The Profit
How are Marcus’s Small Business Growth Strategies Working?
In the second episode of season 3, Marcus returns to some of the companies he invested in during season 2 to show us how they are doing. To be frank, I would have preferred a regular episode at this point with Marcus focusing on what he does best which is creating growth strategies for small business. The review episodes are best left for season’s end.
So let’s look at what we learned last night:
Marcus Lemonis and the custom drum company
The Profit is back. Finally!
The master of small business growth strategies, Marcus Lemonis, has returned for a third season with a strong opening episode. SJC Custom Drums of Southbridge, MA was launched in 2000 by brothers Scott and Mike to design and build high quality drum kits. Over the years the company has provided kits to a number of professional bands including Green Day and Lady Gaga. The “s” in SJC stands for Scott who was the designer and technical genius behind the company’s products. Unfortunately, the brothers had some differences early on which led to very bad blood between them and culminated in Mike finally making an offer to buy Scott out of his 50% equity stake. Scott accepted the offer 5 years ago and has not been on speakers with his brother since.
Marcus Lemonis, the master of small business growth strategies, is back tonight with the third season of his hit show The Profit.
More good news from Sweet Pete’s:
The Profit’s Progress Report After Two Seasons
Some people might not do a progress report in the hopes that we don’t remember their failures. Not Marcus. He’s equally open about both failures and successes. As a result this turned out to be an enjoyable episode to watch especially because I got too see how some of my favorites were doing a year after The Lemonis Intervention. Hopefully at some point next year he will do a progress report on the businesses in the most recent episode such as Shuler’s B-B-Q, Coopersburg Sports, Simple Greek, Artistic Stitch, and Courage-b.
Marcus and Simple Greek (formerly My Big Fat Greek Gyro)
This was another good episode from a business lessons standpoint. Basically everything that could go wrong had gone wrong by the time Marcus arrived. My only complaint as usual is that the 42 minute show limitation left a great deal on the cutting room floor.
