From Coolers to Community: The Making of Broadwater Shrimp and Building Something That Lasts | Episode 63 with Jason Janson

In Episode 63 of Sunday Afternoon Smokes, Chris sits down with Jason Jansen, owner of Broadwater Shrimp Supply & Seafood Market — and the guest of honor for the very first video episode recorded inside the new Sunday Afternoon Smokes Lounge. Jason's story starts with coolers, a truck, and a one-way move from Charleston to Greenville with no customers, no connections, and no plan B. What followed was five years of grinding, pivoting, and building one of the most recognized small businesses in the Upstate from the ground up. In this conversation, Jason breaks down what it actually takes to start something from nothing — overcoming fear, knowing when to say yes and when to say no, why slowing down is sometimes the fastest way to grow, and how the pursuit of legacy shifts when family enters the picture. This episode marks a new chapter for Sunday Afternoon Smokes — same cigars, same conversation, now on video. Sunday Afternoon Smokes. Upstate SC. Every Sunday.
