The food industry is a quickly growing and diversified field. Casey Cochran and Stephen Kaiser put their heads together and realized that the meal delivery niche within the industry had a few areas that could be vastly improved. Together, out of a spare bedroom, the two young entrepreneurs launched Fit Food Fresh. Even with no experience in the food industry between them, aiming at local clientele and utilizing their resources allowed them to raise the bar on customer service and quality. With very little of their own money to start, they managed to go from almost $90k revenue in their first year to already a 7-figure business as they enter their third year.

Secret Academy Episode – Justin Wetherill
Like many entrepreneurs, Justin Wetherill was unsatisfied with the limited options he found when he was faced with a problem: his brand-new iPhone fell out of his hand and needed to be fixed – ASAP. Justin noticed a prime industry market just begging to be serviced. Partnering up with his college friend, David Reiff, the two launched themselves into learning everything they could to provide a more logical solution to a common problem for consumers. After some initial trial and error, and help from mutual friend Eddie Trujillo, the guys opened the doors to the first uBreakiFix storefront. The explosive growth that followed was something Justin had not foreseen. Initially, Justin was biased against the idea of franchising, but after learning more about how he could customize the agreements to ensure a consistent experience, he decided it would be the best option. Today, over 4 years into franchising, uBreakiFix has nearly 300 open stores averaging around $677,000 a year in unit sales and 800 new stores committed to open over the next 36 months. With a solid performance monitoring infrastructure, thorough training of franchisees, it’s no wonder why uBreakiFix continues to raise the expectations and standards in the tech repair industry.
