ENTREPRENEURSHIP!  Matt Kaulig and Tim Clepper are rockstar businessmen and philanthropists with an enviable track record – both literally and figuratively.  Starting their partnership as friends first, Matt and Tim have built the single member family office, Kaulig Companies, into a juggernaut: the business now encompasses Kaulig Racing (with 3 cars in NASCAR’s Xfinity series and 2 teams set to race in NASCAR’s 2022 Cup series), consumer home products, marketing and events, finance and financial services, and a philanthropic powerhouse – Kaulig Giving – that supports over 100 nonprofit organizations benefiting children and families across Northeast Ohio and beyond.  In this episode you’ll hear how Matt discovered a new type of direct-to-consumer product, LeafFilter, and started a company out of his basement that has grown to become one of the largest DTC home products companies with over 118 offices across the US and Canada.  And you’ll hear how Tim, as President and CEO of Kaulig Companies, has used a “rhinoceros” mindset to propel his career and combine forces with Matt to build something very special.  Episode 21 of 3Q3D is the story of Matt and Tim’s rise, their serendipitous introduction and subsequent partnership, and how their brand’s “infinity” logo has become the touchstone for the symbiotic success that propels their mission.  Drinks in this episode: >> The Green Flag cocktail: 2 oz Tito’s vodka, ¼ oz Mr. Boston melon liqueur (green color), 1 oz white cranberry peach juice, 1 oz Sprite, ½ oz lime juice; pour ingredients in a tall glass filled with ice and garnish with a lime wedge >> Watershed Distillery Old Fashioned; pour over ice >> FLOH Pink Grapefruit and Dragonfruit vodka; pour over ice
