About this episode
Al Doan is the executive chairman of the Missouri Star Quilt company.
Al's problem is this: How do you combine low tech and high tech to turn a niche hobby into a wildly successful company?
In 2008, Al and his siblings helped their mom open a quilt shop in Hamilton, Missouri. Now, the business has grown to over 100 million a year in revenue and Jenny Doan, Al's mom, has become the YouTube quilting star.
