I’m honored to have as our guest this week, Mr. Michael Feuer, founder of OfficeMax.
Mr. Feuer founded OfficeMax in 1988 with one store and $20,000 of his own money. The original plan called for 100 stores and instead, grew to 1,000 stores on three continents with over $5 billion in revenue.
OfficeMax was later sold to Boise Cascade Corp. for over $1.5 billion.
Mr. Feuer then launched another start-up, Max-Ventures, a venture capital firm that invests in retail-oriented businesses. You can read his regular column in Smart Business Magazine on on their Web site at: www.sbnonline.com.
I think you’ll find Mr. Feuer’s story fascinating and very inspiring. I know I could have talked with him for hours. His experience and depth of knowledge as an entrepreneur are extremely rare. I’m very appreciative that he took the time to speak to me.
I know I walked away from this conversation with some really great ideas that I plan to incorporate into my approach to business.
I hope you enjoy listening to our discussion.
