In this edition of our newsletter, we bring you the inspirational journey of Brian and Michael Speciale - the founders of The Comfy. We hope their story will inspire you to dream, innovate, and achieve.

The Birth of an Idea

The Comfy was born during a difficult period of co-founder Michael Speciale's life - his divorce. The idea for a wearable blanket sparked a light in the dark, and he shared it with his brother, Brian. Together, they embarked on a journey that would eventually lead to the creation of The Comfy, now known worldwide.

A Risky Bet on Shark Tank

In 2017, the Speciale brothers made a bold move by presenting their idea on the popular TV show, Shark Tank. Despite the pressure, they secured a deal with investor Barbara Corcoran, choosing her over Robert Herjavec. This partnership was the springboard that launched The Comfy into the global market.

Overcoming Challenges

Despite the initial success, The Comfy faced several significant hurdles. They grappled with financial difficulties, supply chain issues, and leadership tensions, which nearly led to the company's collapse. The Speciale brothers, however, were not deterred.

Turning Mistakes into Opportunities

Brian and Michael Speciale proved their mettle by owning up to both their mistakes and successes. Brian, in particular, shared how he turned disgruntled customers into ardent brand supporters. These experiences have shaped The Comfy into the successful company it is today.
