On to tonight's featured leader, one of my favorites. It's Kat Cole, CEO of AG1. When she was hired at AG1 a few years ago, they were doing $160 million in revenue. Now they're doing more than $500 million a year. Before that, she was president.
Of Cinnabon and focus brands. And before that, she started as a Hooters waitress who earned an MBA before her undergraduate degree. I do not know anyone else who has done that. We first recorded together in December 2015, more than a decade ago. It's episode number 78, one of my all-time favorites.
