Whiskey Making (and Selling) Mistakes with Dan Garrison & Donnis Todd
10/19/20 • 31 min
Owner and Master Distiller from Garrison Brothers Distillery
Show notes: http://www.markgraban.com/mistake11
We have two special guests from Garrison Brothers Distillery joining us for Episode #11. They are Dan Garrison, founder and CEO of the distillery and Donnis Todd, their master distiller.
I've known Dan and Donnis since I first had the chance to visit their distillery in Hye, TX back in 2013 as part of an MIT alumni group visit. I've visited many times and I've volunteered as a bottler, as I've blogged about. I love the people, the place, and the product -- their Texas Straight Bourbon Whiskeys, many of which are award winners.
In the episode, Donnis tells a story about a time when he let some whiskey age one year too long... and what he learned from the mistake (and how Dan handled it). Dan talks about a mistake he made with one of their key national retailer relationships and what he learned from that. They both talk about how they've created a culture of "fessin' up" to mistakes when you make them and why that's so important to their company.

She has been a nurse for over 20 years and a Family Nurse Practitioner for almost 10.

We also talk about her work and passion around medical billing mistakes and what patients can do to protect themselves from that.
