She Lost Her Job at 60… Then Built a Thriving Distillery: Here’s How


Listen Later

Jan Morris never planned to be a business owner – let alone a distiller. But after being laid off just before turning 60, she took an unexpected path that led to The Hardware Distillery Co. in Hoodsport, Washington, a charming town with a storied bootlegging past. Alongside her husband, Chuck, Jan turned a rundown building into a thriving craft distillery, specializing in unique spirits like aquavit and honey-based mead. In this episode of Create the Life You Want, host Jeremy Ames gets into Jan’s fascinating story – from a career in law to learning distilling in just one week! She shares the ups and downs of starting a business later in life, the unexpected friendships that shaped her success (including a Scottish master distiller!), and why she believes business ownership keeps her young.
