Wormboy
Sunday, February 6th, 2005
Tom Szaky could have been set for life. The son of two Toronto doctors, he was was sent off to Princeton to get an Ivy League education. But soon this whiz kid went from bookworm to ... worms. He dropped out of university and risked everything to start Terracycle - a company that sells eco-friendly plant food made from - get this - worm poo.
Now, this 22-year-old CEO and his young staff are trying not to lose it all. He has to land a big sales deal, convince investors to keep them afloat, and keep the you-know-what from hitting the fan. Videojournalist James Dunne takes us deep inside the risky and slimy adventures of Tom Szaky - a.k.a. Wormboy.
Contact information will be posted early next week.
