In the latest heart-stirring episode of HappyCast, join Stephanie as she takes on the formidable Copper Kings 100, an awe-inspiring mountain race crafted by ultra-runner Wes Plate. Set in the picturesque town of Butte, Montana, this race is not for the faint of heart—marked by its "fatass" style, it challenges runners with no aid stations and no course markers, demanding resilience and raw endurance.Central to this episode and the race itself is Butte's towering landmark, Our Lady of the Rockies. This 90-foot statue of the Virgin Mary, perched atop the Continental Divide, stands as a beacon of hope and perseverance for the runners. Conceived as a tribute to all women, especially mothers, the statue overlooks the city from over 8,500 feet above sea level, embodying the spirit of community and undying faith.As Stephanie navigates the unmarked trails of the Copper Kings 100, the imposing silhouette of Our Lady of the Rockies serves not only as a literal landmark guiding her through the night but also as a metaphorical guide through the challenges of the race. With Richard at the helm as crew and Shashi setting the pace, the episode delves into the trials and tribulations of nighttime navigation, the unexpected hurdles after the sun sets, and the mental battle that ensues deep into the endurance test.Through candid storytelling, Stephanie explores how the serene yet formidable presence of Our Lady of the Rockies inspired her to push beyond her limits. The episode also teases the future of the Copper Kings 100, questioning whether it will retain its grassroots "fatass" charm or evolve into a more commercialized race. Listeners are encouraged to stay tuned to Ultrasignup for updates on this unique mountain challenge.Be sure to subscribe to the podcast wherever you listen, and we always appreciate you leaving a good rate and review.

Wes Plate runs long, and I mean really long distances. In many ways I can't even wrap my head around days of running on end, but I do understand and marvel at the motivation and the story telling through creative route creation. His latest project of running 200 miles around the Puget Sound in Western Washington is both equally mind-blowing and inspiring. Wes also shares some news on his race directing debut at the Copper Kings 100 in Montana, slated of the summer of 2024.

In his Battle for Butte, the now-classic history of Montana's war of the Copper Kings, Mike Malone identified 1883–1884 as the beginning of big money's domination of Butte's mining and politics. In The Battle for Butte Journalism: From Mining and News to Mining, News, Politics, and Power, retired University of Oklahoma Press editor-in-chief Dr. Charles E. Rankin argues that, while such domination of Montana journalism did originate in Butte, the roots of that influence came years earlier, amid a raucous, more chaotic time for Mining City newspapers. English coal miner and labor leader Keir Hardie came to America in 1895 to learn about the U.S. labor movement and political protest. His observations on Montana, as well as the reaction he received among local miners, offer an insightful view on mining, politics, and class.

A detour from the Kentucky Bourbon Trail for the podcast. We toured Louisville's only brandy distillery, Copper and Kings, for this week's episode of the podcast. We discuss how to make brandy and how Copper and Kings is innovating and staying relevant in the city that runs on bourbon. Copper & Kings does not ignore the influence of Bourbon in this city and they embrace it in some of their processes.  Copper & Kings utilizes sonic aging, the process of rapidly aging spirits using sound waves generated by music.     Show Links: Music Playlist Is A Key Ingredient For Louisville Distillery Copper & Kings Official Website Loud Music Is the Key Ingredient in This Distiller’s Brandy Take a self-styled Everything-But-Bourbon tour of Louisville Chilled Magazine - Copper & Kings is America's Most Imaginative Distillery Brandy in the Heart of Bourbon County: A Visit to Copper & Kings Heavy Metal Aged Whiskey -  More on Sonic Aging Sonic Aging: Pro Audio’s Next Untapped Market?

