THE THOUGHTFUL ENTREPRENEUR PODCAST
Flexing Success: How Nathan Corn Built FlexPro Meals From the Ground Up
This week on The Thoughtful Entrepreneur, we sat down with Nathan Corn, the dynamic founder and president of FlexPro Meals. With just $10,000 in savings, zero investors, and a vision to deliver healthy, delicious meals to people’s doorsteps, Nathan transformed his startup into a $5 million powerhouse in just four years.
A Vision Fueled by Hustle and Strategy
Nathan’s entrepreneurial journey wasn’t sparked by a lifelong dream but rather a desire for freedom and self-direction. Working tirelessly to grow FlexPro Meals, Nathan emphasized the importance of patience and hands-on involvement. From chopping onions in the kitchen to hitting up 500 potential customers daily through social media and gyms, his hustle was relentless.
Leveraging the power of the internet, Nathan expanded FlexPro Meals beyond his Kansas City headquarters, targeting major markets like California and Texas. His ability to cater to a nationwide audience at competitive prices—thanks to lower overhead—set FlexPro apart from its local competitors.
Why FlexPro Meals Works
For Nathan, FlexPro Meals isn’t just about weight loss; it’s about convenience and lifestyle. He wanted to create a product that busy professionals could rely on weekly. From healthy spins on comfort food like biscuits and gravy to diverse cuisines like taco bowls and Asian dishes, FlexPro Meals proves that eating well doesn’t have to be boring or complicated.
Nathan’s commitment to customer feedback also played a pivotal role. By listening to what his clients wanted, he was able to fine-tune recipes and ensure customer loyalty—a strategy he believes every entrepreneur should adopt.
Key Takeaways for Entrepreneurs
Nathan’s story is filled with valuable insights for anyone on an entrepreneurial journey:
- Start Small, Hustle Big: Dedicate time and effort before spending heavily on untested strategies.
- Listen to Customers: They’re the ultimate deciders of your product’s success.
- Be Patient: Success takes time. Even giants like Amazon started small.
