In this episode, Matt talks to Eric Dopkins, Founder & CEO of Milestone Brands. Milestone Brands is a premium spirits company based in Austin, Texas, and was founded in February 2016 by two local entrepreneurs and veterans of the beverage and spirits industry, Eric Dopkins, former CEO of Deep Eddy Vodka and Chad Auler, co-founder of Deep Eddy Vodka.
