While it may only take a great idea to start a business, it takes a heck of a lot of hard work to build a successful one.
Five years ago Patrick Coddou was unhappily working at his corporate job when he had an idea, spurred by personal passion and necessity.
That idea eventually got off the ground with two successful Kickstarters, and recently landed Patrick and his wife and co-founder, Jessica, on Shark Tank, where they got backing from Robert Herjavec.
This idea, which has now grown into a multi-million dollar company, is Supply, a men’s shaving and grooming company.
Today Patrick joins us to give an inside look at what makes Supply successful today, and the challenges he faces as he continues to grow his business.
Enjoy!
