Join us as Michael J. Coles shares some amazing insights about his journey building Great American Cookies and many of his other endeavors! Be ready to grab a copy of his book, Time to Get Tough!
Michael is focused in many areas:
After a successful 19-year career in the clothing business, Michael Coles co-founded Great American Cookie Company in 1977 with an investment of only $8,000. Shortly after starting the company, he was involved in a near-fatal motorcycle accident. He was told by doctors he would never walk again unaided. As Coles recovered through a self-designed rehabilitation program, he took the company from its first store in Perimeter Mall in Atlanta to hundreds of stores nationwide. At the same time, he set three coast-to-coast bicycling records.
