Episode 19: Keith Bradley
Keith Bradley is co-owner of the iconic Made in KC brand and one of the driving forces behind its unique approach to helping local artists and businesses thrive. Inspired by his community-building work in the non-profit sector, Keith worked with fellow owners Tyler Enders and Thomas McIntyre to provide the storefront, the marketing, the business support, and the unmatched accessibility to help local artisans thrive.
“Kansas City understands the importance of supporting and shopping local really unlike other markets,” he said of the incredible loyalty our community has to locally-made goods. He also talks about the breadth and depth of creativity and quality manufacturing we have here in Kansas City, noting that at Made in KC stores, 90 cents on the dollar stays right here in our local economy.
Hear all about the humble origins and exponential growth of the “Made in KC” concept, and how it became a catalyst for community growth through locally made products and the thriving community behind it.
