Stay tuned.

Bonnie Harvey is the co-founder of Barefoot Cellars along with partner Michael Houlihan. She was Vice President and “The Original Foot” for 19 years. There she had a wide variety of duties, doing whatever was necessary to operate the business. While Michael’s role was “big picture visionary,” Bonnie translated his ideas into workable processes and displayed a genius for managing the millions of details that come with a start-up. She proved to possess a rare combination of creativity and business savvy that served Barefoot well. In the early days of the brand, Bonnie was responsible for bottling oversight, supply inventory and label design—in fact, the famous footprint is actually hers! Later as Barefoot grew, she focused on overview and direction of the business, setting company goals, and attending to Board of Director matters. She managed all financial aspects of the business, oversaw legal relations and compliance, and edited countless press materials, presentations, official manuals and other documents. Along with Michael, Bonnie donates professional time to non-profits to help them improve their image, increase donations and achieve financial sustainability. She also coauthors weekly business blogs at The Barefoot Spirit and Consumer Brand Buiders with him, and they consult together with several clients. Bonnie has a passion for helping young entrepreneurs choose the right path. With her varied “hard-knocks” experience, she offers practical solutions for all aspects of starting a business. She loves showing others how to avoid painful and costly mistakes and directing them toward profitability. Bonnie is the Co-author of The Barefoot Spirit: How Hardship, Hustle, and Heart Built America’s #1 Wine Brand, a New York Times Bestselling Business Book. Michael Houlihan is a highly sought-after business strategist, keynote speaker, consultant, and corporate trainer. Presentations are often with Bonnie Harvey, his Co-founder of Barefoot (now the #1 wine brand in the world), providing decades of real-world, practical business experience. Using out-of-the-box thinking, pay-for-performance, positive culture, channel distribution management, and “Worthy Cause Marketing,” they help start-ups, entrepreneurs and Fortune 500 corporations increase their sales, profitability and brand equity. For the first time, their secrets to success is available in an exclusive online series at BarefootSpiritGPS.com He, along with Bonnie, bootstrapped Barefoot (a novelty wine brand) into a national mega-brand, selling 600,000 cases per year in 50 states and 28 countries. They’ve keynoted at many prestigious conferences, symposiums, universities and forums. Listen to a free chapter of Michael and Bonnie's audio theater book. at businessaudiotheatre.com.

No matter your industry, there are tangible takeaways in each episode that you can apply in your own career and business.

When they launched a Sonoma wine business in their laundry room in 1986, Bonnie Harvey and Michael Houlihan were business consultants with no industry knowledge and no money, just $300,000 worth of bulk wine.  Today, the Barefoot Wines label they started is a top international brand. They've written thousands of articles and two best-selling books—The Barefoot Spirit: How Hardship, Hustle and Heart Built America's Number One Wine Brand and The Entrepreneurial Culture: 23 Ways to Engage and Empower your People. Now they're helping other entrepreneurs tell their stories in imaginative audio books.  The common theme running through all these successful endeavors is being outsiders, continually forced to come up with novel solutions. “We'd never written a book before. We'd never done an audio book before. We'd never done a wine business before,” Michael tells Published Author Podcast host Josh Steimle. “We weren't wine people. We were entrepreneurs.”  TOP TAKEAWAY: YOU CAN DO IT!  That's the message Bonnie and Michael want to pass on to entrepreneurial consumers of their print and audio books. “The Barefoot Spirit is a you-can-do-it story, says Michael. “No, it's not what you expect. It's more work and different work than you thought, but this is doable. That's the message, an encouraging message for entrepreneurs.”  After 19 years of a “get-rich slow scheme,” Bonnie and Michael sold Barefoot Wines and wrote a book, at their staff's insistence. “Once we sold our company, our staff came around and said working for us was the most unique, wonderful experience they'd ever had. And that we'd have to write a book about the company culture, which is why they'd all stayed with us.” says Bonnie. “Because our approach was so unique, we wanted to share it with other people, and the only way to do that was in a book.”  But they didn't want the Barefoot Spirit to be a typical, top-down business book. “So we thought why don't we just give them a story and let them draw their own conclusions, because they'll see the action and outcomes and learn the lessons even better than in a prescriptive text,” says Michael.  Make sure you're ghostwriter understands the principles you're communicating  After a disastrous first attempt at hiring a writer for their book, Michael and Bonnie found Rick Cushman, a longtime food-and-wine columnist for the Sacramento Bee, who impressed them with his humor, style and ability to tell stories.  “He talks to the average person, which was our end user in the wine industry,” says Bonnie. “So we'd tell him stories, and he'd take notes.”  “I would recommend to your listeners if you're going to get a ghostwriter, make sure they understand the principles you're trying to get across,” adds Michael. “What is the basic message here? Is it a message of tenacity, of innovation, of humanity?”  TURNING BUSINESS BOOKS INTO AUDIO PLAYS  The couple's latest book, The Entrepreneurial Culture: 23 Ways to Engage and Empower Your People, is an audio book, intended to reach a wider, younger audience. But it has a twist.  “We bought the top 10 audiobooks on Audible, and every one was great. But they were all read to you. They were all narrated,” says Michael. Driving across the Nevada Desert one day, they heard a PBS radio play complete with actors, sound effects and music. “We thought this is a fantastic way to communicate, through an audio play, like we had in the 1940s, before television.”  “Audio is entirely mobile, and you're not tethered to a screen or a page—you're jogging, driving, cooking pasta, vacuuming the floor—and you're listening to a story and you're learning from it. And you can put it down or pick it up anytime you like.”  The Entrepreneurial Culture was named a top-five audio book of 2020 by the Audiobook Producers Association. The award's judges said they'd never heard a nonfiction audiobook like it, let alone one that was self published.  Bonnie and Michael are now offering their audio theatre services to other entrepreneurs so these companies can preserve, in story form, their legacy, successes and knowledge. “We're motivated to help others and educate ourselves, to stay on top of the entrepreneurial education industry.”  LINKS  LinkedIn - Michael Houlihan  Linkedin - Bonnie Harvey  Twitter  Facebook   Instagram  YouTube  TheBareFootSpirit.com   Subscribe To The Published Author Podcast  If you enjoyed this episode, don't forget to subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, or anywhere else you listen to podcasts.

