Welcome to the podcast, Inc.'s Founders Project With Alexa Von Tobel, where we bring you stories of the entrepreneurs building the future. Listen to tales of inspiration, drive, and pure guts that define the people and companies at the forefront of technology. Each week we dig into a founder's professional playbook--and uncover what makes them tick. On this week's episode:
In 1976, Jim McCann was working in a group home for boys and bartending on the side. A customer at the bar tipped him off to an opportunity to buy a flower shop for $10,000. McCann took the leap and turned that single flower shop on Manhattan's East Side into a billion-dollar, omni-channel retailer. He grew store by store, on a franchise model, eventually expanding into new gifting categories, like The Popcorn Factory and Harry & David. Through it all, McCann had a knack for adopting new technologies ahead of other retailers. He shares where the company's iconic name comes from, how he positioned the company to become the first merchant of any kind on AOL, and why he believes the best way to solve a problem is with a pen and a pad of paper.
