Deighton! I'm really happy you're doing well. Jesus loves you and I hope you have a great day!
@@Njidekawhat if they weren’t christian?! Mentioning religion is inappropriate. I’m religious, but I don’t impose it onto others. Very rude.
That's wonderful! Good for you!
EXCELLENT
@@DX-d Who cares, mind your own business. They werent even talking to u
She fought so hard for the life she has and deserves every success! Congratulations Janie 😁
I love that Janie talks about her "life changing cookies" - I realize after watching this video what she truly means by putting that above the front door to each of her shops. She's mission-based, which makes all the difference. Congratulations, Janie!
I seriously started crying when she started talking about the people she hires. Amazing. As someone who got a second chance and ended up succeeding because of it…everything she said was true. So much to prove.
inspiring to see something built to scale from the ground up in modern times!
I must try one of these cookies!
This woman is inspirational. Really happy to see her flourish
This Young Lady will go far in life!!! What a sweetheart to give others such an opportunity/ job when they’re in such need of a purpose. Cheers to her!!
I love her story. And I am so proud of Janie and wait to visit one of her locations❤🎉
This was very inspiring to hear. I love that this company don’t judge people on their past but places a focus on their common interest in baking while looking to build a productive future 🎉 I’m definitely going to order some cookies 🍪 Janie thank you for being bold to share your story with the world . I know that when people hear this , they too will put their hands to doing good work to help contribute to their private heart space , their private homes , then publicly help their communities and the nations at large 🎉
Wow what a powerful story. I love that she has a heart for people that came from struggle
Her story just hit my heart in all of the right places ❤ Thank you for sharing Janie. I find so much love in baking also and first found it when I was literally battling myself (feeling like an imposter for success I’d experienced, fear, anxiety, hopelessness!) in late 2021 & 2022. Baking helped me to breatheeee clean and clear again thank God. I’m saving this to watch over and over again. Selah. You were not alone. I hope all of your purest, wildest dreams come true! ❤🚀
What an inspiring story! (I'm an HR person and like to bake, so I seriously admire her.) This shows that there really is redemption, for Janie, and for her employees, and for all of us.
Would you ever do it professionally
I don’t know you but I loved hearing your story and I am so glad for you. Addictions are a huge rock on anyone’s path. I admire you for being honest to yourself and recognize you needed to change. You are an amazing example. God bless you and your business.
this woman is everything -- total inspiration
Janie is a real life Angel. I love her honesty and her genuineness to work hard, evolve and blossomed into someone amazing. She’s a true fighter. Not everyday Simone like her pops up on our screen sharing such an challenging past traumatic experience that is so ubiquitous to many others we have known. What a light she is ❤
Yay Janie! 🎉 you are such a superstar! I’m so happy for you and all of your growth! ❤❤❤
Omg this story is amazing! Need to see more stories like this! I wish I could give this girl a hug she’s gone far in life and truly
Overcome a lot of struggles. You go girl xoxoxo
This is really inspiring! I'm entering the job market and this is an important reminder to make sure it's my passion. People have encouraged me to sell my baked items too, maybe I should look into that on the side
WOW!! Incredible!! Congratulations on such a great feat! Wish you the continuous best!
She and her brother were so blessed to be encouraged to explore their passions.
Janie, you are such an inspiration! so proud of you!!!
Janie, congrats on your success, you SOOOO earned it. Just friggin awesome!!!! Just may have to mail order some of your cookies. Take care and be well.
Thee cookies sound delicious!! Congrats on the business and for having hiring give others a second chance as well! I absolutely love that and your story inspires me!
This lady seems like such a pure soul. 💞
Wow! Your testimony is soooo very inspirational! So very happy for you and truly happy for your success!!!
I was just in NY! I need to come back to check this place out! Plus I love how she give opportunities to others for work ❤❤❤❤
Nice story of overcoming and helping others overcome.
SO PROUD OF YOU JANIE! ❤
God bless 🙌🏽 🙏🏽 ❤️ her on becoming sober😀. Also starting her own business
Your story is so inspiring. Absolutely love this!
Amazing story!!
An awesome video and such a wonderful inspiring lady, l wish her continued happiness and success in her business and life. ❤
Aww this is so motivational and inspiring. I can relate to her in many ways. Thanks for sharing. Wishing her a lot of more success.
