Reflection ~ Surprise, surprise!  The most significant interview I did overall was with Pete Slaugh. A SUMMARY |  Julie Slack was a close second, overall.  |                          |   Casey Wells was my best interview with a young-agent.   |                                                              |   Allison Whittaker politely declined permission to share.   |                                                                                                 |   Sandy Colins was the least insightful, yet the most fun.   | A DISCUSSION       Pete Slaugh is a true, living-breathing entrepreneur. Like many, after a lifetime in his chosen career, his final feat was to share his wisdom with others. About a week ago, I sat down with him to learn a little more about his experiences. Now I want to discuss the major take-aways from our meeting, and reflect on their meaning to me as a young entrepreneur following in his footsteps. Ill choose my favorite questions to keep this manageable in

A Proposal. First Interview, Grandpa .   The first entrepreneur I would like to interview is very near and dear to me. While he may be a family member of mine, he is someone who I have admired and looked up to my whole life. I call him Grandpa, but everyone else knows him as Paul Herman  Slaugh , Jr…. Or, Pete!  Notice: He does not have any social media. Google search results below ~ He’s owned more businesses than I even know about, but that is one reason I am so excited to interview him. Don’t get me wrong, we have a great relationship; it’s just not every day that I have a good enough reason to be nosey about his business ventures!  He has been an entrepreneur all of his life.  Since May of 2019, when I started selling real estate, I have come to learn that he has touched the lives of  what seems to be  everyone in Lancaster . Whenever I’m speaking with another industry professional, the first question I get is— “Any relation to Pete  Slaugh ?”     T he answer is always yes, but hon
