You should read the story behind Woodie’s it is so personal that you cant help but buy into it. Cory, the founder, is not too proud to say that when he started the company he wasn’t very good at the practicalities of running a new business, so his Mom stepped in to help. And she is still involved. It’s a great heart warming feel-good story that actually makes you want to buy Cory’s products.
He’s not afraid to say that he doesn’t want to be working his tail off 12 hours a day and prefers being on the beach. His honesty is refreshing. And so is his style.
