    Ep. 27- Build A Culture- Not A Business (John Bryant- No-Li Brewhouse)

    John Bryant grew up in a very small town and is the product of very modest & very hard working parents and grandparents. His family history is an incredibly important part of his identity and the identity of his well-known brewery, No-Li in Spokane, Washington.When John tells his story it is not about the money or growth- he does not seem to measure success by his profit and loss statement- he is soundly focused on making Spokane the epicenter for craft beer. He talks about cu...

Inspiring

Inspiring is the word. What a great place to hear successful people talk about goodness-driven success. If more reporting were stories like these instead of “to get the role I wanted I posed for Playboy” stories, the world would be a better place. This is real world, true happiness and success stories filled with life lessons that, if learned, can actually lead to sustained happiness and success. Thanks Kelly.

Inspiring

After listening to Kelly interviewing people who have pursued their dreams sometimes at great personal cost in time and effort, I have decided to follow mine. Thanks for the nudge Kelly! jeannepick

Very engaging and well produced

I started listening on ep 11 with writer, artist and novelist Saul Hansen. It was a fantastic pod cast talking about his life story and new book “My Friend Merlin”. A tremendously inspiring episode. Highly recommend giving a listen.

Kelly has a great podcasting voice and allows the guest to give their story unfiltered and rich, while adding just the right amount of peppered in commentary to create a smooth and balanced show. Great stuff.
