Talk about timing…we bet you’ve heard about lumber prices. This week’s episode of Bizwood features none other than Matt Kuiken of 👊🏼

Kuiken Brothers has been a Bergen County staple for over 100 years. Matthew Kuiken, a Ridgewood resident, is now in charge of many of the day-to-day operations. Matt describes how his Dutch immigrant ancestors started the business and how it has evolved through depressions, wars, and suburban development.

Matt tells me about the importance of railroad transportation in getting their lumber all the way from the Pacific Northwest to New Jersey. We talk about the impact Covid has had on business, his experience as a kid working long hours in the yard, and how the recent volatility in lumber prices has affected their operations.

Matt describes his management style in running so many locations—with hundreds of employees—while also serving customers across the nation. And he tells us how Kuiken Brothers stands apart from its competition.

RIDGEWOOD’s TALLEST BUILDING 💪🏻 today’s episode features John Amorosa of Toresco Holdings.

Before becoming CEO at Toresco, John earned his MBA after running his own wealth management business. The Toresco family (including John’s grandfather, uncle, and cousin) originally started with auto dealerships before selling those off and focusing on real estate. Now they own commercial real estate, residential, multi-use, investment properties, development, management and more--in towns and cities all over New Jersey.

John describes the process of getting the business off the ground, how he navigated Covid, what it’s like running a family business, and how he plans to grow.

HURRAY!!! This week’s episode features the awesome MarySue Dwyer of

A couple years after leaving her Wall Street job, Ridgewood resident MarySue Dwyer started making women’s ribbon belts in her basement. Since then, her business has consistently grown into a broader fashion empire. BeRibbon now is a wholesaler to boutique stores across the country, along with its own retail e-commerce site, selling nationwide.

MarySue tells me about her unique approach combining art and business, how she sources her unique materials and design patterns, and how she’s kept up with changes in both fashion trends and the retail business.

We talk about the benefits of partnering with Etsy to run her online retail business, and the surprising demand increase that came about due to the pandemic.

EPISODE 028: Rob Wunder—back by popular demand!!

Rob shares the unique philosophy of his business approach that has allowed him success as an entrepreneur on multiple occasions.

On one hand, he is trusting, brimming with optimism, and filled with long-term faith for his ventures. And yet several times he’s had to fire employees on their first day because they couldn’t do what they promised.

Rob talks about the details of his process. He’s never written a business plan or taken outside investors. He lets the people he hires have independence. He lets the people he hires have independence. He wants people to be happy, rather than worry about who has the cheapest price or is the most profitable company. He tries to keep his companies small rather than deal with the stress of managing too many people.

Rob tells me about his personal strengths and weaknesses, shares mistakes he’s made, and gives advice to other entrepreneurs who may want to emulate his path. It’s an eye-opening conversation. Anybody running their own business or thinking about doing so one day won’t want to miss it.
