005: When Doing Business is Your Life, not a Lifestyle with Tony Davis

*This interview was my first guest interview ever.   I was ever so sad to learn of Tony's passing in August of 2020 after a tragic accident.  May he rest in peace.    _____________________________________________________ Bend your ear to hear a bit from Tony Davis--entrepreneur, handcrafter, proud US marine veteran, and the owner of Kentucky Knows Bourbon Barrel Coffee and Handcrafted Gifts Shop in Frankfort, Ky.   In this episode, he shares a bit of advice on being an entrepreneur and the importance of gratitude.  You can sign up to receive a newsletter from Tony at https://www.kentuckyknows.com/  On his website you can view several videos about the history of his business, purchase coffee as well as a myriad of handmade barrel crafts. What was Tony's first craft?  He writes:  "Food represents family, home cooked meals, and community. That's when I came up with my first craft; the cutting board. And that's where it all started."  Don't you love that?!  Tony's website is absolutely fascinating!  I found myself lost in time, lost in thought, and really educated in the meantime. Please drop by to see Tony in downtown Frankfort.  Order a cup of coffee and tell him Victoria sent you!   Support our local Kentucky artisans and small business owners.  They're an integral part of what makes Kentucky a great place to live and visit!  Please stay connected!
