Susan Vandergriff gived an inside look into what it’s like to work in each of the corporate, non-profit, and small business worlds thanks to her unique blend of career experiences.

Her business, The Happy Birdwatcher Co., is the only company in the country that uses data to create a unique blend of seeds to attract birds to ones backyard.

In this episode, she talks about how her business came to be, the harsh realities of being a business owner (especially as a woman), and what it was like to grow up in an idyllic small town, seeing her family involved in the community and politics.

Susan Vandergriff is the founder and owner of The Happy Birdwatcher Co., which delivers thoughtfully blended birdseed, tailored to your backyard.
