ABOUT THIS EPISODE
When a farmer walks into a bar... Sounds like the start of a corny joke, but what if that farmer owns a distillery and the bar is his tasting room? We head to the historic Boot Hill in Dodge City, Kansas to talk to the owner Hayes Kelman. While starting and owning a soil to sip distillery is a lot of work, it's not all Hayes does. He also farms with his family corn, wheat, sorghum and soybeans.
Tune into this episode to hear how Hayes has diversified his grain markets with the distillery. Additionally, we dive into key lessons learned on navigating changing times, markets and the incredible importance of having a team that is adaptable along for the ride. When the business leader isn't the only one working to innovate, big things can happen.
