November 26, 2024 E110: With A Start Selling Butter & Eggs To A $21B Annual Revenue, 127 Yrs. Of Success & 5 Generations!
It is said that one of the keys to their success stems from a 'letter of wishes' passed down from generation to generation. This reflects the core values and desires of
the family for the family and the business. This letter was started in 1960's, was updated in 1980s, and now each
successive generation affirms and writes their response to the 'letter of wishes'. Actually, affirming the covenant
from one generation to the next is a biblical model.
