What if you had a child on the autism spectrum who couldn’t find a job? Not because they couldn’t work but because of a lack of opportunities.
This was the challenge that Steve Bier was facing with his autistic son Sam who was highly functional. After being challenged by his wife, Barb, Steve invested $30,000 and bought a popcorn company in 2014. Today, Popcorn For The People employs between 70 and 80 men and women with some form of disability who might not have had the chance to find meaningful work.
As Steve pointed out during our conversation, a job is worth way more than the money for someone with special needs. A job could be a lifeline to being and feeling independent. To build social skills that are challenging under “normal” circumstances. And for parents, a job can be an opportunity to see their children develop in ways that they likely thought were unimaginable.
Doing good that tastes good is probably the best way I would describe Steve and the organization he has helped build.
Please enjoy my conversation with Steven Bier.
