319 - Gina Manz (River Valley Foods)

Gina Manz is the Executive Vice President of River Valley Foods, and it's only right for such a natural born leader. Gina has a presence about her that is hard to describe. She trusts her team to solve problems, and knows that the key to a good working business relationship (whether it be employer/employee or sales rep/client) is problem solving. It only works if everybody wins. We'll learn about her career, from travel agent, to jewelry, to frozen food, to EVP. Plus, River Valley Foods is often a key distribution partner for emerging and small local/regional brands looking for presence on supermarket shelves like Wegmans, TOPS, Price Chopper, etc..

313 - Martin Parent (Ace Hardware Inlet & Old Forge)

Martin "Marty" Parent knew that if he didn't go into the military, he'd end up getting into "some kind of trouble" back home. So, he did!

Looking for where his life would lead, he took notice of his brother and sister-in-law who were operating a local convenience store and was intrigued by the idea of entrepreneurship.

311 - Brian Bailey (Big League Chew)

The corporate offices of Big League Chew are in Rochester, NY.. who knew?!?! Also, production, the actual manufacturing of the gum, is in Akron, NY.. so you're telling me that Big League Chew is a local company and none of us knew that? As it turns out, as Dr. Brian Bailey will explain, its origins are not local, but it has become a local company recently. We'll hear the nostalgic and iconic origin story of Big League Chew as well as the story of Dr. Brian Bailey and how they two eventually intertwine, landing the iconic chewing gum brand in our own backyard.
