Behind the Open Sign Episode 10
At 23, Wayne Hesler-Mondore had never owned a business. He wanted to buy one anyway. So he walked into a Utica bank and asked for $85,000. When the banker didn't say yes, Wayne kept asking. When the banker worked out of a different branch on Wednesdays, Wayne showed up there too. That's just the opening chapter of the story Wayne tells on the newest episode of Behind the Open Sign , the freshly renamed podcast from hosts Tammy Crossway and Carl Ulinski that goes behind the scenes with the people running businesses across the Mohawk Valley.
