My team and I are 736 days (who's counting?) into building the best global frozen food distribution company in the industry and you know what the greatest feeling is? (insert humble brag) It wasn’t selling 500,000 lbs. of chicken in one day (today). It isn’t doing more business in the first month of this year than we did in the entire first 6 months of our existence in 2018. It isn’t suppliers, customers and friends/family telling us that our website and branding are really cool and innovative. (end humble brag) It actually has nothing to do with sales, money or growth at all. It’s when a new employee looks you dead in the eyes and says that the culture you’re building within this organization is incredible and like nothing he has ever seen before and that he is proud to be a part of it. I always thought people touting their culture was so cliché, until now. That has been the single best feeling I’ve experienced as a business owner yet. #business #sales #frozen #marketing #humblebrag #entrepreneur #todo #fooddistribution #chicken #branding #suppliers #money #thebest #culture

That's amazing! So many business owners want to create that culture, but make decisions along the way that sabotage themselves before they even know it. Congratulations on making the brand and company of your dreams!

Congratulations Eric!! It's so clear that you truly care about every little aspect of your business, which is such a great accomplishment in and of itself. It takes a big heart to start a business that goes this way, and it's amazing to see more and more heading that direction. What do you think has contributed the most to that culture you're building?
