Michelle welcomes Hernandez Posada, owner of Mill Street Distillery in Utica, OH and Endeavor Brewing Company in Grandview, OH to the podcast.

"While I didn't get into becoming an M.D., helping people was something that I always loved and interacting with individuals to try to help them in any way I could."

"It's amazing. We have 21 across the state. Our distillers' guild alone I think has 17 members so it's amazing and we anticipate to exceed 30 by year's end so they're popping up across the whole state (of Ohio)."

"And if you can provide a quality product that's developed locally, supporting the economy, creating jobs, they (the customer) will be willing to pay maybe a little bit more."

"You have to ensure that's (your product) going to be competitive with anybody in the world. You have to legitimately feel that you can do that. If you don't feel that you can compete with other businesses at that level, then the ability to scale it (your business) is really unrealistic."

"You need to understand that if you don't have the passion for what you're doing it's not worth doing."

“Simplicity of our business if an advantage for us. We can get all those things the big guys do, so we order things specifically for customers when they ask for it.”

Offering local product is important… “We buy as close to home as possible…help your neighbors, and they will help you.”

On challenges from competition… “We try to use our resources. We network so much, we know so many people in every realm.”

Michelle speaks with Andy Schmidt about this Columbus, OH icon restaurant expanding into the foot truck world.

Born just north of Frankfurt Germany, patriarch J. Fred Schmidt journeyed to America and settled in south Columbus in the early 1880’s. Opening the J. Fred Schmidt Meat Packing House in 1886 in the heart of German Village, Schmidt’s became Central Ohio’s most well known name in meats and is to this day sold in leading grocery stores around the country.

J. Fred’s grandson, George F. Schmidt, opened the company’s first restaurant in July of 1967 just around the corner from his grandfathers’ meat packing plant in German Village.

Using meat recipes from the packing days and dessert recipes from the German ladies hired to run the kitchen, Schmidt’s Sausage Haus became an instant success. Schmidt’s is still a landmark eatery in Central Ohio.

Today, the family tradition of day-to-day operations of this uniquely diverse hospitality company is carried out by the fourth generation of the Schmidt family. The Schmidt name is recognized throughout central Ohio and the nation as a leader in quality specialty restaurants, catering and unequaled banquet facilities as well as retail sales and fair and festival food services.

Our second podcast features a conversation with Scott Everett, General Counsel, and VP of Business Services at Wright Patt Credit Union (WPCU).

Wright Patt Credit Union (WPCU) is back in Columbus, with 5 branches in the Columbus, OH metro market. The move back into Columbus was decided upon by the WPCU members living in the Columbus market.

Entering back into the Columbus more effectively, a market leader was hired. To address the fast-paced growth of Columbus, WPCU had to establish a “footprint” in the market, what WPCU calls a “hub and spoke” model.
