Tucked into a little light-industrial corner of the city of Eldon, just a stone's throw from Lake of the Ozarks, is a wildly niche business with a high-profile, international customer base.
It's called Argosy: they make super-high-end, custom shelving and workstations specifically for audio recording studios. And it's all made right here at the Lake.
Here's one testimonial: "Argosy is the Rolls Royce of studio styling" - Jon Anderson; YES
James Rericha is the new owner/CEO of Argosy... but he's been involved in quite a few other businesses at the Lake too.
In this free-ranging conversation (as per usual), we talk about the Lake's lost manufacturing segment, the perils of private equity takeovers, and what many business-owners at the Lake aren't doing but should be.
This is definitely part-one of a conversation that is to be continued...
