More on Isstories:

Along with her sister, Sarah Groveau, Behrendt is a second-generation owner of the small family business in Carol Stream, IL, just west of Chicago. Since its founding in 1989, Advantage Trailer specializes in pull-behind trailer sales, custom trailer fabrication and sales, exceptional trailer service and maintenance, and trailer parts and accessory sales.

Finding Reverie: An Entrepreneur’s Journey takes listeners behind the scenes with small and mid-sized business owners who open up about the real highs and lows of their entrepreneurial journey. From challenges that tested them to the lessons that shaped them, each story is filled with insights you can take back to your own business.

From the show notes:

“Advantage Trailer began 36 years ago when the first-generation owner gathered his family and asked one big question: What business should we build together? Today, the second generation, his two daughters, proudly carry that legacy forward.

“Now, decisions are made by a team of four, guided intentionally by the company’s core values as they expand, innovate, and shape the future. And in their office hangs a powerful symbol: their father’s steering wheel from his boat. Fresh paint may be on the walls, but the steering wheel grounds them – reminding everyone where the journey began and connecting two generations of leadership.

“Tune in to hear their inspiring story of legacy, values, and growth.”
