Culture For Breakfast episodes

  • Pivot Points

    Stephanie Stuckey joins me on the podcast this week to discuss her family's legacy, Stuckey's Corporation. If you have been on a road trip in the Southeast, as I did so many times growing up, you probably stopped at one of her grandad's Stuckey's gas stations.

    Stephanie has now bought the corporation, pivoted away from the physical locations her family established, and is seeing the organization be revitalized. Pivot points are vital to the success of a company, but they can be terrifying to undertake.

    Listen to the insight Stephanie brings from her experience and her grandfathers in this episode of Culture for Breakfast!
