THE AMERICAN DREAM PODCAST - SEASON 3 - KAITLIN OXENREIDER AND NILS SEUBOLD

Owning your own business is the American Dream of many immigrants and a dream of many Americans. Coming up with a successful idea, creating a business plan, and making it profitable are challenging, and not everyone wants to take the risk. Kaitlin is a local entrepreneur that owns and co-owns a lot of different businesses - 417PedalTours, Pappos Pizza, and Kait's Cukes. The new business that she recently opened is called Shot Shack, located at 302 E Walnut St here in Springfield. ShotShack is a "hillbilly-inspired" bar that offers 100 unique shots like "Giant Fork," "Birds On The Bat" and "Sip & Spin." Nils Seubold has known Kaitlin for a while and has been working at ShotShack since its opening. With Nils, we talked about his career goals, his work style, and why he decided to work for ShotShack. How different is an American Dream of an employer different from its employee? What are some of the plans for ShotShack? And finally, what is success for them?
