"Vince Cain: Thriving in the Flood"

Full episode now, wherever you listen.

09/13/2023

This week we welcome a veteran of the Louisville beer scene, Vince Cain, co-founder and former co-owner of Great Flood Brewing Company, and Owner of Right Mind Consulting. We also welcome guest host Alex Vogt (owner, Awry Brewing)

Vince, with his other partners, opened Great Flood all the way back in 2013 and kicked off the second wave of growth in Louisville’s modern brewery scene. In his many years building the business of Great Flood, and in his current work as a consultant to non-profits and small businesses, Vince has truly seen it all. It was a truly great opportunity to get to sit down and get Vince’s perspective on how Louisville beer has grown and evolved over the last ten years.

We also put his business acumen to the test, and let him invest David’s life savings in our Shark Tank spin-off: “Bright Tank.”
