Episode 110: Randy Gerber – Getting to the Root of Happiness in Business & Entrepreneurship in Columbus, Ohio

by | Sep 7, 2021 | Interviews with Leaders | 0 comments

“What I think about will ultimately form my character.”

-Randy Gerber

In the heart of Columbus, Ohio’s entrepreneurial ecosystem – and not far from the stadium of his beloved Buckeyes – is the office of Randy Gerber. Randy is a successful business owner, a devoted family man, an OSU alumnus (and arguably their biggest fan), and a leader in figuring out how to simultaneously have a successful business and a robust personal life.

Born and raised in Buffalo, New York, Randy knew he was called to do something different. He moved away from his family and the wings at Barbell Bill Tavern (his favorite food to this day), to attend The Ohio State University where he graduated from the Fisher College of Business. Bypassing the “safety” of a corporate career, he founded his own business in 1991. Gerber, LLC is a professional services business focused solely on improving the business and overall happiness of first-generation entrepreneurs. His holistic approach integrates his clients’ personal ideas and aspirations with their business, life and financial goals. His business has 16 employees and has served over 200 clients.
