Warren Yoder is the CEO of the Yoder Family of Companies , which includes numerous Weld and Larimer County enterprises - namely Weld County Garage , Yoder Chevrolet , ABRA of Fort Collins and Greeley , The Carriage Shop, Kayman Direct, Iron Clad Manufacturing, Truck City, Drivewise, and Driven Financial. All are in the automotive industry and adjacent, and Warren has spent his whole career in the automotive sector - which like any sector - is the people business.
This episode runs fast through a series of foundings and acquisitions, with lots of discussion about the why at each stage. The Yoder companies are known across the region as employers of choice, and we spend a lot of time discussing how they’ve managed this during a season with so many labor challenges.
Warren is a natural entrepreneur and a gifted leader, and it was great getting to know him during this conversation and our preceding coffee. When he’s ready, Warren would make an amazing LoCo Facilitator, and I’m honored to share with you all my conversation with Warren Yoder.
