32. More Than a Job: How Big Fish’s Work Family Helps Through Life’s Challenges with Aaron Schwind
Update: 2025-04-08
Description
Something that we pride ourselves on here at Big Fish is how much we care not only about our customers but also our team, and our next guest is proof of that. In this episode, we sit down with Aaron Schwind, one of our talented carpenters who has been with us for about 2 years. Aaron opens up about his life working in the trades, his passion for working with his hands, and how he ended up at Big Fish. But more than that, his story is one of resilience, hard work, and the power of community.
Just a few months after joining the company, Aaron’s world was turned upside down when his wife, Melissa, was diagnosed with cancer. He opens up about navigating that difficult time and the overwhelming support he found in his work family. That kindness and compassion made all the difference in helping him get through it.
We also talk about how work became an anchor for him. Being part of a team and doing hands-on work gave him purpose and helped him keep moving forward. His perspective on life, loss, and growth is something we can all learn from, and we’re truly honored to share his story.
