DINA: Welcome to the first ever “interview with an entrepreneur…” from Entrepreneur’s Breakfast and Wordfeeder Copywriting.
This month we’re hearing from Michael Adams of Eddie’s Energy Bars in scenic Richmond, Vermont. Thanks for taking time out of your busy schedule to be with us today, Michael!
MICHAEL: Thanks for having me as your guest!
DINA: Okay, let’s begin. You run a successful business, and yet you’re in college. How do you manage to pull this off?
MICHAEL: This even baffles me sometimes! The secret is that my workload is somewhat reversed when I am at school. I (almost) always put school ahead of my company, so I get all of my reading done before I work on the website or call potential retailers. I also have wonderful parents who are my head bakers and distributors. They produce and distribute the energy bars while I am at school. Having that taken care of is great, and I can tend to administrative duties (making all of the business decisions) when I have time.
