I’m now back from NYC two days, enough time for my mind and my body to show up in the same place. And what are the two of them doing?
Well, they’re missing all the people in New York who comprise the fredflare.com family. My mind and my body had a wonderful work experience at the world headquarters/warehouse in Brooklyn that is home to my son, Keith, and his partner, Chris’s, online retail business, fredflare.com. To learn more about their company, visit the website by the same name.
What struck me most about my visit to their facility was the culture Keith and Chris are creating. It’s about selling products; it has to be or the bills wouldn’t get paid. But it’s also about hiring a group of incredibly talented people who work hard and have fun at the same time. It’s about nurturing them as individuals too. I’m proud, not only of Keith and Chris, but also of every single employee I met last week. They are all amazing.
I read somewhere recently that the two founders of Google® are each worth billions of dollars. fredflare.com isn’t a tech company, so its stock – when that IPO comes — will probably never exceed the Googles of the world. At the same time, it’s heartwarming to watch approximately twenty people – owners and workers alike — pull together to make fredflare.com grow.
I’m honored to be involved.
