(January 30, 2024 - Hour One)

9:14pm & 9:35pm - It's the first month with 5 Tuesdays and it also happens to be the first month of the new year! Let's close out January with some top level MEAT talk! We lead off tonight with Jeff Smith, the co-founder of Colorado Craft Beef. The company is now in its 5th generation of ownership, but Jeff and his wife Kara have focused on getting CCB to the next level from both an operational and a sales stand point. Tonight, during both segment, we will explore Jeff's background, talk about the history of the company and how they have had to change over time in order to stay relevant in an ever-growing meat marketplace. We will also talk about their cattle raising process, what becoming "vertically integrated" has meant to their business and, perhaps most importantly, what you can expect as a consumer if you are looking to give their beef a try.
