Mitch Hara started as an investment banker helping Beekman 1802 grow and ended up becoming CEO. Every growing business needs experienced talent, finding the "right" talent is multi-faceted. Starting as a consultant enables the founders and Mitch to get to know each other before making a major commitment. This interview was recorded live at the NY Biz Lab - Clarkson Entrepreneurship Lunchtime Series. It's a fascinating story of a New York City banker, joining a "Living Brand" business in rural up-state NY. Mitch also discusses the challenges of maintaining the founders culture in a growing business. We also cover how Beekman 1802 built a strong customer following. Hope you enjoy this episode.
