Millennial 911

Good People = Good Business

Alyssa and Megan Season 1 Episode 17

Our first responder this week is Matt Widmer, co-founder of Wild Life Distillery. Although Matt’s distillery creates delicious bevies, our topic of conversation was the friendship agreement that he authored. Although it started as a lark, this ‘contractual agreement’ ensures Matt and his business partner Keith Robinson keep their friendship of primary importance. It turns out it’s a beautiful representation of not only how they run WLD, but live their lives.
