Listen "Tami Longaberger"
Episode Synopsis
For a generation, a handcrafted Longaberger basket is something of a home decor showpiece.
Dave Longaberger founded the company in 1973, and by 1975 had hired his daughter Tammy to work there. When Dave died in 1999, Tami took over as president and CEO.
In 2001, a book that Dave Longaberger had written was finally published, and Tammy went on tour to promote it. That's when I met her.
At the time, the Longaberger company was at its peak, with thousands of employees making all kinds of home decor products,
They even built a company headquarters building in Ohio that looks like a giant Longaberger Basket.
