In this episode of The Capital Raiser Show, Richard C. Wilson sits down with Tim Cohen, founder and CEO of Eggs Unlimited, for a fireside chat on scaling a business to $900 million in annual revenue, building a culture of A players, staying laser focused on a core business, and what it really takes to grow from zero to industry leader.
Tim shares the unexpected turning point that launched Eggs Unlimited almost overnight, including why what felt like the worst day of his professional life became the best, and how relentless focus on one business - not ten - made all the difference.
