It’s hard to believe that this is the last episode of 2024! It has been such a great year both personally and professionally.

Today we are bringing back an episode from the past because it’s the perfect time to re-listen to it! In August 0f 2023, I went through the process of how I set goals successfully.
You’ll learn the two different types of goals and a way to keep your goals visual and top-of-mind. I’m talking all about the power of goal setting, how to attack your goals so that you can achieve your big dreams, and the value of setting goals that matter to you and align with your purpose.

6. The Importance of Taking Risks with Ranch Water Founder, Katie Beal Brown
Leaders Of The West
07/04/23 • 32 min
On today’s episode, I am joined by Katie Beal Brown, the founder and CEO of Lone River Beverage Company. We’re talking all about the importance of taking risks, how changing your perspective mitigates your fear of risk, and how the personal growth process is far more important than achieving your goal.
Katie Beal Brown is a fourth-generation West Texan, born and raised in Midland, TX. Growing up, some of her fondest memories were from the time spent with her grandparents out on their family’s ranch in Far West Texas near Fort Davis. Katie attended Southern Methodist University in Dallas, TX, where she met her future husband, Tyler Brown, a Houston native and seventh-generation Texan. Katie and Tyler Brown married in her hometown of Midland in 2013 and immediately moved to New York, NY where he had an opportunity in private equity real estate and she continued to grow her career in advertising. With years of experience at industry-leading agencies, she set out on a new venture to build her own brand, Lone River, celebrating her roots in West Texas. Lone River pioneered the tequila-style hard seltzer category with its introduction of Lone River Ranch Water and more recently Lone River Ranch Rita. After less than a year of record sales, Lone River Beverage Company was purchased by Diageo, one of the world's largest producers of spirits and beers including world class brands like Casamigos, Crown Royal, Johnnie Walker, Smirnoff, Guinness and more. Lone River now leads the tequila-style seltzer category as the #1 Ranch Water in the U.S. Katie continues to lead the business on a day-to-day basis, as CEO of the brand and works closely with Diageo leadership to build further on Lone River’s success.
