Octopi Brewing is another great example of our guest business leaders revealing success lessons, in this case the ability to weather mistakes along the way. This week, we chat with Isaac Showacki, the mastermind behind Octopi Brewing. He distills the basics of the craft beer scene and how he built Octopi into one of the Midwest’s biggest contract brewing companies.
Here’s what’s on tap in this episode:
The Magic of Contract Brewing: It’s more than brewing beer—it’s a smart, scalable business model that’s all about growth by catching the next product wave.
Rolling with the Punches: Growth isn’t without speedbumps. Isaac talks about preparing for things to go wrong and maintaining sufficient cash – the fuel of growth.
Teamwork Makes the Dream Work: Blending a killer team culture (rooted in values like best-in-class quality) with curiosity. Then peppering suppliers for insights and trends makes for a winning formula.
