This book is a testament of determination when most would have given up. Al Thieme has never been satisfied with mediocrity or the status quo.

His never giving up and curiosity driven demeanor is the requirement to build a business from the bottom up. He possesses the right work ethic, inquisitive energy, and pioneering spirit that early traditionalists brought to this country.

A happy, generous, kind character that rings out when he speaks of helping others that are physically challenged or not.

An entrepreneurship essence and American tenacity for good to prevail.

A people person and God-fearing man with purpose. Amigo goes forward because Al Thieme trusts and acknowledges the one and only true God. The one who saves, upholds, and sustains all things.

I totally enjoyed Al’s story, he took responsibility for the good and bad, he owned it! You don’t see many people with his determination, grit and drive, can’t wait for the next book to come out!

Reading this made me so proud of Al, he never gave up on his dream of helping his wife have more mobility in her life and finding a way for people to have more independence. My son works for Amigo and he loves how much they really care about their employees. Thanks Al and Beth for making such a great company that treats you like family!

Such a great book! Al’s story of perseverance and determination to find a better way is inspiring. It’s so nice to get a glimpse into the history of Amigo and the ups and downs of years past, and how far the company has come.

There Must Be a Better Way is an exceptional story of perseverance and discipline to never quit. The story of Amigo Mobility is a testament to the Thiemes, Amigo’s employees, and their commitment to manufacture a best-in-class product in Bridgeport, MI.

The book does an excellent job not only of telling Al’s story but the adversity their company faced with competing manufacturers, ever changing regulatory environments, and the highs and lows that come with running a successful family business. A must read for anyone with a passion for business, entrepreneurism, or challenging the status quo.
