He started at 13 with his grandfather’s recipe — and turned it into a business. 🥜

On this episode of The Nikki Clarke Show, Dr. Nikki Clarke sits down with Braedon Kwok, founder of Grandad’s Nuts, the Caribbean roadside-style peanut brand built on his grandfather Kelly Kwok’s recipe from Guyana.

Braedon shares how a family recipe became a growing food brand — from mason jars and hand-printed labels to store shelves across the GTA — and the lessons he’s learned along the way about patience, resilience, and integrity in business: “Your word, and how people view you, is more important than any financial amount of money.”

In this episode:
• How Braedon started Grandad’s Nuts at just 13 years old
• Turning a family recipe into a brand — Original Spiced, Just Salt, and an Extra Spicy on the way
• Winning a grant through the IDEA Mississauga incubator program
• Why he gives out free samples, and won’t sell anything he wouldn’t buy himself
• His advice for young entrepreneurs who are afraid to take the first step

Grandad’s Nuts are vegan, gluten-friendly, and made in small batches with no preservatives — available at Charlie’s in Mississauga, ASA in Brampton, and M&A in Scarborough.
