Perfect for you if...

  • You're thinking about starting a company and want real-world wisdom from someone who actually did it, not theory from a consultant.
  • You care deeply about product quality and company culture, and want to know how to build both without selling out.
  • You're curious about the craft beer revolution and the personalities who shaped modern American entrepreneurship.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You want a prescriptive playbook with step-by-step instructions. Koch trades structure for storytelling and personality.
  • You're looking for the hard numbers and financial mechanics of scaling a business. This is more philosophy than spreadsheets.
  • You're put off by beer culture or have no interest in how craft beverage companies actually operate.
