Episode Synopsis

In this episode of Bourbon & Bullsh*t, John Manes welcomes Randy Huber, Business Development Manager at Valston Construction, a general contractor specializing in self-storage, retail, and commercial projects across the Southeast. The two reconnect in Texas after six years in the industry—this time over pours of Jack Daniel’s Twice Barreled Heritage Barrel Rye, a 100-proof Tennessee rye with a nose that surprises and a palate that hits with cinnamon, caramel, and classic bourbon heat.
Grab a pour and join them as they dig into:
• The earthy nose vs. cinnamon-forward palate of Heritage Barrel Rye
• Why Randy bought two bottles of Eagle Rare within 15 minutes of landing
• Valston’s construction work across retail, commercial, and self-storage
• Parenting teens, travel-ball weekends, and raising a family in South Carolina
• “Old school” values: work ethic, honesty, and showing up
• The power of relationships in the self-storage industry
• Why doing your research matters—especially when investing
• Behind the scenes of Texas SSA and why it’s one of the industry’s best events

• Jack Daniel’s Twice Barreled Heritage Barrel Rye – 100 proof
