Andy and special guest host Meg Erpenbeck, the Courier's digital editor, talk about MadTree Brewing's third location, a Cincinnati startup's Mach 5 space plane, plans to fill vacant storefronts in OTR, the zoo's $680 million impact and how the Blackburn sisters are shaking up the Bengals.
Interview starts at (25:56). Greg Rouse turned a pandemic hobby into a $5 million business. His sons launched Braxton Brewing Co., where he is also a co-founder, but amid Covid-19 shutdowns, Rouse and eldest son Jake rekindled their love of sports trading cards and started "breaking" packs of cards online, a combination of ecommerce and live-streaming on social media. From that grew Hit Seekers, which opened a brick-and-mortar shop last year and has grown revenue 4,228% since its founding in 2020.
