Darian Khosravi is the founder of Kosmo’s Q, a BBQ company that makes award-winning BBQ rubs and sauces. Khosravi founded Kosmo’s Q in 2009 with just $500. Today Kosmo’s Q has 170K customers worldwide, a 5x BBQ champion winner, and is a beloved BBQ brand. But Khosravi’s journey wasn’t easy. After being severely burned at 17 months old, he spent most of his childhood in the burn ward of Shriners Hospital. School also wasn’t his thing. Rather than finishing high school and going to college, Khosravi dropped out and joined the real world. He discovered a passion for cooking and turned this passion into a world-renowned brand: Kosmo’s Q.
In this episode of DTC Pod, we cover a lot like the best way to cook a steak, why serving up ads to customers is pointless, the idea of finding a calling, and more. For the students tuning in, Khosravi also talks about his personal experience and why you should never let grades or your past define you. This is an episode you don’t want to miss.
