How a TikTok Video Sparked $40k in Sales and Launched a Multi-Million Dollar Business | Justin Baer (MU Classic)
Description
#636 What if a simple TikTok video filmed by a seven-year-old could launch a million-dollar business? Or lead to a deal on Shark Tank? In this episode, host Kirsten Tyrrel sits down with Justin Baer, the founder and CEO of Collars & Co., a Mark Cuban-backed menswear brand that's changing how professional men dress. Justin takes us behind the scenes of his entrepreneurial journey — from the initial idea sparked during COVID to scaling the business into a full menswear line. He shares how a simple TikTok video filmed by his seven-year-old daughter turned into $40,000 in sales in the first month, why being willing to fail is key to success, and how giving away your product for free can be a powerful market test. Whether you're launching a product or looking to refine your business strategy, Justin's insights on testing, scaling, and building relationships will give you the confidence to take the next step!
