Business lessons learned over a beer or two

Founder of The Boston Beer Company, brewer of Samuel Adams Boston Lager, and a key catalyst of the American craft beer revolution, Jim Koch offers his unique perspective when it comes to business, beer, and turning your passion into a successful company or career. In 1984, it looked like an unwinnable David and Goliath struggle: one guy against the mammoth American beer industry. When others scoffed at Jim Koch’s plan to leave his consulting job and start a brewery that would challenge American palates, he chose a nineteenth-century family recipe and launched Samuel Adams. Now one of America’s leading craft breweries, Samuel Adams has redefined the way Americans think about beer and helped spur a craft beer revolution. In Quench Your Own Thirst, Koch offers unprecedented insights into the whirlwind ride from scrappy start-up to thriving public company. His innovative business model and refreshingly frank stories offer counterintuitive lessons that you can apply to business and to life. Koch covers everything from finding your own Yoda to his theory on how a piece of string can teach you the most important lesson you’ll ever learn about business. He also has surprising advice on sales, marketing, hiring, and company culture. Koch’s anecdotes, quirky musings, and bits of wisdom go far beyond brewing. A fun, engaging guide for building a career or launching a successful business based on your passions, Quench Your Own Thirst is the key to the ultimate dream: being successful while doing what you love.

The Beginning

In the Valley of the Smoking River; the Beginning A synopsis A member of an unnamed tribe, circa 1700 AD, Summers Gift gives birth to a special child named Little One. He is special in more ways than can be immediately observed, with the most obvious being that he is born with the "withering sickness." His legs are but two undeveloped stumps, which would keep Little One from walking or running. As was the custom, the old medicine man is summoned to perform a blessing and deliver the little boy to a holy place where Little One will return to his ancestors. In the next life, Little One will have a whole body and walk amongst his ancestors. This is Little One's fate--or is it? Standing Elk, at 10 years old, does not understand nor accept the decision to have his little brother, Little One, leave this life and enter the next one. Standing Elk did not understand the challenges facing his brother, so in his naivety, he intervenes, stopping the old medicine man from delivering Little One to the holy place. The old medicine man tries to explain the challenges Little One will face and the fact that the child will never walk. Standing Elk stands his ground making a commitment that if Little One cannot walk, then Standing Elk will carry him; a commitment far beyond his years, making the two boys as one, yet still separate. The two brothers walk the same yet different paths. Little One and Standing Elk both learn from their father, Strong Bear. However, raising children in this culture is a village affair. Beyond their father, the old medicine man, Sees Far, grooms Little One toward becoming a holy man and possibly a future medicine man. Standing Elk's mentor, beyond his father, is Lame Deer, the tribe's leading warrior. Lame Deer teaches Standing Elk to become a warrior and possible future tribal chief. Both boys hone their skills and learn of their individual paths, but also learn together and form an almost seamless entity. Together they face many challenges. Challenges that develop them into the leaders they are both destined to become. As years pass, Little One and Standing Elk grow, learn, contribute and face great challenges. Together the two youngsters: experience their first buffalo hunt play key roles in the survival of the tribe through the "long hunger" meet their future brides share their vision quest and the lessons learned from their spirit guides face two separate attacks from their nemesis tribe known as the Pawtanay experience tribal life and customs While Little One and Standing Elk complete their spirit quest, they come under attack from the Pawtanay. Using their wits and spiritual abilities, they defeat their attackers. This act adds to the legend as the "circle of life in the valley of the Smoking River continued, as it had for untold generations, and this was as it should be.""
