From Prison to Profits | How Tim Dougherty Built Project Lean Nation
Episode 109: On this episode of Pursuit of Profit, Cliff talks with Tim Dougherty, founder and CEO of Project LeanNation. Tim grew up in tough circumstances, made decisions that landed him in federal prison and carried the weight of that shame for years. But instead of letting it define him, he rebuilt his life. Starting with the gym, a handful of prepped meals and a desire to help others. That small spark has grown into Project Lean Nation, a rapidly scaling healthy prepared meal franchise with over 80 units sold and more than 30 operating. Take a listen to this inspiring story about a profitable franchise.
