After an insanely successful first day, the founders of Cousins Maine Lobster knew they had an instant classic on their hands. But what they didn’t know was that some of their early customers were actually Shark Tank producers. Not once, but twice, the producers tried to convince the two founders into appearing but each time, they turned it down. Eventually, the call of the Tank was too powerful to ignore and Cousins Maine Lobster appeared on Season 4 of Shark Tank. Since closing a deal with Barbara Corcoran, they have been able to expand to over 50 trucks and locations across 24 states. In today’s episode, we chat with Sabin Lamac, the co-founder of Cousins Maine Lobster about:

🦈 How his relationship with Barbara has evolved over the years to where they’re now practically family
