Ron Solsrud: Faith, Community & Working In the Business

Ron Solsrud has been a Petland franchisee for 20 years — and in this Power of 27 follow-up, Brad Parker finds out what actually drives him. Ron's reason why runs deep: his Christian faith, a mission to solve the puppy mill problem from the inside out, and a lifelong commitment to hiring and empowering people with special needs. He shares how he went from Franklin Covey planners to Google Tasks, why he keeps a "Wendy's list" as his number one daily priority, and what happened when he finally started acting on his wife's advice immediately instead of just listening. A Sunday night bed meeting turned into a 4am flight back to his store — and Ron explains why getting back into the business right now is his single biggest goal. Pull up a chair.
