This week, I want to do something different while you read this week’s guest introduction. Take a moment to imagine your childhood self playing in your yard or with friends down the street. You may remember riding down the road in your nice, new, red Radio Flyer Wagon. This week’s guest is facilitating this generation's wagon memories as the Chief Wagon Officer at Radio Flyer. Speaking of generations, this week’s guest’s grandfather was the founder of this iconic brand. When not on his wagon, he can be seen running in marathons, playing with his children, or winning Emmy awards for his animated short film, Taking Flight. As he transports us to some of the best parts of childhood, this week’s guest is Chief Wagon Officer, Robert Pasin. Robert attended the University of Notre Dame prior to earning his MBA at Northwestern a few years later. Robert’s grandfather founded Radio Flyer in 1917. In 1992, Robert joined the company when iot wasn’t growing or profitable. Robert quickly found numerous reasons as to why, including no hiring process/HR function until 2004. The major change was that Robert shifted the focus from manufacturing to product development, and did a significant amount of “Feet On The Ground” research that was focusing on seeing how customers were using their products in the field. In 2015, Robert and Radio Flyer topped $100 Million in sales, all came with the mentality of: “Radio Flyer can be whatever you imagine it to be and it can take you anywhere you want to go.” Please enjoy this week’s episode with Robert Pasin.
