Eric Cominski Jr. is a successful entrepreneur with over a decade of experience in branding and a passion for sharing his knowledge.
Eric’s journey is all about building a unique brand, telling a unique story. He believes everyone has that potential, and his work is dedicated to helping others unlock it.
From launching his own clothing line to authoring insightful books, Eric has a wealth of experience to draw on.
Recently I had the pleasure of interviewing Eric Cominski Jr. and we talked about his latest book, The Future of Food Manufacturing, a guide for industry professionals looking to navigate the complexities of the ever-evolving landscape of food manufacturing.
“Growing up I always dreamed big. Starting out, I really looked at what I wanted in life. As an entrepreneur that itself was what I wanted. At the time not knowing what an “entrepreneur” was I was focused on how to I create my brand. Thinking of a brand is basically that, a brand is something that makes you stand out from the rest. I think everyone is “a brand” and by that, I mean everyone has a unique story to tell. It doesn’t matter how you tell it what matters is that you tell it. Having 10 + years of experience working with branding I am always looking to take things to the next level. “
