Third generation run company including the granddaughter who inspired their famous brand, Little Debbie. She now sits on the board of directors. Dave Young: Welcome to The Empire Builders Podcast, teaching business owners the not so secret techniques that took famous businesses from mom and pop to major brands. Stephen Semple is a marketing consultant, story collector, and storyteller. I'm Stephen's sidekick and business partner, Dave Young. Before we get into today's episode, a word from our sponsor, which is... well, it's us. But we're highlighting ads we've written and produced for our clients, so here's one of those. [Colair Heating and Air Ad] Dave Young: Welcome back to The Empire Builders Podcast, and Stephen I'm excited because we're back to baked goods. You told me just before we started recording that we're going to be talking about McKee Bakeries, and I didn't have a clue. I didn't have the foggiest notion what that was till you said, "Oh, these are the people behind Little Debbie snack cakes." So, yeah, yeah. Stephen Semple: Have you partaken in the few Little Debbie's in your time? Dave Young: Yeah, I've probably eaten loads of them in the past. I'm trying to avoid that stuff at this point in my life. Well, one of the weird experiences I have with Little Debbie's is, this is a weird one because I was renting a storage unit in Tucson, Arizona a couple years ago. You know how sometimes they're really cramped in the spaces to get in and out of your storage unit. Every time we'd try to go to access our storage unit, the guys right across from us had their trucks in, their trailers pulled in there and they were loading in and out boxes and boxes and pallets of Little Debbie snack cakes. It's like these were obviously the franchise drivers, the route drivers or whoever, and they were keeping their ... I don't know how that any of that works. So maybe that's part, I don't know what their business model is, but it evolved storage units in Tucson, Arizona somehow. Stephen Semple: Wow. There you go. Maybe these were counterfeit Little Debbie's. Dave Young: It could've just been a front, right? The cartel uses empty Little Debbie cases. I have no idea how any of this works. So tell me about McKee Bakeries. Stephen Semple: Started as McKee Bakery and it's now known as McKee Foods. And as we talked about, it's best known for the Little Debbie brand. Here's one of the things that's kind of cool. The company is still privately held going into its third generation, so we don't exactly know the sales figures. What I did come across as about 900 million cartons of Little Debbie product is sold a year, so that's a lot of storage containers in Tucson. Dave Young: That is a lot of storage units. I don't know if there's even a way to calculate that. Stephen Semple: And the fun part is the Little Debbie brand, like the whole picture and idea is actually based upon one of the founder's grandchildren with four year old Debbie, who today serves as an executive VP on the board. So Little Debbie has grown up and is now on the board of McKee Food. And so I thought that that was pretty cool. And so still very much a family business. Dave Young: That is really cool that they've managed to grow to that size and keep it in the family. That's always amazing. Stephen Semple: Don't see that very often. So they're doing something right, not only in terms of the business, but they're doing something right in terms of the family that they've been able to keep this going and keep it being successful. And I thought that that was very cool and just kind of neat that Little Debbie's on the board. Dave Young: So how did this thing get started? Stephen Semple: It started during the Depression when O.D., he's called O.D but his name was Oather but he goes by O.D, and Ruth McKee started this little bakery business during the depression. And what O.D.

Adjusting to new normals has been a challenge for us all. People are searching for guidance more than ever and it’s up to us as leaders to keep people on the path to success. In this episode of Re-Energize, Steve and Phil McGrath, friend and Human Resource Director of McKee Foods, explore the Pygmalion effect and how it relates to leadership. People perform based off the expectations you set for them. In his youth, Phil recalls his father as a well-respected basketball coach and how badly he and his siblings wanted to play basketball well. They performed well because their father expected them to. The same goes for our employees. Phil explains that our believes of an employee are manifested in our behaviors, our behaviors set the climate, and the climate directly impacts the employee’s outcomes. If we believe our employees have the capabilities to meet expectations, our faith in them will appear in our behaviors; thus, empowering our employees with the knowledge that they are capable, trustworthy, and successful. Phil says it best, “What gets watered, grows.” Support the show (http://www.stevecoughran.com)
