Together they have taken risks in business and in life and supported each other every step of the way.

Chad is a founding partner in Southwest Eye Care and former City Council member for the city of Chaska, MN. Together they are part owners of Heggies frozen pizza located in Milaca, MN.

Kristi is the owner of Hidden Treasure Soaps, a business she built out of a hobby and is continuing to grow. Listening to how she started and built her business is inspiring for anyone considering a small start-up.

We hope you enjoy our conversation with them as much as we did! You will find pieces of wisdom and inspiration to help you take your next step towards something you may be considering.
