How does one business last through generations of sons, thriving and growing with each one? The amount of work it takes is incredible, but the rewards far outweigh the struggle.
Chad Felderhoff is the co-owner of Muenster Milling Co. alongside his brother Mitch, and the two of them stand as the fourth generation of Felderhoffs to run the company. Chad's devotion to constant challenge, integrity and self-improvement is evident in every corner of his life, from the business to his own family and beyond.
On this episode of the Step It Up Entrepreneur podcast, Tomas and Chad jam on how Chad went from slinging feed sacks in the summers to running the family business, why isolating high-leverage activities for yourself and delegating the other stuff is such a game-changer, and having the discipline to keep moving through whatever the world (and your own children) might throw at you. Listen in for an interview full of the fundamentals every entrepreneur and business owner should be studying.
What You’ll Learn:
- How Chad and his brother skirted difficult supply-chain logistics and forged ahead with products made by their own two hands
- What Chad's parents' management style and his experience in a corporate structure taught him about maximizing his resources and letting go of his ego
- Why the learning curve you're navigating in your business is not only normal, it's actually to your advantage down the road
- And much more!

"It's a straight discipline thing. Jocko says it best with 'Discipline equals freedom.' And it took a while for that to click for me. But yeah, once you kind of realize that, getting up every morning sucks when you first do it, but then, man, that's how I add hours to my day."
