An Adventure in Entrepreneurship from Passion to Problem-Solving to Profit: Revisiting Jeff Peterson at Interstate Music

An Adventure in Entrepreneurship from Passion to Problem-Solving to Profit: Revisiting Jeff Peterson at Interstate Music

Author: Jason Bader, Distribution Team July 17, 2024 Duration: 51:09

If entrepreneurs are known for marching to a different beat, then Jeff Peterson is an improvisational maestro. DT fans may remember Jason's conversation with the CEO of Geneva Supply in episode 21, in which the two discussed growing and expanding that company's footprint. And did he ever! Just as that business started to get predictable, Jeff stumbled upon his next entrepreneurial challenge: Interstate Music.

This week, we're revisiting Jeff's second appearance on Distribution Talk: The One Where Jeff Went All In to Turn Around a 75-Year-Old Music Retailer (even though the company languished in bankruptcy and the world paused for a pandemic). He applied his extensive e-com knowledge and a lifelong affinity for live music to a new entrepreneurial challenge and has never once regretted taking on that challenge.
