E27: On today's episode of the Cashing Out podcast we have a good friend and entrepreneur, John Latella. John is the former owner and CEO of the family-owned iconic food brand Garden Fresh Gourmet, which John and his partners sold to The Campbell Soup Company in 2015 for $231 million.

John and Todd talk about how he acquired Basha Hummus and El Matador Tortilla Co. to help grow his business to more than $100 Million in sales.

And finally, we discuss what drove John and some new business partners to try to buy the business back just a few years later.
