This episode of 'Celebrating Small Family Businesses' features an interview with Kuder Consulting Group co-founder John Kuder, focusing on his family's business origin story, particularly his grandfather's journey.
Starting from a farming background in central Ohio, John's grandfather attended Michigan State and worked his way through college. He built a real estate career in Long Beach, California, starting from an inherited property.
This entrepreneurial spirit later led him to observe the potential of turning the waste product of orange peels from the citrus industry into a valuable byproduct, ultimately pioneering in the citrus industry in Florida by building a plant to process and sell dried peel as cow food.
The narrative covers the transition from manufacturing to sales and the eventual contraction of the business, showcasing the innovation and adaptation across generations.
