Bourbon & Business

Bourbon & Business

Welcome to the Bourbon and Business Podcast! We’re Dakota and Tyler, two friends thirsty for knowledge from thriving business people and looking to have a taste of bourbon along the way. Our mission is to interview incredibly successful men and women to get the inside scoop on how their brains work and show that success doesn’t always have a specific formula to follow! There is also a bourbon tasting at the beginning of each episode because…why not?
