231 - Believe In Your Vision with Zach Fine of Holly Poultry
Tuesday, 6 October, 2026
In this episode of The DMV Business Show, host Otto Sevilla sits down with Zach Fine, CEO of Holly Poultry, to discuss his journey from growing up in a family business to leading the company through significant growth and transformation. Zach shares how he started at the bottom, working night shifts and learning every aspect of the business his father founded in 1989. He recounts the pivotal moment during the onset of COVID-19 when Holly Poultry had to quickly pivot from exclusively serving food service clients to breaking into the retail sector. This move not only saved the business but also set the stage for launching innovative retail brands like Easy Street and One Fine Chicken, focused on healthy, affordable poultry options for consumers. The conversation explores the importance of surrounding yourself with the right team, the value of patience and learning from mistakes, and the unique challenges and rewards of navigating a multi-generational family business. Zach also opens up about leadership lessons learned on the field as a youth lacrosse coach, the influence of mentors inside and outside his family, and the critical role his wife has played in supporting his vision. Looking ahead, he discusses ambitious plans for facility expansion, job creation, and making healthy chicken accessible and affordable nationwide all while staying committed to the company’s roots and values.This episode is brought to you by: SEVI - The first commercial real estate company committed to the four C’s: Commercial Real Estate, Community, Content, and Culturehttps://seviproperties.com/LET'S CONNECT!LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/ottosevillaInstagram: http://www.instagram.com/theottosevillaFacebook: http://www.facebook.com/TheOttoSevillaYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@OttoSevillaEmail Me! osevilla@ottosevilla.comText Me! 240-706-7584
