My guest is Marc Schewel, whose family name is well-known in Lynchburg and other small to mid-markets across Virginia, North Carolina, and West Virginia, thanks to Schewel’s Home Furniture and its 50+ locations.This family business was founded in 1897, making it one of the oldest furniture retailers in the United States. It is currently owned and operated by Marc and his brother Jack, 4th generation Schewels, along with Marc’s son Matt, the 5th generation.The history of the Schewel family business has been well-documented locally, but that’s not why Marc was suggested as a guest for this show. Jill, a mutual friend and fan of the podcast, is well-connected in Lynchburg and felt that it was actually Marc’s story about his philanthropy and service to the community that was inspiring and worth highlighting. I could not agree more…And that’s why the bulk of this conversation focuses on the power of contributing to others with whatever means you can. Because you not only give, but you also receive, and in wonderful, unexpected ways.Enjoy the show!Schewels Home Funiture WebsiteSchewels Home Furniture on InstagramSchewels Home Furniture on FacebookBook Marc Mentions, "The Short and Tragic Life of Robert Peace: A Brilliant Young Who Left Newark for the Ivy League"---------------❤️ If you believe inspiring stories like this can empower others to create meaningful lives and impact the world, join the Small Town Secret Sauce Patreon Community and become an ambassador for possibility.😊 Thanks for listening!
