In Episode 62, Jake sits down with Kevin Murray for a conversation about creativity, work, and what it looks like to slowly build something real. Kevin’s story moves from playing lead guitar in the Columbus band Midnight Coast in high school, to working as a graphic designer, getting laid off, and eventually turning a love for baking into a growing bagel business. This one is not just about bagels. It is about what happens when a creative person keeps finding new ways to make things.
We get into the craft behind Kevin’s bagels, the science of testing recipes, the challenge of building a food business without trying to scale too fast, and why slow, deliberate growth can actually be the right move. Kevin talks about word-of-mouth, branding, local food laws, flavor ideas, and the reality of turning a side project into something people genuinely care about.
