    Episode #114 - Heath Schneider - The Bootlegger's Grandson | Iowa Legendary Rye - The REAL Story

    Episode #114 - Heath Schneider - The Bootlegger's Grandson | Iowa Legendary Rye - The REAL Story

    Heath Schneider is the bootlegger's grandson working tirelessly to reclaim his grandmother's legacy and save a small Iowa town's history from corporate bullshiters. Representing a piece of American history caulked full of fiercely independent German Catholics

    Heath Schneider is a Las Vegas Mortgage Professional with a ton of years and sales behind him. So why is he involved in making Rye now? Simple. It's Grandma's reputation that's at stake and he's looking to set the story straight; at all costs.

    Heath Schneider is the bootlegger's grandson working tirelessly to reclaim his grandmother's legacy and save a small Iowa town's history from corporate charlatans. Heath represents a piece of American history chocked full of fiercely independent German Catholics that were quite defiant back in the 1930s.

    Most look at Bootlegging as a sort of odyssey froth with all kinds of exhilarating short stories that shows the struggle in a man vs man setting.

    On the one side the law which was after any bootlegger so they could throw them in jail and keep them from making that sinful beverage. (this was during prohibition) and the poor town folk of that little town in Iowa that just wanted to be able to pay their bills and enjoy a great "juice".

    Heath sits with Michael to give the reality of what his battle is with the brand and how he's striving to reclaim his Grandma's legacy. Literally stolen from the family through corporate dishonesty, another brand continue to maintain to this day that their story is true and correct. In fact, after researching it, it's no where near true. Heath shares his story of how he got involved and how he plans an going after the big corporate bullies. (Heath's not easily bullied; he's like 6'7" so good luck with bullying him)

    If you want to know more about the history of bootlegging in Iowa or to know more about grandma, follow them on Facebook or on their website:

    You can also order Iowa Legendary Rye online via their website.

    We HIGHLY recommend that you start with the black label since that's the original recipe that you would have gotten back in the 1930s.

    Grab a dram, sit back and enjoy!

    Episode #113 - Alexander Hall - From Fraudster to Hero - A former Fraudsters Journey to becoming the hero against Fraud

    Finding your way back – A former Fraudsters Journey to becoming the hero against Fraud

    Alexander “Alex” Hall is a reformed, high-level fraudster, Alexander has 14 years of experience relevant to fraud and fraud prevention. His experience taught him a lot about being on the “attacking side of the equation. Once he saw that he needed to change due to family and wanting to do right by them, he decided to switch sides.

    Since joining the fraud fighter community in 2017, his strategies and processes have been successfully applied to companies ranging from retail to financial industries and everything in between.

    In 2020, Alexander founded Dispute Defense Consulting and has since accepted a position on the board of advisors for the customer experience program at the University of Nevada - Las Vegas. Additionally, Alexander is recognized as a subject matter expert by service providers and publications such as Card-Not-Present, Merchant Fraud Journal and About-Fraud.

    Alex “gets real” in this chat with CoffeewithMike and lets loose on the realities he faced and the benefits he figured he earned through being on both sides of the fence. He shares what motivated him to change from jobless to entrepreneur and how it’s currently going. (which is quite well actually)

    He intends to help every company he can to find the open windows in their cyber security and system security in order to better secure YOUR money and identity from the bad guys.

    Episode #112 - Sarah Dupree - Momprenuer that rocks! Having that Creative perspective as an Entrepreneur

    Episode #112 - Sarah Dupree - Momprenuer that rocks! Having that Creative perspective as an Entrepreneur

    A Creatives Perspective

    Sarah Dupree has been a professional in the advertising industry for 17 years. She started out at large agencies such as Saatchi & Saatchi, Yamaha, and ultimately found her place in the marketing world as a commercial and brand photographer. She's shot for large companies such as Boot Barn, Sprouts, and Kotex as well as many local small businesses and entrepreneurs including highly influential social media personalities.

    Sarah sits down with CoffeewithMike to talk about the journey and struggles of being a young budding creative that had to learn through doing it herself and learning as uch as she could on her own. She also talks about the business relationship she has with her business partner and how they've come to "vibe" well together. 

    There was a lot of good riffing on this show and sharing how as entrepreneurs we need to really look at how we're branding ourselves, how we need to pay attention not to just the immediate situation (our clients) but to have a wider spectrum to see other potential opportunities. 

    Branding especially on social media matters; not just for influencers but for businesses as well. 

    This is a candid take on business as a mompreneur, a creative, and a business owner. Sit back and vibe with Both as they tear into life and business.
