The man famous for guaranteeing the way you look, George Zimmer, former CEO of 'Men's Wearhouse,' opens up on this episode of Radiate. He started the company 40 years ago with his college roommate, and grew it to over two and a half billion dollars in sales. Now we’ve talked to plenty of people about their challenges, mistakes, failures. George went through a traumatic experience when he was fired by his board over a disagreement.

Some of the members were his closest friends. George is back with two new companies, a rental tux company called 'Generation Tux', and an on-demand tailoring startup called 'zTailors'. In this conversation, George speaks frankly about what happened at 'Men's Wearhouse' and how he's making his comeback…guaranteed.
