Don't Get Too Comfortable
In this episode we interview Marc LaFleur, who is the CEO of TruLocal. TruLOCAL connects you to high-end, locally-sourced meat products - delivered right to your doorstep across Ontario. TruLOCAL ships overnight on dry ice, so your box will stay frozen during delivery – even if you’re not home when your box arrives! TruLOCAL’s customizable plans are commitment-free, so you can skip, pause, or cancel at any time - no strings attached! During this interview, Marc chatted about how schools aren’t built for entrepreneurship and how he used his innate skills for sales to go from a door to door meat salesman to a high end meat subscription business.
