A cookie company owned by a 13-year-old entrepreneur and his mother faces serious growing pains. Cory’s mother struggles to trust anyone and is resistant to change. If Marcus Lemonis can’t get this young CEO up to speed and earn his mother’s trust, this cookie company will crumble.

[@melonmint5683]

Lisa puts on that super tough exterior with the idea that that is what others expect from her because of her background. Yet, she has managed to get her son and company worldwide exposure, licensing deals, etc. Even Marcus mentioned the fact of them having their financial spreadsheets in order as something he rarely sees. She is much smarter than she gives herself credit for and I hope her confidence will build in time. I think she is amazing and wish her and Mr Cory's Cookies great success.

The Mom may be rough around the edges but if she was truly "ghetto" like some people are saying, she wouldn't have made anything of herself and she certainly wouldn't have raised her son so well. Cory is a reflection of who she truly is, a Winner.

BEST COMMENT!

[@the9file]

Marcus made an unusually generous offer in this episode because he believed in Lisa and Corey. Lisa sold herself short, they got a lot of things right. Their operation had a few issues, but its refreshing seeing this level of competance, preparedness, and professionalism on The Profit. I got tired of warching this show after several episodes of what felt like adult children misbehaving. Here we saw an actual child outperforming numerous business owners featured in previous episodes.

[@justme.53]

This is my first time seeing this show... I'm about to binge watch 😊

[@tj.espygil4544]

Wow, the9file. You raised a good point. After watching last season's Gray Block Pizza episode and the Soup Restaurant episode where there were genuine idiots running their companies it certainly was great to see a family with a small growing business who have good attitudes and product integrity.

[@johnwebster5740]

I used to feel the same way until I got into entrepreneurship and was listening to what Marcus said to do rather than the people he was helping. He explains various industries so well ,tells people what margins should be ,how to get there you name it. Wow! I am doing well now and people told me how did you get there so fast. I said watching stuff like the profit. He tells you what to do.

[@billion86]

God darn it...these tears man...I want to just say I love everything about this story Mr Cory has the coolest style, hair, and personality ...his mom is a fighter...she was dealt a bad hand...but guess what she didn’t fold...she raised a brilliant young man and I hope with all my heart that she realizes just how worthy she is...as to Marcus it was so touching when he told her that he’s not giving up on her...

[@callmecarmella]

I absolutely love the mom. She is incredible. I want her to be more confident in herself. She is one special lady who deserves all the best things in life.

[@Aoudhubillahi]

Much respect to Marcus Lemonis for standing up for her on the licensing. The "then, have at it" was a signal that he would have brought forward a legal team that would have been very tough for them (highly likely those 2 men would not win in court) based on how obtuse the license contract was. Those guys look really bad doing that to a relatively poor single mom...really bad.

[@walexia]

yeah they need to be ashamed of themselves,taking advantage of a single mom and her 13 yr old son

[@fayezentner619]

Marcus put that guy on blast

[@dianariley1067]

Marcus was so savvy on that totally unfair deal. And yet he is so kind. 💛He didn't make them look bad at all. Unbelievable 🤦🏾‍♀️smh. I really love and appreciate him. For making the world a better place. I deal or biz at a time.😊👍🏽💛

I’m only 15 min in and I’m sobbing. This reminds me so much of me and my son. I’ve been building my baking business for the last 4 years and he has so much faith and positivity and I’m afraid of everything falling apart. Kids are amazing. Being a single mama is effing HARD. Even their apartment looks like my old place. I’m in the process of trying to get funding for my bakery to grow and I don’t feel worthy of it and so scared of failing because nothing else (except my amazing kid) has ever fully worked out for me. ❤️❤️❤️❤️😭😭😭😭

[@mannytomblesky1440]

He has his office number in all of his RV locations and it actually is his office number. Customer service is number one with him and as I watch these shows I see that he has a heart for helping others. Yes he makes money but he is fair about what he brings to the table. I would never hesitate to make a deal with Mr. Marcus.
