E64: Mark Traeger | Talkin' A Cat Off A Shrimp Boat

Mark Traeger is my guest this week.  No doubt a visit to his bicycle shop is a commitment (I’ve never spent less than 45 minutes in the shop), but to understand this hilarious eclectic fast talker is to get to know a successful business owner who cares deeply about his community.  Mark immigrated from New Jersey to New Hampshire more than twenty years ago and started a small business in a mill town without a mill.  This local bicycle shop owner is independent only in the sense that he’s not beholden to one big brand.  And that becomes evident when you hear him mention, by name, the other businesses and business owners that also call Rochester, NH home.  He shares his experience as a small business owner in a small town and a large industry that has changed a lot in the past two decades.  Guest Provided Links https://www.facebook.com/CthulhuBikes/ https://www.instagram.com/mark_traeger/ http://tricitybicycles.com/
