Welcome to Wisconsin! Ben McDougal was visiting UW Stevens Point to deliver You Don't Need This Keynote at the 2024 Think Like an Entrepreneur event. As part of this wonderful whirlwind, he jumped into a local recording studio with two local leaders at different stages in life.
Evan Stanislawski is a recent graduate of UWSP, while Matt Vollmer did the same 10 years ago. After a traditional start to his career, Matt is now an adjunct professor and the CEO of Arbré Technologies, which enables data to help horticulture industry track the lifecycle of plants. Evan is making a ruckus in vintage clothing, while also turning a wrench in the family plumbing business, which may lead to business succession opportunities.
Together, we chat about building on the timeline of now, while staying patient to make better business decisions. We also jam on real skills, diversified career portfolios, activating digital depth, and how the non-linear path toward success often includes creative combinations of achievement and lasting fulfillment.
