For Better or For Work — A Survival Guide from Meg Hirshberg
Meg Cadoux Hirshberg has stepped out of Stonyfield’s Kitchen to pen a new book and we’re excited to share the news! We love Meg’s recipes and we also love hearing her perspective on being married to an entrepreneur (Gary Hirshberg – our Chairman of the Board and previous CE-Yo!) and growing both a family and a business.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Meg Cadoux Hirshberg has been the wife of Stonyfield Cofounder, Gary Hirshberg since the early days of Stonyfield. She grew up outside New York City. She received a bachelor’s in comparative literature from Brown University and a master’s from Cornell Agriculture School. After working on an organic farm in California, running a science-education garden for elementary-school children, and managing an organic vegetable farm in New Jersey, she married Gary in 1986. The couple has three children.
Meg is a freelance non-fiction writer, whose work has appeared in Yankee, New Hampshire magazine, and the Boston Globe magazine, among other publications. In 2009, she began writing a column for Inc. magazine called “Balancing Acts” that explores work-life balance and the intersection of family and business in an entrepreneurial setting.
Meg’s new book, For Better or For Work: A Survival Guide for Entrepreneurs and Their Families, examines the impacts—for better and for worse—of entrepreneurial businesses on families and relationships. We decided to sit down with the wife of Stonyfield’s cofounder to find out more:
What can people expect to draw from the experiences with Gary and Stonyfield you share in this book that they can apply to their own business minded lives?
For Better or For Work offers tools, suggestions, and strategies for making your family life successful while you are trying to grow a business. It’s the book I wish Gary and I had had all along. We could have avoided a lot of headache and heartache along what was often a rocky entrepreneurial road to make Stonyfield what it is today. The book contains wisdom not just from our personal experiences, but also from the stories of the roughly 250 entrepreneurs and spouses I interviewed.
