In this episode, you are going to learn from co-founder and CEO of The Goulet Pen Company, Brian Goulet. This is probably one of the most niche market industries I’ve interviewed so far.
Brian has an amazing story of growth in an industry he knew nothing about before he started his business with his wife more than 10 years ago. I think that you will enjoy his stories as he shares his windy path through business success.
In this interview, we talk about:
- How many years the business went without a business plan.
- Brian shares The Goulet Packing Method and why it is a differentiator in his industry.
- The big mistake Brian realized after hiring his first employee.
- Brian is a reader, so if you are looking for good books to read, get ready to take note.
