In this special episode, Michael Wieland, VP of Sales at Mulhern Belting, Inc. and Chair of the NIBA Marketing Committee, joins Casey Hutchinson, President of Empire Rubber & Supply Company, for a personal and professional deep dive.

We'll learn about Michael’s roots where he grew up, his family life, and how his early career path eventually led him to the belting industry. He’ll share what inspired him to join Mulhern Belting, what it's like working with the Mulhern family, and how the company’s reach across NJ, OH, GA, IN, and MO shapes his day-to-day.

From sales and leadership to problem-solving and mentoring, Michael opens up about his current responsibilities, what fuels his passion for the job, and how NIBA and its Program Committee have impacted his journey.

We’ll also uncover what Michael does for fun outside of work, his thoughts on Ohio State, and what he might do if he stumbled across a winning lottery ticket.
