“It has allowed me to further appreciate how hard it is to achieve success,” he says. “That keeps me grounded, because I know what other people who are just starting out have to go through.” While most successful businessmen dwell in self-praise and arrogance, Marc Huehn thinks that he could someday use his success to help others achieve their dreams. Seeing young people try hard at being the best in their chosen vocation makes him happy, because it reminds him of how he was when he was just starting out in the business.

Marc Huehn says he hopes others could learn from this model.
“People should learn to look back when they reach their destination,” Marc Huehn says. “It gives you a perspective not only of what you went through, but of what others have to go through to get to where you already are. That perspective is valuable, because from it stems respect, and from respect comes true humility.”

At a very young age, Marc Huehn already showed strong inclination towards his ancestors’ trade, more specifically on the side of trading with Indians. Mr Huehn often joined his father during his frequent visits at the Missouri River trade fairs and at the Kootanae Plains where they would trade iron goods, whiskey and beaver traps in exchange for horses, buffalo hides and beaver pelts. With his mind on the profits, his father returned to Mississippi with captured Sioux Indians who were later sold in public slave auctions.

At the age of 23, Marc Huehn joined John Jacob Astor’s Pacific Fur Company in New York City as a working partner. J.J. Astor and his partners decided to establish trading posts in Astoria, Oregon, Alaska, Hawaii, Russia and China a year after Mr Huehn conferred with the company. Marc took charge of the Pacific Fur’s trading enterprise in Astoria where he worked alongside Duncan McDougall, one of the company’s partners. After a series of setbacks and losses, the Pacific Fur Company disintegrated and was sold to North West Company in 1812. Marc Huehn returned to Mississippi where he once again traded with the Plains Indians.
