On today’s SBAM Weekly Podcast, Michael Rogers talks with Jon Tellier, president of JetCoSolutions, the Michigan Celebrates Small Business Veteran-Owned Small Business of the Year for 2023. “I think [being a paratrooper] teaches you to be flexible, and flexible in a couple of ways, because you exit that perfectly good airplane with a good tight body position and the wind takes you and pushes you to a location that you didn't necessarily plan on,” he says. “I think sometimes business does that, too. You get pushed into a predicament or a place where you have to figure a way to overcome it and to get around that obstacle.”
The Small Business Association of Michigan is the only statewide and state-based association that focuses solely on serving the needs of Michigan’s small business community.
