In today's episode on SLOWMO with Urban You, Nicole chats with Co-Owner and Founder of Long Road Distillers, Kyle VanStrien. They talk about how Long Road Distillers began over a bottle of Irish whiskey, the challenges and rewarding moments of growing their business to over three locations, and like many business owners this past year, they are working to navigate the unforeseen challenges of 2020 and looking towards better days ahead in 2021.

Absolute B.S. begins an epic journey as we talk to Jon O’ Connor, co-founder of Long Road Distillers! From humble beginnings in a garage, we trace the Long Road story from Grand Rapid’s West Side, all the way to its newest tasting facility located in *REDACTED* (you’ll have to listen to find out where!) From being a First Ward Commissioner to the burdens of new fatherhood, Jon’s candid demeanor and penchant for singing karaoke Dolly Parton songs, paints a portrait of a man with strange taste.
