Dallas: The Improbable Journey of Nathan Sheets and Nature Nate’s Honey Company and America’s Most Trusted Honey
Ralph Waldo Emerson once said "The world is plentiful with honey, but only the humble bee can collect it". Nothing could be more true when recounting the story of Nathan Sheets, who humbly helped a local honey producer as a side gig, then bought the small company for $10,000. That was 1997, and in this episode DBJ Managing Editor Rob Schneider invites Sheets to share the remarkable story of how he grew the small company into the nation's #1 honey retailer and became known as "Nature Nate".
