As Taylor put it, “The goal is to insulate yourself well enough so that you aren’t saddled in a warehouse all the time.” Taylor adds that, “People with skills here are invalu- able.” He also acknowledges that just because people look good on paper does not make them a great fit for your business and that you want people you trust and who fit the work culture. As with any industry or business Taylor does not have a crystal ball that can predict the future, but after speaking with Taylor we get the feeling that he kind of enjoys the thought of what is to come. In his words, “I’m not totally sure where it’s going. Things happen so fast. We just want to sell equip- ment to larger distilleries and get bigger.” What we do know is that StillDragon wants to grow with their customers and continue to offer more innovation to the industry with more sophis-

ticated systems for their customers. Taylor ended the interview with a very simple message that has a lot of meaning, “We want to keep our customers happy.” And we have a feeling that they will do just that.
