The topic is indicative. The main idea is to make an evaluation in the economic data of the clean energy of hydrogen as green energy. The analysis section could be done with panel data or time series. We could certainly use regression analysis. In any case it should include data analysis.

In this project, you will have the opportunity to step out of your comfort zone and dive deep into the life and journey of an inspiring individual who has found success in the arts or business world.

I am thrilled to introduce you to Austin Evans, a pioneer in the alcohol industry in Mississippi and one of the co-founders of Cathead Distillery. I was fortunate enough to become familiar with Austin and the Cathead team during a challenging yet transformative time in our shared history — the COVID-19 pandemic. It was an extraordinary experience to work part-time at Cathead during the pandemic and assist in bottling hundreds of thousands of sanitizer units, contributing to the health and safety of our community. During my stint at the distillery, I bore witness to the company’s resilience, adaptability, and relentless dedication to community service as they shifted production from vodka to hand sanitizer in response to a dire public health crisis.
(I also personally learned that serving others is a great way to overcome tough, uncertain times.)
At the heart of Cathead Distillery lies an unparalleled commitment to authenticity and action, principles embodied in their motto, “support live music”. Rather than merely paying lip service to this slogan, Austin and his team have made significant financial contributions to real initiatives that help keep the spirit of live music alive — particularly with their sponsorship of blues festivals all over Mississippi, and with Cathead Jam, their non-profit music festival held each June. This unique approach to authentic branding goes beyond mere business strategy; it is a manifestation of their passion for the community and culture they are a part of.
In our discussion, we delve into the power of such branding, and the fundamental role it plays in Cathead’s business model. However, beyond marketing, the themes of adaptability, social responsibility, creativity, and seizing opportunities are also paramount. These values should resonate deeply with those honing their own artistic or entrepreneurial endeavors. In the interview and the subsequent reflection exercise, we’ll navigate Austin’s entrepreneurial journey, uncovering insights that stretch beyond the domain of distilleries and into the heart of innovative entrepreneurship. Austin’s story reveals that, despite popular belief, it’s more than possible to do something big in Mississippi.
