Tricia Staible raised her hand to join the family business, Robinson Fans, and eventually became its sixth generation President. Tricia joined Laurie Barkman to discuss the importance of diversification for long-term growth, and how a culture of curiosity promotes innovation in a manufacturing environment. 

While the company has grown and expanded with an acquisition, there was a time when its prospects weren’t as bright. This ties well with Tricia’s favorite quote about staying in the ring and moving forward despite the downsides that come your way.
