Is a hero born a hero…or do they become one along the way?

Or, maybe it’s a bit of both. That if you look closely enough, you’ll see that there were hints of what they would become present in them all along. 

At least, that’s the case for Mike Kaeding, Ed’s son.

Whether it was creating video games or making movies with special effects, he was the kind of person you couldn’t help but follow, even if you knew nothing about the project. Those close to him would say it was their belief in Mike that made them want to be a part of the project, not the other way around.

But Mike’s leadership wasn’t gifted overnight. It was discovered and refined through college and high school as Ed gave Mike more ownership in the business.

On this episode of Zero to Unicorn, we explore the power of belief and the impact of choices, and we get to know the next generation of Kaedings. You’ll hear how Mike met his wife, Alyssa, how he unwittingly cut his teeth as a leader (thanks to some strategic pushing from his father), and how Norhart slowly started to become an organization on its way to a billion-dollar valuation.
