{"product_id":"people-first-the-third-federal-way","title":"People First: The Third Federal Way","description":"From the depths of the Great Depression, Ben and Gerome Stefanski were driven by a mission to help people achieve the American Dream of homeownership and financial security when they founded Third Federal in 1938.\n\nIn 1987, Marc Stefanski succeeded his father Ben as chairman and CEO.\n\nUnder Marc's leadership, Third Federal has grown beyond the Slavic Village neighborhood of its founding to serve generations of loyal customers across the United States.\n\nWhile driven by the original mission, he added his own values of love, trust, respect, a commitment to excellence, and fun to the Third Federal business model and to its culture.\n\nEnduring through many economic challenges—the Great Depression, the savings \u0026amp; loan crisis of the 1980s, the housing bubble of the 2000s, and the COVID-19 pandemic, Third Federal has remained strong, stable, and safe.\n\nThe story of Third Federal invites reflection on how we live in both our personal and professional lives.\n\nThis is the story of how a business builds a culture—and how the values behind that culture have touched so many lives.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B0BGN8Y12W\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.B0BGN8Y12W.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Stefanski, Marc A.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
