This is our second time talking with Gabriel Hargett of Oowee Products. His company is a leather goods manufacturer in Asheville, NC. The goods are handmade and fully customizable. 
This conversation is heartwarming and encouraging as Gabe partners with the North Carolina Autism Association to employ adults with autism in his shop. We also discuss his ability to pivot during a challenging time and the benefits of preparing for the challenges. 
Great company. Better man. Find out more at www.ooweeproducts.com.

William Goldberg, founder of Oak & Grist, is an artisan first.  With a natural curiosity for craft and dogged determination to create a product “the right way”, William holds himself to the highest of standards; his own.  Under the guidance of a retired Scottish master distiller, William tips his cap to the past traditions while carving his own, new path forward. The results are delicately balanced spirits brewed, fermented, distilled and aged all under one roof.
Firmly planted in the hills of Black Mountain, NC, Oak & Grist is Western North Carolina’s first grain-to-glass distillery.  The flagship spirit is a 3 year single malt whiskey with their goals to have  a 10 and 20 year.  William has set is sights on creating a community of local farmers, suppliers and consumers to support and better all involved.  William is a compassionate entrepreneur and as pleasant as the mountains he calls home. If you’re ever in the Asheville, NC area give the distillery a visit.  There’s tours, a tasting room and special events regularly on the calendar. And tell them USA Booming sent ya!  As the kind folks at Oak & Grist say, “we raise a glass to promising beginnings.”  
Cheers.
