They discussed the challenges and successes of running a distillery, and what makes Dry Land unique among Colorado’s many distillers. This time, we’re still at Dry Land Distillers, with Brad and Jeff talking to the “whiskey academic,” Ted Waldron, Professor of Management and the Kent R. Hance Regents Chair in Entrepreneurship at Texas Tech University’s Rawls College of Business. They discuss a number of topics and go off on several tangents, mostly related to Ted’s recent paper, "Entrepreneur-investor rivalry over new venture control: The battle for Balcones Distilling," published in 2022 in the Journal of Business Venturing.
