Business Turned Out Pretty Sweet - Michael Flore, Owner of VIllage Bake Shoppe

Mike took a chance at 25 and purchased an existing business that was headed for closure. Taking an old gem of the past and making it something that could employ over 25 people and become a destination in the community is his favorite part of the journey. With a lot of prayer and faith, Mike says "I know God has gotten us through every storm and season. If it wasn't for Him, I would be nowhere. My staff is incredible. They have impacted this place more than I could ever dream. Our customers are the greatest in the world. They really showed us how much they care during this last year. "  Here we talk about how he purchased the business and got into it randomly with no experience in business or banking. We walked through: how he has thrived in a small town in the pandemic, how to avoid burn out and how to manage over 20 employees with different personalities etc.. We believe you'll love this podcast episode after listening to Mike. His energy and positivity are infectious.
