Show Notes
The Ryan family started their business out of necessity. Julie Ueland of Ryan's Juice recounts the story of how David Ryan began the company. David Ryan's father died suddenly when David was 15, and the family had a farm that grew a lot of apples. A doctor had given David's mother an apple pressing machine and she started making cider. The children sold it door-to-door, unpasteurized. When the mother was in Portland, Oregon delivering cider when she was hit and killed. It took amazing courage to turn the tragedy into triumph, but the older sister got custody of the siblings and they stayed together. David was the salesperson and pushed the sales regionally. A relationship with Costco mushroomed sales, and when that ended, the company went to tankers delivering ingredients that are as close to fresh pressed as it can possibly be. Julie Uleand's role at Ryan's is "Pluto". Not the dog, the planet - or not a planet? That's the point; Julie does whatever needs to be done to keep things moving at the company. Maybe "Utility Infielder" is better?
