The first episode of Vermontrepreneur is here! Welcome to the show that celebrates the people who build businesses and non profits in Vermont.
This first show we talk to Sam Brakeley, founder of Hermit Woods Trailbuilders. Sam has been digging in the dirt and stacking rocks ever since he was a kid. He got his first trail job right out of college and he was "bit". After a few years of bouncing around New England working in different outdoor seasonal jobs, Sam showed up in the Upper Valley of Vermont and asked around for trail jobs. None to be found. No problem, Sam just starts his own trail business. 7 years later and he's still at it. Listen to this inspiring interview to hear more about how Sam made the leap of faith to start his own business.
