Ep 8: The Incredible Story of Stepek Electronics by Martin Stepek

In this special Red Chair edition of Pole Position: The Polish Business Podcast, I welcome Martin Stepek, the founding director of the Scottish Family Business Association. Martin shares the extraordinary life story of his father, Jan Stepek, a business magnate and war hero. From surviving a Soviet gulag to building a multi-million-pound family business in Scotland, Jan's journey is one of resilience and determination. Martin delves into the successes and failures of his father's business, offering insights into the challenges of unprepared success. This episode is part one of Martin's story, with a second installment to follow. Join me as we explore the remarkable legacy of the Stepek family and the lessons learned from their experiences.
