Let’s hear it for a true blue hometown business like Made in KC. Made in KC is a local retailer exclusively selling goods that are made in Kansas City (just like its name!). Keith Bradley, Co-Owner of the store, talks about his experience starting and growing a business of selling goods exclusively made by those in Kansas City (see: the name of their store). Does it come with its own challenges? Yes. Does this locally owned business still remain connected to the global economy? Yes. Is it also thriving by lifting up the people that live right in its own neighborhood? Absolutely yes.
Shout out: restaurant workers! Keith talks about how looks to those in the restaurant industry as folks that are working tirelessly to build strong stable businesses to feed our neighborhoods in a challenging environment.
Under the same family businesses, they also own Front Range Cafe, Outta the Blue, Sandlot Goods, and Rainy Day Books.
Bonus shout out: New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce (because, can we really post a podcast and not mention the Kelce’s or the Swift’s?) and to Porky’s in Grain Valley, MO.
Early and bonus shows as well as curated discussions and merch are available on Patreon.
