If you're going to invest, pick fun industries. Marc Bushala is an entrepreneur experienced in real estate, marketing, media, and food and beverage. He's founded the private equity firm MAB Capital Management and was CEO of Angel's Envy Bourbon. MORE ABOUT MARC BUSHALA Marc Bushala founded MAB Capital Management, a closely held private equity firm, to invest in and re-develop industrial, commercial and retail properties. MAB Capital has invested more than $100 million in real estate in Chicago's River North, West Loop and Ravenswood neighborhoods and is currently developing two mix-use projects in Nashville, TN.

Marc Bushala knew he wanted to partner with Bob Dylan as soon as he read that The Bard had registered a trademark for a whiskey brand. So Bushala reached out, talked his way into partnership with the Nobel Prize winner, and influenced the evolution of Heaven's Door, now an award-winning whiskey-label.

Happy New Year Beyond High Street friends. Marc Bushala has passion to be an entrepreneur. You can hear it in his voice in how he thinks through challenges and opportunities. He shares some great stories about taking advantage of opportunities (especially when you are young) and how to find openings in the marketplace. All of this business and entrepreneurial work led him down a path into the spirits world. And after a deep dive almost a decade ago, he has been building and creating some incredible whiskey products including Angel’s Envy and now Heaven’s Door in collaboration with Bob Dylan. Google his background. It’s very impressive. Enjoy the pod.

  Bob Dylan is known for many things, but slapping his name onto a product to make a quick buck is definitely not one of them. In fact, the new Heaven's Door line of whiskies marks the first time the legendary singer and songwriter has ever put his brand on anything other than his music and art. Dylan partnered with a team of spirits experts led by Marc Bushala, who helped bring Angel's Envy to the market before selling it to Bacardi in 2015, and Ryan Perry to create three new whiskies, along with plans for a distillery and art gallery scheduled to open next year in Nashville. Marc Bushala and Ryan Perry join us on WhiskyCast In-Depth to share their story of creating whiskies with Bob Dylan, and we'll also have tasting notes for the Heaven's Door whiskies, too. In the news, a bad Brexit breakup could cost the Scotch Whisky industry millions of pounds each year in trade tariffs, and industry leaders are trying to persuade British officials to avoid that outcome. We'll have that story, along with a look at the first whisky distillery in the Scottish Borders since 1837, and much more on this episode of WhiskyCast.
