Right now Adam Eskin – the CEO of Pump Energy Food – is the CEO of a restaurant with 6 locations and a colt following.
I am a colt member.

I was sitting in the diner the other night for a quick bite finishing my grilled chicken wrap (whole wheat, of course) with lettuce and onion when a guy dressed to the nine walks in and sits two stools away from me.
This guy looked like Gordon Gekko. His suit and shirt was so perfectly pressed […]
It seems as though no one wants to be Mrs. or Mr. anyone anymore. Everyone wants to be their own person. I am absolutely all for that. In fact, I think that is what is causing all of these divorces. Or the lack of that, I should say.

If you’re starting a business, especially as a younger entrepreneur, you need to focus on your revenue model. I’m not saying you shouldn’t focus on serving your customers–I am obsessed with service. But I’m able to make money by obsessively servicing my clients.
Companies that are killing it in today’s economy embrace their customers. They realize without their customers they have no business. And they’re putting those customers to work, getting the word out.
If you just want to be famous, for fame’s sake then by all means sign up for a show. But if you’re really trying to do something besides becoming famous, I’m not so sure it’s your best move unless your show is about your business.

The only business where it’s acceptable (actually, encouraged) to brag about how much money you make
I find this very interesting because this is the only industry where the person/company selling goods can actually flaunt to their customers (who are affording them their lifestyle) how much money they’re making. And it doesn’t turn off the customer. Actually, I think the customers like it.
