Traditionally in the trades, boys will follow in their father’s footsteps and pick up the family business. This is a timeless tale. Only in modern society has it begun to change where kids run off with their own ideas of what they want to become and accomplish. It’s not so bad overall, but how can we create the next generation of flooring professionals while still giving freedom of choice?
Dennis DiCarlo has built up a strong retail business and is now looking to expand it. Slowly but surely his kids have grown up and he was able to provide for them beyond basic needs included college educations. Life wasn’t always easy for Jackson and Chesney DiCarlo though, as they grew up knowing that if they wanted to make some money, there was always work to be done around the flooring store. They still needed to earn their own way. The store was never forced on them and they were allowed to explore other opportunities to be individuals. Now, after graduating college and experiencing adult life, both have opted to take up a part of the flooring business that their father continues to build beyond just retail sales.
Listen in to this week’s episode of the Floor Academy Podcast to hear how two young people are excited for their futures that they chose, how their upbringing helped them come full circle back to what helped support them, and what we can do to help encourage our own kids towards a path of success within the flooring industry.
