Johnny Earle took a few minutes to talk with me about the rise of his multi-million dollar Johnny Cupcakes T-shirt line, the vanilla-scented car fresheners inside his retail shops and the passion behind what he's been working on for almost the last 10 years.
I first became aware of Johnny after reading a Fast Company article on his business a few years back. Since then, he's made the Best Young Entrepreneurs, Class of 2008 list by Business Week Magazine and the 2009 Inc 5000 (#237) list.
Now, the Midwest has a chance to hear Johnny's story next Thursday evening at Creighton University. The event starts at 7 p.m. and is free, but you must RSVP at creighton.edu/business/events/rsvpforjohnnycupcake.
Take a listen to my interview and I look forward to seeing you next Thursday!
