She is the latest guest for six segments with Vic Verchereau on Leadership Lowdown.

Madeline Fabiano Blair shares a message of passion for work, family business, quality, and leadership; hear what she discusses with Vic!

In 1924, 14-year-old Michael Fabiano of Holland told his father the family’s ice cream parlor would be the perfect place to make and sell top-quality homemade candy. Convinced by his son’s enthusiasm and determination, Charles Fabiano bought a local candy operation and moved it to their ice cream parlor. It was an instant success!

Eleven years later, Michael married Jane Coscarelli and moved to Lansing. Here, Mike taught Jane how to make candy using only the finest ingredients, without shortcuts, to get the very best results. Together, they passed the art on to their children and grandchildren.

Today, Fabiano’s Candies is a fixture in Michigan’s capital city. Its enduring tradition of quality and service lives on through daughter, Madeline Fabiano Blair and grandson, Steven Blair. Take in this sweet edition of the Leadership Lowdown when host Vic Verchereau gets the family story right from Madeline Fabiano Blair!
