#1886 The unbelievable story behind California Closets

Today’s guest was working for a company called California Closets which was an unbelievable entrepreneurial story. It was created by a 17 years old kid who ended up on Oprah talking about how successful he was. He ultimately sold the company to Williams-Sonoma and I remember reading a bunch of articles about how it didn’t do so well for them. Well, today’s guest ended up buying it from Williams-Sonoma and turning the company around. We’ll hear that story in this interview.

Anthony Vidergauz was CEO of California Closets which provides custom closets and home storage systems.
