Strong Roots & Strong Branches—The Power Of Diversification

Michael Spraggins, CEO of Spraggins, Inc., is a great admirer of the Southern Live Oak tree. According to Michael, the roots of the Southern Live Oak are wide and deep, and when you prune its branches the tree gets stronger. For Michael this tree is the ideal metaphor for his Florida based construction supply business.

In this Tugboat Institute® podcast, Michael shares how he built a diversified, global company through the hard-earned life lessons that only failure can produce. Over time and by strategically “pruning” his vision of expansion, Michael grew a thriving family owned company that allowed him to nurture some other branches in his life—being a dad to his daughters and a developing the nonprofit African healthcare organization, LifeNet International.

Listen and be inspired by this Evergreen® story of professional and personal growth.
