About this episode

In this episode of Black Out, we dive deep into the incredible journey of The Transformation Factory, led by Alexiou Gibson. We discuss how the company made $37 million in sales after securing a $600,000 deal from Kevin Hart and Mark Cuban on *Shark Tank*. We explore their rapid rise to $1,000,000 in revenue in just the first seven months of business, highlighting what it takes to secure a spot on *Shark Tank*. 


Alexiou shares why he prioritized relationships over money during his negotiations, revealing the importance of building genuine connections in business. We also touch on The Transformation Factory’s expansion into the largest sea moss factory in the U.S. to keep up with growing demand, and how Alexiou made $1,000,000 selling sea moss straight from his garage.


We break down the incredible benefits of sea moss, its diverse uses, and the significant impact food has on people of color. Don't miss this inspiring discussion on the power of sea moss and the impact of building a purpose-driven business from the ground up.
