1042: Jim Tselikis Co-Founder of Cousins Maine Lobster

<p>Jim Tseleikis is the co-Founder of Cousins Maine Lobster. Jim graduated college in 2008 and went into sales, specializing in medical device sales for about 4 years. While visiting his cousin in LA, the two men conjured up the idea for Cousins Maine Lobster, based on their love for family and lobster back in their home state of Maine. 13 months later, in April of 2012, the first Cousins Maine Lobster food truck opened in LA. They appeared on Shark Tank not long after that, and today they have 62 locations, including restaurants and food trucks, and they're a booming franchise.</p> <h2>Show notes…</h2> <h3>Favorite success quote/mantra:</h3> <ul> <li>"If you're prepared, you have nothing to worry about."</li> </ul> <h3>Today's sponsor:</h3> <p><a href="http://owner.com/unstoppable">Owner.com</a> is the leading all-in-one platform for restaurant marketing.
