Manage episode 402803448 series 3554537
In this episode, we switch gears from interviewing another family business owner to exploring our own history and how we got to Kuder Consulting Group.
We delve into a unique and nostalgic understanding of small family businesses through the eyes of Connie Kuder, co-founder of Kuder Consulting Group. She has rich stories of growing up in Ohio around farm life and family businesses.
The conversation takes a trip back in time, discussing her family's significant historical agricultural roots, including the evolution of her family's farms, the sense of community, working collaboratively, and living in a more simple era.
She shares further aspects of bartering, life before modern technologies, and the challenges and dependencies that came with working in the family business.
