Beyond Print: A Blueprint for Diversification and Growth | Next Week's Life | Episode 9
On this episode of The Stramaglio Show, Mike sits down with Brad Knepper, President of All Copy Products, for a candid and inspiring conversation about leadership, loyalty, and risk-taking. From humble beginnings in Iowa to building one of the industry’s top independent dealerships, Brad shares how a $500,000 loan at 43% interest launched a 26-year journey that now drives over $140M in revenue.Brad opens up about the power of long-term relationships, surrounding himself with trusted colleagues, and maintaining aggressive growth through diversification—expanding into IT, VoIP, security, apparel, and even AI. He discusses evolving compensation strategies, the critical mindset shift from print to services, and why he still loves this business just as much as he did on day one. Honest, self-aware, and driven, Brad’s message to the industry is clear: stay positive, embrace change, and lead boldly.
