I spent some time with Randy Lewis, an expert in the thermosetting plastics molding and resins manufacturing industry. The proud owner of P.R. Lewis Consulting shared his insights on his business and its industry.
Where did the passion to devote yourself to this industry come from?
Statesville Record & Landmark feature on Sam Dobson’s Grass-fed Beef Operation.
Thank you very much for agreeing to this interview today. Could you please tell us about yourself?
Sure. Sam Dobson from the northern part of Iredell County. I think I’m the tenth generation on this dairy and now, grass-fed beef farm. We’ve been in the dairy business since 1939, and before that we farmed the traditional cotton and tobacco, and maybe some small grains since the late 1700’s. We have transitioned over the last few years after looking at organic dairying, and transitioning with that process as well as starting a grass-fed beef part of the operation in 2006. We’re moving forward with that. I’m married – I have a wife Sherry, and one son Chase, who’s five; so there’s another generation coming along! And we just kind of hang out here on the farm and try to make things go.
The following is an interview I conducted with Paul Noakes. Paul has decades of experience owning automotive repair shops. He took a leap early in life to become his own boss and never looked back. Paul transformed his interest and hobby into a livelihood. Furthermore, he can truly be called a Jack of all trades because not only is he an expert with vehicles, but he has extensive knowledge of electrical work, plumbing, and landscaping.
When did you first become interested in cars?
Hello, my name is Kirk Lawton and I run the Save-A-Lot grocery store in Statesville, NC.
Thank you for taking the time out of your day to talk to me about your trials and successes as an entrepreneur.
No problem.
