THE MOMENT THE FAMILY BUSINESS FINALLY MADE SENSE. #podcast #familybusiness #youtubeshorts

Paloma, I'm curious, as you described that, I'm wondering if there's a moment in your youth when that business became more— you saw the mission. Was there a handful of moments or things that occurred in your life where you're like, wow, this is actually a bigger deal than just a business?

We had— there were big projects along the way that made me realize the impact that we were having in the local community. But I must say that it wasn't— I was still professionally too disengaged from understanding that I could actually be happy in the day-to-day in this business. It wasn't until I transitioned from design into working with a general contractor back in DC that I saw myself as this middle person in handling all these moving parts that I was like, oh my God, this is what Palladius does. We are the middle person that connects the first responders in need with top-of-the-line manufacturers in the States. And so this is what, you know, what I've been training for and what I've been trained on isn't so different to what we do. So how— why not apply that? into the business that my family does, and it's so powerful to what we do with the, with the community.
