Beth Barron has been the CEO of Chabill’s Tire & Auto Service since 2018, but her entire career has been in and around the tire business. In this podcast, Barron talks about the effects of COVID-19 on her business and staffing, the opening of new stores, her family’s legacy in the industry and how women are a big part of how her company is constructed. Also, this podcast interview was conducted before Hurricane Ida hit Louisiana, and Beth and her family are fine.
