While incentives bring excitement and boost sales, do we always need them in a fiercely competitive sales landscape? Join me as I delve into these questions and provide insights.
Ok I’ve wrapped up all the Yellowstone shows and had a bourbon epiphany! Tate Dutton spins the saga full circle. Join me for a drink and a wild ride through 1883, 1923, and Yellowstone as I start predicting the Dutton legacy’s cosmic loop. Cheers to unraveling mysteries with good bourbon!
In my distributor days I dreaded doing resets but when I became a supplier I valued them in my strategy. Here is a quick synopsis of an article I wrote on Linkedin for www.xenbev.com.

I needed a beer and a quick rant about the unfortunate news of Oskar Blues closure of its Austin facility. This is tough news and I pray not indicative of what's to come in the Craft Beer World. I wanted to give a quick synopsis of my experience assisting in the grand opening of the ATX satellite as well as my admiration for their liquid and quick embrace of the Texas culture. Go grab a Dales Pale Ale and enjoy!

Enjoy as I discuss a truly divisive topic that has plagued the Beer World for over a decade......
Some people are just destined for greatness, pulled themselves up from their bootstraps, started from the bottom...you get the idea. Is this truly how they got to the top? Very doubtful, I reminisce on an age old tale of greatness and then I drop the more meanigful message behind it.
