In this episode of the Mixing Family and Business podcast, I, alongside Shirley, Tom, and Kim, take you behind the scenes—sharing REAL stories from our journey growing and sustaining family businesses.
Hear candid memories: how our families marked Labor Day (or didn’t!), with everything from small-town celebrations in McCausland, Iowa to quiet days spent prepping for back-to-school.
Then, buckle up as we dive into some of the toughest business challenges we’ve weathered: the ‘80s interest rate spikes, the 2008 financial crisis, and the wild ride of COVID-19. We reveal the mindset shifts, vendor negotiations, and tough decisions that kept us afloat and thriving—plus some clever, old-school tricks when cash flow got tight.
Learn how communication, adaptability, and creative problem-solving can help you steer your business through uncertainty—no matter how big the obstacles.
Tune in for real talk, some good laughs, and practical advice on bridging generations in your business and family.
