Subscribe to ⁠Behind The Pursuit: From Bourbon to Brand⁠

Herb Heneman, now an instructor at the James B. Beam Institute for Kentucky Spirits at the University of Kentucky, teaches students about marketing and building a spirits brand from the ground up. Both Ryan and Kenny share a connection with Herb, and not long ago he invited Kenny to guest lecture for his class. The session covered a series of insightful questions about the industry, but unfortunately, it wasn’t recorded. In this two-part episode, we revisit those questions and the conversations they sparked from the inception of Bourbon Pursuit, through it’s now 10-year career, and how they’ve built a Spirits brand out of it.

We hit on:

The numbers, and how BP has become “The Official Podcast of Bourbon”
How and when did you start the podcast?
Who have been some of your favorite guests? Any that were total disasters?
Where and how do you record and how has this evolved over the years
How do you decide topics for discussion? What makes a piece of content newsworthy for BP to talk about?
How did you grow BP’s reach and get paced across different platforms like Apple, Pandora, iHeart and Spotify?

and much more.
