No longer Mom & Pop

Published April 13, 2026 | Written by Tanner Brodhagen

Since 2016, my wife (who started as my girlfriend) has worked besides me at Brod Solutions. Assistant, Social Media, Project Manager, President, Business Partner.

She will have always been the first employee at Brod Solutions. 

At the time I was freelancing and getting more work than I could handle. Sarah was working at a daycare and a liquor making minimum wage. It just felt right to bring her in, pay her a little more and trust that we could work together to keep the client checks coming in.

Fast forward, its a decade later, and now we are mutally deciding that her sacrifice has been enough. She gave up becoming a Teacher to help me with Tech. And now I feel I owe her, so its only fair that she has the next decade to do what Sarah wants.
