144. Starting a Small Town Brewery with Terry Sando

We're back with another one of our favorite kinds of episodes: real stories of real people doing really cool things in their small towns.    This episode features Terry Sando, a retired Air Force officer who's built a brewery in his small town of Hillsboro, ND. We love this story because Terry was inspired to build a business to serve his community…so he did! He's kept the community at the heart of everything he does, and he's such a great example of what can happen with a dream, willingness to learn, and lots of hard work.   About Terry:   I was born and raised in Valley City, ND. In the summers, I worked on my grandparents' farm south of Rogers, ND. I graduated from Valley City High School and went to college before joining the Air Force in 1979. I did 5 ½ years of enlisted time with my final assignment being a crew member on the B-52 at Grand Forks AFB. Duties included pulling nuclear alert and flying training missions.    In November of 1984, I joined the 119th, the Happy Hooligans to become an Intelligence Officer and trained at Lowery AFB in Denver. My son Travis was born during my assignment there and my wife Deb wouldn't tell me on the phone if it was a boy or girl! Happily, I was granted emergency leave and flew back to Grand Forks to see my son.    I had different assignments at the 119th and returned to active duty to gain space operations background for future Air Guard missions in 1998. During my six years in Colorado Springs, I was assigned to Peterson AFB, Schriever AFB, and Cheyenne Mountain. 9/11 happened while I was stationed at AFSPC (Air Force Space Command) and I was selected to help stand up NorthCom. I was the first Guardsman to be qualified to stand watch at Cheyenne Mountain for NORAD/NorthCom. It was my most challenging assignment, but also my best assignment during my career.    My next assignment in 2004 was at the National Guard Bureau in Washington D.C. and from there I went to the Air War College at Maxwell AFB where I got my Master of Strategic Studies. My final assignment was Plans and Requirements at 1st Air Force at Tyndall AFB.    During this assignment, I grew an appreciation for craft beer brewing. I had a coworker who was a great homebrewer, and he got me interested in learning to brew beer. I had to put it into my bucket list of things to do when I retired.    I retired in November of 2009 and came home to Grand Forks. After retirement I had jobs at the University of North Dakota as the Emergency Manager, Grand Forks Region EDC working on building the UAS ecosystem, a Norwegian company eSmart doing UAS operations for utility line inspections, and finally Mobile Recon a small UAS startup company.    I decided to get into brewing in 2019 and started construction of a brew pub in Hillsboro. This became Goose River Brewing, and the pub has been open for two years. Two beta batches of beer were done in July of this year, so we're officially brewing! Part of the goal was to have a blue-collar craft beer lovers social gathering location that would help make Hillsboro's downtown a destination. We are working on building relationships with our local malt barley growers. We also have been giving our spent grain to a local cattle grower to use in the cattle feed ration. The pandemic had a big impact on raising the cost of construction and pushing out the opening date. My goal is to build a local team that will take over operations and then I can slow down and take advantage of retirement.    In this episode, we cover:  What inspired Terry to get into brewing beer in the first place  How COVID threw a wrench in the plans for the brewery and what they did to compensate Why businesses like this one could be a really cool opportunity for someone from a city who wants to move to a small town The importance of community and relationship-building in long-term success and buy-in Why you are never too old to learn or try something new    Links and Resources Mentioned: The Goose River Brewing Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/GooseRiverBrewing

Episode Summary: In episode 182 of the Aerospace Advantage, Tomorrow's Air National Guard: Lt Gen Loh Conversation, Heather “Lucky” Penney and Lt Gen Joseph "Gus" Guastella, USAF (Ret.) chat with the Director of the Air National Guard. Whether discussing air superiority, aerial mobility, aeromedical evacuation, or cyber—Guardsmen are deployed around the globe every single day helping meet combatant command demand. But the Air Guard is also facing challenges. Along with the rest of the Air Force, equipment is aging, and the Air Force is not sufficiently funded to procure replacements fast enough. This is especially pronounced in the fighter mission area. Jets procured in the 70s and 80s are hitting the end of their service lives, but we're not buying enough aircraft fast enough to replace them. Demand isn't going down, which drives the remaining force even harder. Join us for this incredibly insightful leadership conversation to learn where the ANG is headed and why.

**Leadership Episode** I am honored and proud to introduce you to Command Chief Master Sergeant Ronald Anderson, He is the Command Chief of the Air National Guard, meaning he is the highest ranking enlisted member in the component of the Air National Guard.  he is directly responsible for all matters influencing the health, morale, welfare, job satisfaction, discipline, utilization, family support, quality of life, and professional development of more than 106,600 Air Guard members.In this interview He goes into the details of his unusual and remarkable career path. For this episode’s Warrior Challenge: The command chief talks about how his success came from building relationships based on credibility and that credibility is built everyday.  Your challenge is to start a journal and write everyday on what you did to build credibility, or ways you could have, and would like to build credibility in the future.   Creating a habit and documenting progress is a great way to hold yourself accountable while you build a new character trait.  The Chief talks about: Starting out his career Turning around a bad attitude Being impacted by positive leadership Making transitions- getting article 15s The power of structure Transitioning into the Guard Positioning for promotion Quitting recruiting Getting a job in a different line Being willing to do the job well Taking responsibility for yourself What’s your story? Being accessible as a leader Learning to see through different lenses for the entire bio of the Command Chief, or to comment on what you learned please visit www.tamfpodcast.com/earneveryday   Quotes: If you were going to ask me what one of my keys to success, or how I got where I am, I think it was that idea that I built relationships on credibility and that credibility is earned every day, every time I show up, every morning, every day, every afternoon, I just earned everyday. Don’t tell yourself no…If you opt out of something that is put in front of you, you may find your self in a situation where that could have been the difference of why you were promoted or why you were selected. When you opt out of an opportunity you say no to that experience so I urge folks to continue to find balance in their lives but to explore opportunities and to serve in other ways. Your career will either happen to you, or you will drive it. I see a lot of people who let their career happen to them and then they’re mad at the world for it, and that’s ridiculous. You have the ability to own it, if you only take advantage of the opportunities.

On this episode we talk with Maj. Keith Kosik, the state partnership program director and three members of the Washington National Guard on their experience with the program. The National Guard State Partnership Programs (SPP) are designed to establish long term relationships in which U.S. States and their partnered nations share best practices and expert knowledge in a range of areas. The SPP is a Department of Defense joint security cooperation program administered by the National Guard Bureau that links a state's National Guard with the armed forces of a partner country in order to build long-lasting, mutually beneficial relationships with U.S. allies around the world. The Washington Military Department and our partner countries share best practices for military support to civilian authorities, emergency management, disaster planning, port security, HAZMAT/WMD response initiatives and airport security, among others. The SPP also facilitates economic, commercial, social and cultural government interactions in addition to military-to-military expert exchanges. Multi-level Army and Air Force familiarization exercises provide yet another platform to share effective practices and techniques. In 2002, Washington Gov. Gary Locke and The Adjutant General, Major General Tim Lowenberg, established Washington State’s SPP to establish a long-term relationship between the Washington Military Department and the Kingdom of Thailand. In 2017, Washington Gov. Jay Inslee and The Adjutant General, Major General Bret Daugherty, signed the agreement with the country of Malaysia, pledging each other’s commitment to build enduring relationships through sustained cooperation on areas of mutual interest.
