The Polsky Founders' Stories is a regular, off-the-record, discussion with a founder on how they got started, what some of their early struggles were and how they overcame them.
Ever wonder how someone goes from a $10,000 investment to $20 million in sales? How someone starts a business alone in his or her apartment and ends up with an office in downtown Chicago and 80 employees? How someone takes the lessons of an unsuccessful first business and parlays that into a big and sustainable success?
