- How does one go from burning the financial ships to being featured on Netflix, Today Show, Fox & Friends, and even having the product used in the Oval Office?
- What are some of the major lessons along the way when creating a whole new industry?
- Hindsight being 20/20, what are the things that could be done differently for a better exit?
- How does one disrupt an industry that is “locked into” its old ways because, “This is the way it’s always done”?
Come join us with the Founder of Cutting Edge Firewood for a full hour of insights in how a commodity of firewood transformed into a “Gucci” of firewood, disrupt fields that are ripe for innovation, and perspectives from an owner going through the exit process!
Our Speaker:
Leroy Hite
Cutting Edge Firewood
Founder
Most people see firewood as a commodity. Leroy Hite transformed it into a luxury brand used in the Oval Office, featured on Netflix, the Today Show, and Fox & Friends—and in doing so, he created an entire industry from scratch. He believes the path to extraordinary results runs straight through discomfort and risk.
Leroy’s leadership philosophy is simple yet powerful: he builds kind teams that deliver tough truths.
He has been recognized with the Berry College Entrepreneurial Spirit Award, honored twice as a 40 Under 40 recipient, and credited with sparking a wave of hundreds of competitors nationwide.
