Not only is Neil Dahlstrom the author of the business historical narrative Tractor Wars, but he's also the Branded Properties and Heritage Manager at John Deere. Before that, he was Deere's Corporate History and Archives Manager.

Neil admits he wanted to be Indiana Jones when he grew up and even worked in a museum in high school.

During this conversation, we learn what a corporate archivist does, how to start a company archive, and how to start a career in this field.
