Entrepreneur Got Rich Selling The Biggest Worm Farm In The World

About this episode

Tom built UNCO Industries from a borrowed dairy barn into the #1 earthworm casting brand in the country. He developed a proprietary vermiculture system, scaled to 700+ production bins, and shipped Wiggle Worm nationwide for 49 years.

When it was time to sell, traditional brokers wanted 10-15% and control of the deal. He found Rejigg, got qualified leads within weeks, and sold 80% of the company to a buyer his kids still work with today.

A conversation about starting a manufacturing business as a teenager, the science behind industrial vermiculture, building a brand in an industry nobody takes seriously, and why the best time to exit is when you don't need to.
