#1454 Can popcorn really be a $10 million dollar business?

52 minutes

If you had come to me and said, “Andrew, I’ve got a new idea for a business. We’re going to make popcorn, sell it in grocery stores and we’re going to make millions.” I would have said to you, “Anyone can make it at home. How are you going to get anyone to buy this thing? I don’t think it’s going to work.”

But I’d have been wrong because it is working. It’s what today’s guest is doing.

Cassandra Stavrou is the founder of Propercorn, a gourmet popcorn with flavors like fiery Worcestershire sauce and sundried tomato. I want to find out how she came up with the idea, how she’s getting so many people to buy popcorn off the shelves and what’s making the business so special.
