Daniel Plenzik: How One Passion Project Became World-Class Brandy
Episode description
Daniel Plenzik built a steady career as an electrical engineer before deciding to leave it behind. What started as a personal passion for winemaking turned into a full-on commitment to craft spirits, leading to a Calgary distillery that quietly produced the best brandy in the world.
We talked about what it really takes to step away from security, how long-term thinking shapes every decision, and why building something meaningful often means doing it the hard way.
This one’s about passion, patience, and choosing to build something most people won’t notice until much later.
