"I just wake up in the morning and want to do cool stuff... that's what motivates me."
Brian Johnson is a dreamer and a doer with many interests. He is not afraid of working to bring his ideas to life. Brian is at ease working for people, working with people, and managing people. How did one of his projects manage to raise $57,000? In a town where Ermal Fraze revolutionized the beverage industry, how are Brian and his partners innovating with soft drinks? What is he doing to help benefit local musicians, local music venues, and the people who come to see shows in our community? You'll want to listen so you can find out the answers to these questions. We talk about both pi (π) and pie. At the end of this episode, I hope you are encouraged to try out some of your bright ideas & inspired to support local businesses wherever you might be.
