Stacy Madison grew her "accidental business", Stacy's Pita Chips, from $19,000 in annual sales to $65 million before being purchased by PepsiCo. She did it without an "exit strategy", just a customer-first strategy, and she is so very generous with sharing her story, experience and expertise.
I met Stacy when selected as one of 4 inaugural Canadian winners of the "Stacy's Rise Project". She continues to give back through this project, and has not surprisingly launched 2 new businesses since selling Stacy's. This is a MUST LISTEN for any aspiring or seasoned entrepreneur!