Michael Houlihan and Bonnie Harvey, authors of The Barefoot Spirit: How Hardship, Hustle, and Heart Built America’s #1 Wine Brand, turned their best-selling book into an audiobook to take the message where the people are. As nationally recognized speakers, both Houlihan and Harvey noticed the number of people with earbuds on kept increasing. They found people weren’t listening to music, but podcasts and audiobooks, and that sparked the idea. The book is about lessons they learned the hard way – it’s about learning about business by actually doing it. What makes this audiobook unique is that the audience is part of the action, they have including big names as characters such as Ed Asner, and they are the first business book to employ the audio theater platform. As Houlihan explains it, “The best way to convey a business principle is through story and the best way to convey a story is thought business theater.” He adds, “If you really want to engage people, the mobile generation, you have to entertain them.” Watch the episode on C-Suite TV https://c-suitenetwork.com/tv/video/michael-houlihan-bonnie-harvey-the-barefoot-spirit-audiobook/ Learn more about your ad choices.

I can't tell you how excited I was when Michael Houlihan and Bonnie Harvey said yes to the Pass the Secret Sauce podcast. If you don't recognize their names, you probably recognize what they founded, what they created. And we're going to get into some of how they created this in this episode. Bonnie and Michael are the founders of Barefoot wines, which today is one of the, if not THE most recognized, and most popular bottles of wine in the US. The incredible story about how they started this basically from nothing. I can't even tell you how much fun I had talking to both of them. In addition to that, Bonnie and Michael are New York Times bestselling authors. The newest projects that they have right now is that they're founders of Business Audio Theatre. They call it BAT. And again, we get into a little bit about what that actually is in this episode. And they've actually given us access to some of the footage from their own productions. If you have any interest in building huge mega brands, there are learnings from this episode that you can take away with that. In this episode we discuss: They discuss their first jobs when they were younger [5:38] Inspiration for creating Barefoot Wines [8:11] Getting ideas for their brand from blue collar workers [10:01] How Bonnie's body part ended up on the largest wine brand in the world [11:22] Bringing Barefoot wine to market [14:06] Excerpt from their book: The Barefoot Spirit: How Hardship, Hustle, and Heart Built America's #1 Wine Brand [14:25] Being rejected by a distributor [16:27] How donating their wines in the early stages increased their sales [18:58] Spreading themselves too thin when scaling their business [21:03] Selling the business and advice for others wanting to sell their business [24:42] Types of clients that would benefit from their consulting firm [32:46] What they look for in a client [34:07] Why they started Business Audio Theater [36:52] Get a free chapter from their audiobook [41:27] Quotable Quotes: It was not following a passion, it was following an opportunity passionately. When you don't know what you're doing and you're broke, you're very humble and you tend to ask a lot of questions. And because you're not from the industry, you don't ask industry people that turned out to be a big strength of ours.

Her new book is Clay Water, Brick: Finding Inspiration From Entrepreneurs Who Do the Most With the Least. “Listen carefully and learn from what your customers tell you,” says Barefoot Wines co-founders Michael Houlihan and Bonnie Harvey when they talk with many of the same audiences as Jessica Jackley to share the practical yet universal lessons they learned while developing America’s best-selling wine brand.Their books are The Barefoot Spirit: How Hardship, Hustle and Heart Built America’s #1 Wine Brand, and The Entreprenurial Culture: 23 Ways to Engage and Empower You People.
