Jim Dixon is a second-generation owner of Valpak here in Central Ohio. In 1972, when his father first purchased the company, Valpak was mailed to 40,000 homes, and it’s now grown to a monthly mailed envelope to over 540,000 a month - And that’s just the mailer. They have added many more services to compliment it in the near 20 years he’s run the company and Valpak of Central Ohio has consistently been in the top 5 in production across the entire network.  

We also talk about how Jim got his start in both entrepreneurship and with Valpak - operating one of the "least desirable" territories in the company's network, yet still finding a way to turn that into a successful launching point for his career. We talk about navigating a business through unprecedented crises like the Great Recession of '08-'09 as well as the current Coronavirus pandemic. 

So much to learn from Jim in this episode... So let's get started!
