9: Interview with Jerry and Pat Papenfuss

In this episode, you will hear how two farm kids from different parts of Minnesota met in Winona after high school, fell in love, got married, grew a successful radio business while raising a family, and to this day, continue to actively volunteer and support the community they have lived in for decades.

And how did they do it. They did it by betting on themselves. They did it by putting in the hard work, by putting in the effort, they did it by building a team and empowering that team. They did it with good communication with each other and those around them. They did it by pushing and ultimately motivating others to be the best they can be. They did it with a neighbors helping neighbors attitude. They did it by doing what it takes to make things happen.

Jerry and Pat are a modest power couple. And when I say modest, I mean modest. Jerry and Pat don’t live a flashy lifestyle, but rather a more low-key and under the radar lifestyle. After all, it is the Winona way!
