Our Obligation with Diana Mandli

Better Together with Kosta Yepifantsev

Join Kosta and his guest: Diana Mandli, scholar, entrepreneur, founder and former owner of the Bull and Thistle Gastropub.

In this episode: Last week we talked with our friend Mark Dudney about the history of Jackson County and what brought us here today. Gainesboro is having a renaissance and it’s impossible to talk about the future of Jackson County without the woman that helped start it all. When you opened the Bull and Thistle in 2013 did you have any idea this would create a chain reaction that would bring Gainesboro back to life?

Like the rest of the Upper Cumberland, you have growing pains. More business. More restaurants. More people. More opportunities. More questions. For anyone that’s asking - what’s going on in Jackson County? What do you say?

Change is scary. I know that’s the understatement of the year, but it rings through this entire conversation and Jackson County. Change is scary. How do we see the entire Upper Cumberland through the change and decisions we have to make right now?
