I run a couple of CEO roundtables so have worked with around 25 people that run non tech companies. What are you looking for more specifically?

One more interesting one is a guy who had a company in china make free samples of 10 types of products. He put them all on amazon forsale and one of them took off so he made more of that one. His net profit is around 300K/year after just one year.

Another one uses prison labor to manufacture electronic components. The recidivism rate among the inmates who go through the program is much lower than the average. Other industries include:

pet products, doggie day care, health insurance, HR consulting, hair salon, convenience store, restaurants etc. Most of them were never in tech, but some were and just wanted something more traditional. For example, the hair salon netted about 50K/year. One wouldnt make a living but 5 or 6 would.
