Austin From Scratch: An Interview with Drew Gressett, Founder of Hat Creek Burger Company

Austin From Scratch is our favorite series on the blog and involves Owen (age 7) and Malia (age 5) interviewing local entrepreneurs who have created a thriving business here in the heart of Texas. For this session, we sat down with Drew Gressett, Founder of Hat Creek Burger Company. The kids selected Hat Creek because they love the burgers and their awesome outdoor play-scape.

7 Short Miles, 7 New Ideas

As part of my training for a 25k trail race I’ll be doing later next month, I ran 7 miles this evening around Lady Bird Lake (Austin, TX). And while I typically listen to inspiring music to keep myself motivated, this time I elected to change things up a bit to see where my creative juices would take me; specifically, I decided to see if I could come up with 7 ideas for new businesses – or 1 new idea per mile. Keep in mind, this gave me between 8-9 minutes to come up with a new concept…all while become more and more fatigued. And if you’re asking yourself what this has to do with “A Family’s Journey of Entrepreneurism,” I would tell you that you always need to be thinking of fresh, new ideas.