I love that positive spin on imposter syndrome, how you are not undeserving but rather your experiences are exciting and special and should be cherished
What an amazing person ❤
Such a sweet watch ❤
Inspiring story and individual
great, great video. really enjoyed
These are yummy! I love the triple berry pie crust cookie:)
Congratulations! You deserve your success. Thank you for hiring people who have or are trying to overcome the adversity in their lives! They are definitely the ones you hire. They know where they’ve been and they know they don’t want to go back there. God bless you and your business. If you ever have any left it would be a blessing to drop them off at a shelter or soup kitchen. Better yet would be to donate some before you start selling.
I just found out about you 20mins ago. Watched this video & a GMA video on your pie crust cookies. You said “Apple” was your favorite in one video ~ so that’s the one I just ordered 5mins ago. I reside in Chicago. I can’t wait! I’ll go back & try the pecan - u mentioned you liked that one in the GMA video.
So inspiring!!
Wow! Amazing story ❤️
My siblings hate me for no longer drinking. They continue on with substance abuse of various types.
You are great!!
This was an awesome story.
Love this. Glad its not just another course advertisement as well
Congratulations! Very proud of you!
This is great. Will visit and or order soon!
I so love this and I definitely will be buying some of these!!!❤❤

Very inspiring. Congrats to you. Wish you even more success. Never heard of a "pie crust cookie" until now. I love pecan pie. I love cookies. So I'm pretty darn sure I'll love those pecan pie crust cookies. Is there delivery?
My favorite episode
Congrats, you are inspiring!
A beautiful story
What an uplifting story. I want some of those cookies!
Congratulations to your hard work and continued success.
Way to go for her.Congratulations
Awesome You Rock
Very inspiring story. Did she mention how she went from selling at fairs to opening up a store? I know that requires some serious capital.
Amazing story,i wish her well. Love how she pays it forward by hiring the unhirable
DAYUM!! What an incredible story!
Oh I wish that you shipped to the UK, what an amazing story.
amazing
Definitely going to try this place next time I'm in the city!
Well done
I love how you are makinh room for others
This is so nice. May the Lord bless all that you do. ❤
Congrats lady, well done.
EXCELLENT VIDEO So BEAUTIFUL
Question:
$2.75 ... for EACH Cookie?
Congratulations 👏🏾🎉!!! More reason for us to become millionaires.
Congratulations ❤
Congratulations on your success, but more so on making changes and being able to ask for help dealing with your alcoholism.
For whatever reasons, and I can imagine there might have been many, my brother couldn't get himself to ask for real help, though family and I were there to support him and he died most likely due to the effects of alcoholism on his body.
I wish you continued success and to those in similar situations, that you are will to hire. Peace.
I wish her all the very best.
Nice!
5:00 - 5:48 - what is the song called?
I need to try the pie crust cookie.
Inspired
Congratulations to her.
Most people venture into crypto to be wealthy,meanwhile I just want to be debt free.
Talking about been successful. I know I am blessed if not I wouldn't have met someone is as spectacular as Anna S Wilson
She has helped me recovered a lot from the time I have trading with her
Yes I'm a living testimony of Anna S Wilson, her platform has also done a great thing for me
Yes, that's Anna s Wilson, she is the real deal. I have already given up on trading when I decided to try her, turned out to be the best decision I made.
Having monitored my portfolio performance, Anna wilson has made me a jaw dropping $370k from just the past two quarters alone. I have learned why these experienced traders make enormous returns from the seemingly unknown market
This is a real business not what Mlmers call a business. I love that she points out those who are homeless are the hardest works. When the new generation thinks the job is below them. Janie has tapped to a market of un tapped employees.
Super inspiring story about redemption! But I was a little taken aback that she wears a hair net during packaging, but not during baking. I'd be willing to try the pie crust cookie for the experience.
Those are just for picture and this video. On her page, she is often wearing one
I wish more employers would just look at the person and not what they bring to the table. She's a create example and e role model!!!
I love baking 🍪too and lately my favorite is❤ pie crust cookies but my version is so quick to made and super cheap for 4 ingredient
She is a great example of success in sobriety
congrats
Running to order some 😅
If this channel has taught me one thing it's that you can make a ton of money selling cookies
