In this episode, I'm joined by my friend and serial entrepreneur Mitch Felderhoff. Mitch shares his journey from growing up in the small town of Munster, Texas, to taking over his family’s livestock feed business, transforming it into a successful pet food company, and eventually selling it to private equity. Mitch walks us through the highs, the challenges, and what it’s like to pivot from pet food to his newest venture—the dumpster business. It’s a story about adaptability, determination, grit, and what it really takes to evolve as an entrepreneur. Stay Gritty!
