Listen "S5 Ep89: "The Roaring Twenties Return at Stock & Trade" - A Conversation with Michael Carey"
Episode Synopsis
On this episode of VIE Speaks: Conversations with Heart & Soul podcast, host Lisa Marie Burwell, VIE’s CEO/editor-in-chief, spoke with the CEO and founder of Stock & Trade Design Co., Michael Carey.
Lisa and Michael talk about the extraordinary story of Michael launching a furniture business in 2009 during the height of the recession. That eventually led to expanding the business into wholesale, importing, distribution, manufacturing, and more. Stock & Trade has multiple massive showrooms across the Southeast. Michael also pours into a cause that is very personal to him and his family. His youngest son, Harlan, has Down syndrome and, although that comes with its challenges, the Carey family wants Harlan’s dreams to extend far beyond the boundaries society usually places on those with disabilities. They created Harlan’s Place Foundation, where donations and efforts go toward creating living environments and fostering communities in which individuals like Harlan can thrive, make choices, and build connections.
