ANDREW Godin
Favorite Part of Job: I enjoy being able to work with family, be my own boss, and be outdoors. I also really like working with animals.
Favorite Vermont Escape: Anywhere in the mountains, either enjoying a nice hike to a summit, or a refreshing swimming hole on a hot day.
Favorite downtime activity: Lounging around the house with my wife and kids.
Favorite Social Media: I primarily use Facebook. I like that I can keep up with friends whom I would have lost contact with otherwise.
What is the best career advice you have received? Sell the cows, and get a good paying job. (I have yet to take that advice!)
Where do you see yourself professionally in ten years? Hopefully working more on the home farm along side my family members.
