Listen "CurlMix (as seen on Shark Tank) - Kim & Tim"
Episode Synopsis
Today's guests are Kim and Tim Lewis, co-founders of CurlMix, a brand focused on clean beauty hair products for —you guessed it—curly hair. This is the second company that they've started together, but they'll be the first to tell you that their first was a failure. Still, they grew from the experience and attribute the success of CurlMix to the lessons learned from that first failed business. As you'll learn in this episode, Kim and Tim are innovative, driven, and work exceptionally well together. We've had a few founders on this show before who are married, and it's always immediately apparent why both the marriage and the company are successful. Kim and Tim perfectly complement each other's skillsets and have such infectious energy that it's a no-brainer why they were chosen to appear on not one, but two TV shows. Listen in as we cover everything from how they funded their first company on Tim's winnings from Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, how they grew CurlMix's sales from $140k to $1M in only one year, and why it's so important for them to be the entrepreneurial role models they never had while growing up in Chicago's South Side.
