How Did Mitchell Modell Manage to Achieve a Successful Weight Loss?

Mitchell Modell came into media prominence following his appearance in an episode of the CBS reality series, 'Undercover Boss.'

Mitchell Modell's company is spread over 140 retail locations in the United States, from Washington D.C. to New Hampshire. But the episode of 'Undercover Boss,' on which Mitchell featured in aired initially just days after Hurricane Sandy, which is why much of the northeast where his company operates, was unable to see the show. It got re-aired in 2013. After the show was televised, some large-scale changes in customer service practices in his company came into place. And he also brought changes into persona shifts in the company.
