About the show

One industry. Two brothers. Three companies. Accessa is a family of businesses within a family business. It started with industrial coatings, moved into chemical solutions, and expanded to equipment sales. Based in Indianapolis, Joe Todd, President and Principal, and Vince Todd, Jr., Vice President and Principal, have worked side-by-side at Accessa for almost 15 years. The Industrious Podcast is a way for them to share their views on the company and the industry from a small business perspective, from a family business perspective, and from a brotherly perspective. From customers and employees to vendors and partners, it’s an opportunity to teach, listen, and learn. Conversations about products, trends, do’s and don’ts – mixed with some humor and brotherly moments – the Todds and their guests educate the marketplace, sharing nuggets of wisdom to improve your product and your bottom line. With commonality and personality, The Industrious Podcast shines a light on an industry lacking glamour. It’s not sexy – but it is a little dirty. Manufacturing is the backbone of America. Indiana is the Crossroads of America. Accessa serves both – and beyond. For insights from two clean-cut guys who don’t mind doing the dirty work, tune into The Industrious Podcast. Join the conversation. Join the fun. Join the family. Listen, subscribe, and enable notifications. beindustrious
