In this episode, we speak with Frank Violi about his journey from IU Bloomington to his prestige role as CEO of Butterfield Foods. He talks about the doors he worked so hard to open and the opportunities that were behind those doors. He also speaks about not getting stuck in one position, as you may be limiting yourself to your full potential.
Frank Violi is a CEO, where his job is to manage, run, and oversee his business and to ensure all operations are performing at the highest quality possible.
Before his business Frank had a numerous number of experiences that played a role in getting him where he is today. This included being a regional manager at Boise Cascade, VP at the Graphics Art Center, etc. Throughout these experiences Frank mentions that each experience played a huge role in molding him and giving him the necessary traits to run his company today. Frank took a company that had all the right ideas, tools, but not leaders, and turned it around. Frank emphasized how important it is to not feel like you are stuck in any job or opportunity. Satisfaction is the leading cause of people not reaching their full potential. He advises you to never be satisfied with where you are now, always try to achieve more, go above and beyond, work harder, and you will reach your full potential.
Frank currently resides in Zionsville, IN where he is running a successful business, Butterfield Foods, but still seeks ways to better his company and better himself.
