Episode description

In #13, Michael Sikand and Simran Sandhu discuss the stories of Griffin Spolansky and Taylor Hersom. Griffin got his start peddling his grandma's salad dressing to local stores as a teenager. Now he's 26 and owns a snack bar brand called Mezcla that's in Whole Foods stores nationwide and generating $5M/yr in revenue because Americans love "the crunch". Next up is Taylor Hersom, the founder of Eden Data, who turned his small UpWork hustle into a bustling cybersecurity consulting firm that will do $6M in revenue this year. His big realization for starting it? Small companies can't sell to big companies without complying with a long list of security standards.
