Inc. magazine launches video series with “The Profit” host

Inc. magazine and Marcus Lemonis, host of CNBC’s show “The Profit,” have launched a video series that will continue through the end of the year.

In each weekly episode of “Ask Marcus Lemonis,” the entrepreneur and turnaround expert meets an entrepreneur for the first time. Lemonis learns the nuts-and-bolts of what the company makes or provides and then gives the entrepreneur the opportunity to pose a question about his or her biggest business challenge..

Before each three-and-a-half minute episode ends, Lemonis answers the entrepreneur’s question or offers a resolution based on his years of advice growing and investing in businesses.

In the initial “Ask Marcus Lemonis” episodes, Lemonis meets a Colorado restauranteur and a Brooklyn bike shop owner, among others.

Recent series taping were done in New York and at Inc.’s annual GROWCO Conference in Nashville.
