Ben Surratt

#RespectTheHat​

Born and raised in Wisconsin, Ben and his wife Angela moved to the Pacific Northwest in 2004. Following the financial crisis of 2008, Ben found himself unemployed with a 2 week old daughter at home. With his back up against the wall, Ben and his wife began a Manufactured Home Sales and Solutions business, which is still thriving today. “Listening to Real Stories about the highs and lows of of being a business owner is what I truly enjoy most about The BOB Podcast, knowing that if I am learning something new about business, our listeners are too.”
