John, thanks for taking the time to speak with us today. Let's start from the beginning. What made you become a milkman in 1996?

The pleasure's mine. It's been a wild ride, and I'm excited to see what the future holds. Interview With A Milkman -1996- -2021-

I think one of the biggest challenges is sustainability. With the growing awareness of climate change and environmental issues, we need to adapt our business models to be more eco-friendly. We're already seeing a shift towards electric and hybrid vehicles, as well as more sustainable packaging options. Another challenge is changing consumer habits and expectations. We need to stay flexible and responsive to what customers want, whether it's online ordering, delivery, or in-store experiences. John, thanks for taking the time to speak with us today

(laughs) Oh, there have been many. One of my favorites was when I delivered milk to a newborn baby's family every morning for a year. The parents would always leave out a little note or a drawing for me, and it became a highlight of my day. Another memorable moment was during the 2008 financial crisis, when many of our customers were struggling to make ends meet. We worked with the community to offer discounts and special deals to those who needed it most. The pleasure's mine

That's wonderful. Looking ahead to the future, what do you think are the biggest challenges facing milkmen like yourself?

Ah, it's a great story. I grew up in a family of small business owners, and I was looking for a job that would allow me to work independently and be outdoors. A friend of mine was working as a milkman at the time, and he recommended me for the job. I started as a delivery driver and learned the ropes quickly. I was hooked from the very first day.
