Austin From Scratch: An Interview with Taylor “Thunder”, Co-Founder of Thunderbird Energetica

Austin From Scratch is our favorite series on the blog and involves Owen (age 6) and Malia (age 4) interviewing local entrepreneurs who have created a thriving business here in the heart of Texas.  For this session, we sat down with Taylor and Katie Thunder, Co-Founders of Thunderbird Energetica.  We selected Thunderbird, a creator of “epic tasting whole food energy bars,” after sampling their products at a local Whole Founds and learning they were produced in our own backyard here in Austin, TX.  (If you haven’t tried them yet, stop what you’re doing and head to Whole Foods or pick up a sample pack here.  Trust me.)

July’s AdVenture: Owen’s Rock Collection

Earlier this month, we posted that July’s AdVenture was going to involve some sort of custom pastry.  Well, a couple of things happened since then so we’ve elected to change it up a bit.  For starters, a lengthy vacation back to Wisconsin took us off course, and then Owen created a rock selling business without any of our involvement (insert proud father moment here).  Since he was able to create a nice little profit, we’ve changed this month’s AdVenture to Owen’s Rock Collection and are including an abbreviated Austin From Scratch segment where we interview the Founder.  Yep, we’re riding the wave!
