Don't Quit

Welcome to Breaking Down Boxes. We have compelling conversations with entrepreneurs in the packaging space.

In this episode of Breaking Down Boxes, hosts Simona Georgescu and Brian Suarez sit down with Randall Rigsby, Founder of Altex Packaging, for a deeply personal and wide-ranging conversation about entrepreneurship, family, and perseverance in the packaging industry.

From his early days in Saudi Arabia to building a thriving packaging business in Alabama, Randall shares the unconventional path he took—shaped by his time in the Navy, his work in dog training, and a relentless drive to succeed without a college degree. This episode dives into the human side of business, the critical role of family support, and the moments that tested—and strengthened—Randall’s resolve.

Listeners will walk away with real-world insights into building company culture, navigating industry changes, and the mindset it takes to grow a business through both triumph and adversity.
