Grow Your Business From Start Up to Exponentially Successful Scale | Ep. 61 With In-Demand Business Coach, Larry Snyder
Larry has successfully led businesses for over 40 years. He began his career with a major food processing company and quickly became – at the age of 25 - the manager of an $80 million operation that moved 700 truckloads of peaches, pears, and tomatoes a day (yes, a day) to processing facilities throughout California. He was able to take that big company experience to a smaller, closely held company where he became a leader and a partner. That company serves the fresh produce industry and cools, then stores and ships lettuce, celery, and strawberries among other fresh produce items. During his time with the company, Larry and his partners have grown the business from $25 million a year in sales to $150 million a year in sales. As the company grew, facilities and equipment were built, the organization was developed and financing was needed. Larry and his wife, Lori, are also real estate investors with investments in apartments, shopping centers, and office complexes primarily in the southeast and in Texas. Larry has lived the pains and the thrills of growing and operating a successful business. He loves business and he loves helping people.
