There are plenty of people that think they have a good chili recipe. Very few bet their careers on it. That’s what first caught our eye about Jordan Robarge.
After working in the startup world as a Venture for America fellow, Jordan started a food truck business called Revival Chili. He found success quickly and was profitable within three months. Revival Chili’s business is simple: Sell delicious chili products to the people of Pittsburgh in a tiny house style food truck. What makes it different, is Revival’s focus on creating jobs for unemployed ex-offenders, a disadvantaged group often overlooked in U.S. Cities. After proving his business chops, Jordan doubled down and bought a diner. The goal is to put even more people to work. In this conversation, Aaron and Jordan discuss how he cold called his way to early success, how you can buy a business for less than $100,000, and what the Revival brand represents.
