Brandon Tai | Beekeeper Entrepreneur
Today’s superhero is Brandon Tai. Brandon has been a commodities trader, a wine salesman, and most recently, a beekeeper and entrepreneur. What a fun conversation this was. Not only did I get to hear about Brandon’s childhood and college days - which definitely shaped him - but I also got to try some of his amazing honey. He brought generous samples from a variety of jars of honey which we taste and discuss. We did our very best to paint an audio picture of what we were tasting. I think it translates, but if you’re listening to this and leave wanting more, I cannot encourage you enough to visit Brandon at one of the various farmer's markets and festivals next time you’re in Atlanta. There are links to Honey Next Doors website and Instagram so you can find out where and how to purchase - they will do mail orders - and it's well worth it. Enjoy!
