WHEN YOU START WITH LOVE, YOU CAN ACCOMPLISH ANYTHING
In From GED to Harvard Then Inc. 500, be prepared to fall not just for a city but for a couple who firmly believe that the most wildly successful businesses don't start with a sale or even a product ... they start with a desire to engage with others.
When they bought a run-down little market in 1982, the Wolfes didn't even consider the idea of failing. At seventeen and nineteen years old, Jane and Scott knew that if they were going to succeed, they needed to put their whole heart into their business. And it worked. The Wolfes found that success isn't as much about what you sell--it's about the feelings that your team members project and your customers walk away with. In short, it's about love.
From GED to Harvard Then Inc. 500 walks with the Wolfes through their journey from the early years of Wagner's Meat, its growth and utter destruction by Hurricane Katrina, their astonishing rebuilding, and the realization of running a New Orleans icon that has a little bit of everything ... and a whole lot of community engagement.
