What America Can Learn From Ohio’s Amish Country: John Miller
Manage episode 489354534 series 2908586
John Miller is the CEO of Superb Industries. He resisted mounting pressure to move his production overseas to China, and instead innovated and grew a thriving made-in-America component manufacturing business.
“Do you make decisions based on the long-term benefit that are principle-based, or do you make decisions for financial gain in the short term, at the cost of the long term?” he asks, rhetorically. “[Other businesses] made a lot of money by outsourcing to China over a short period of time, but then lost their ability to make stuff, and now they’re paying the price.”
Miller has close ties to Ohio’s entrepreneurial Amish community and is an advocate for what he calls “food freedom.”
“We joined forces and started what we call the Food Independence Summit that basically brings specialists together to teach people how they can become self-sustaining on food, even if it’s only on a fractional basis,” says Miller. “To change culture, you have to change the structure.”