According to Joe Heron, ignorance is underrated. A serial beverage entrepreneur on his third startup, Heron joined us for an interview included in this episode, in which he expressed his belief that “the number one characteristic of an entrepreneur is stupidity... because you manage the opportunity, you don’t manage the risk.” Having founded and successfully sold functional drink brand Nutrisoda and Crispin, a brand of premium hard ciders, Heron is now at the helm of Copper & Kings, a brandy-centric distillery based in Louisville, Ky. Prior to launching Copper & Kings in 2014, Heron had no prior experience in the distilled spirits industry, and, as he would learn, the process of starting a new distillery is notoriously difficult and expensive. Nevertheless, Heron couldn’t pass up an opportunity to fill what he identified as a gap in the market for high quality American brandy. “For entrepreneurs, it becomes a compelling challenge of making the idea real,” he said. “When you look at brandy, an enormous category, and the fact that was no American brandy, that felt like a really big idea.” As part of our conversation, Heron spoke about his career as a brand creator beginning with Nutrisoda in 2002 through to the launch of Copper & Kings in 2014. Heron also explained why he views entrepreneurship as an art form and an outlet for creative expression, how he identified cider and brandy as two beverage categories that were ripe for innovation, what he took into consideration when selling Crispin to MillerCoors and why he decided to sell a minority stake in Copper & Kings to beverage alcohol conglomerate Constellation Brands. Show notes: 2:50: Interview: Joe Heron, Founder/CEO, Copper & Kings -- In an interview recorded via weblink, Heron spoke with BevNET CEO John Craven and Taste Radio producer Ray Latif about his path to entrepreneurship and what motivated him to launch Nutrisoda, a functional beverage brand that was acquired by PepsiCo in 2006. He also explained how a British trend of hard cider served over ice led him to create Crispin and why the company’s focus on marketing and innovation helped it to stand out among competitors. Later, he spoke about the sale of Crispin to beer giant MillerCoors and discussed his belief that “it’s better to be fast and messy than slow and late.” He also explained why it’s important for the company to “behave like an incumbent, not a challenger” and why he views distilled spirits giant Constellation, which holds a minority stake in Copper & Kings as “essentially as startup masquerading as a giant corporation.” Brands in this episode: Nutrisoda, Vitaminwater, SoBe, Crispin Cider, Copper & Kings

From artisanal foods to craft spirits, this episode explores the evolving business landscape for specialty food and distilled beverages. Steven Rannekleiv, the global sector strategist for beverages at global financial services firm Rabobank, has covered the alcoholic beverage industry for over a decade and in our conversation, we explored the emerging market for craft spirits, including parallels to and differences in the development of the craft beer category. Rannekleiv also discussed how the investment community is evaluating craft distilling companies and how growing consumer demand for cannabis products is affecting alcoholic beverage categories. Later in the episode, we sit down with Phil Kafarakis, who is the president of the Specialty Food Association, the industry trade group that the organizes the annual Winter and Summer Fancy Food Shows. In our discussion, Kafarakis spoke about how the term specialty food  has evolved in recent years and the ingredients and formulations that are shaping the future of the industry. He discussed the role legacy food and beverage categories, like cocktail mixers and charcuterie, in the development of the space and the Specialty Food Association’s long-standing work with international food and beverage producers. Show notes: 2:16: Sitting Pretty at #WFFS19 -- On location at the 2019 Winter Fancy Food Show in San Francisco, the hosts riffed on notable exhibits, brands and products featured at the annual trade show. 9:24: Interview: Steven Rannekleiv, Global Sector Strategist - Beverages, Rabobank -- In a call with Rannekleiv spoke about the launch and mission behind Rabobank’s beverage-focused podcast, Liquid Assets. He also discussed the growing consumer demand for craft spirits and the opportunities and challenges facing small producers, explained how strategic investors are evaluating the space, why wine, not spirits, might be the alcoholic beverage category most at risk from rising consumer demand for cannabis. 32:28: Interview: Phil Kafarakis, President, Specialty Food Association -- Recorded at the 2019 Winter Fancy Food Show, Kafarakis spoke about the evolution of the Winter event, and the development of its education platform and Incubator Village exhibit. He also explained how the trade group defines “specialty food,” and why speciality products are becoming increasingly available at mainstream retailers.

Butte, Montana, once called "The Richest Hill in the World" due to its mineral wealth, is also known for its rich and riveting history. Settled in 1864 as a mining camp, the town soon attracted investments from the wealthy east coast elite, and by the turn of the 20th century was the largest city between Chicago and San Francisco. Increased production led to failing safety standards and strenuous working conditions resulting in the tragic accident that caused the deadliest hard rock underground mine fire ever in America.
