Have you ever woken up from a dream and immediately thought, “I gotta write this down!” 

Chris Wysong went through the same thing. His dream, Bucket of Bread, was to have high-quality ingredients to make homemade bread, easily accessible and able to buy from the internet. Through Chris’ hard work, his dream made its way into a real business! 

Listen in to hear Chris tell us what it’s like to run a Veteran-owned business and the benefits that come with it.

About Chris Wysong:

Chris Wysong is a career Army Veteran. He is also the owner and founder of Bucket of Bread LLC in La Crosse, Wisconsin.

Chris has an immense passion for baking and a thirst for sharing these methods with the world. 

Because of his baking experiences and his genuine love for being in the kitchen, an idea started to form in the back of his mind without him knowing. And one night at 3 a.m. Bucket of Bread was born. His dream vividly portrayed putting all his baking experiences and delicious creations into a bucket to help people. This concept then made its way to a sticky note and was pushed to the top of a to-do list.

This was unlike anything previously done in the thousands of years of baking dough into bread. The University of Wisconsin, School of Business, conducted MBA-level market research only to discover what was once old is now new with Bucket of Bread’s repackaged twist on baking with doughs! This was the sign that it was indeed time to introduce something new to the American market

Artificial intelligence has already made its way into major industries and is quickly making its way into the digital marketing landscape. Should you be concerned if you are a digital marketing agency owner? Do you think AI will contribute to the success of your business, or is it something that will eventually wipe out small businesses, yours included? When you don’t fully understand something, you tend to fear it. But what is the truth about AI? 

“The key to a successful business, no matter what industry you’re in, is your ability to execute on a plan or the information that you’ve been given whether you’re making widgets or you’re a lawyer”
