Growing Up in a Stone Fabrication Shop
About this episode
Two young adults discuss their experiences growing up in a stone fabrication family business and the insights shared by their fathers.
What’s it like to grow up in a family business — and then choose to follow in your parents’ footsteps? Two young adults reflect on how early exposure to their families’ fabrication businesses shaped their career paths. Moreover, their fathers, Ron Hannah and Buddy Ontra, share insights on building successful companies, the expectations they held for their children — Stephanie and Joey — and the advice they offer to their children as they set out on their own path in the evolving stone industry.
