Steve Scheer is the President of Brondell, which is a health and wellness company that specializes in manufacturing the infamous bidet. In this episode, Andrew and Jeremy pick Steve’s mind about his career journey, how he manages people and company culture, and how Steve focuses on delivering a product that makes a difference.
Steve graduated from Northeastern University with a degree in Finance in the year 1995. Immediately after graduation, Steve decided to go into business with his brother, and opened a restaurant. After two years of owning and operating a restaurant seven days a week, Steve realized that doing business with a family member was not the easiest. He sold out of the restaurant for two times the amount he had paid for it and decided to use his Finance degree to start Lead Traders, Inc. A few years later, Steve stumbled upon an opportunity with a company called Craigslist where he became only the third employee at the time. At Craigslist, Steve was able to help the company grow tremendously as they began to offer their service within many new cities, add more employees, and generate more site traffic. Steve used his skills in a couple of Operations jobs at Errigal and EcoTimber before he ended up joining Brondell, where he has been for the past fourteen years.
