222 | From Corn Fields to the Corner Office with Dave and Tim Abbott
We're talking country music, career paths, and most importantly, courage, character, and the common bond of two brothers from Cabot, Vermont, here on the Uplevel Dairy Podcast.
Tim Abbott is back, and he’s brought his big brother David Abbott onto the show.
We get to hear David’s story, from graduating in the top third of his high school class of 10, to his 25-year career with Purina Mills, where he eventually became CEO, before stepping out of ag to grow and consult across other industries.
Through the brotherly banter, you will hear a story of pursuing your dreams, perseverance and staying true to your path and your purpose.
