From aerospace engineering to a beloved regional food brand, Penny Shaw shares the story of leading two very different companies with deep roots in rural America. As co-founder of Flying S, an innovative aerospace manufacturer serving commercial, military, and space industries, and owner of J.D. Mullen’s, the iconic salad dressing company, Penny offers a behind-the-scenes look at entrepreneurship, innovation, and community leadership. Learn how both businesses have grown while remaining committed to their small-town values, creating local jobs, investing in their communities, and embracing new opportunities. This engaging presentation explores the challenges and rewards of running successful companies where relationships, resilience, and vision remain as important as the products themselves.
