Tyler Racca’s sales career started the way a lot of great ones do — with a stack of business cards and instructions to go find some business. That hustle eventually led him to The Orchard, a business that began inside an Apple products forum and has since grown into multiple locations across Acadiana and beyond, with Tyler now at the helm as owner and CEO.
In this episode, Tyler also talks about Nexus Consulting Solutions, where he helps business owners build the systems and find the right people to free themselves up to do what they do best. It’s a great listen for anyone building something of their own.
