This is the first episode in the We Blowing Up Podcast series, where you'll be introduced to a close nit family trying to figure out how to grow a family business. The challenge they face is how to grow their nearly 30 year old business from 10 million dollars in annual sales, to 100 million.
Follow these guys as they do what they do best which is winging it in business decision making. Not always the best path forward but as you'll find out, old habits are hard to break as they discover the choices they made that were good, and those that flopped.
There will be ups, and you can be sure there will be downs as these guys try to figure out how to blow up their small family business. Anyone who runs a business understands the challenges that business owners face. The correct path forward isn't always obvious, and it requires taking risks, and the results can be unpredictable.
So learn from the mistakes you'll see in this series, and benefit from those decisions that were solid. Either way, you should find We Blowin Up to be informative, insightful, entertaining, and more.

With so many things covered, it's no wonder why this episode runs well over an hour. But staying true to form, from start to finish, it's a typical fly by the seat of your pants approach to podcasting, that's unscripted with topics and discussion that evolves naturally. No track to run on, and no scripts. What you get is spontaneous and real.
