Most owners confuse a tough decision with a failure. Kevin Jackson and Stan Cummins took over 5x5 Brewing Company in 2023, grew the UTRGV Vaqueros beer into half the business, and made the hard call to close the taproom so the brand could keep going. The beer is still on shelves, the partnerships are intact, and the next chapter is already in motion.#CraftBeer #VeteranOwned #SmallBusinessLife Currency sits down with Kevin Jackson, co-owner of 5x5 Brewing Company, for the real story behind one of the RGV's most recognized craft beer brands. Kevin walks through what actually happened, why the taproom is closing but the brand isn't, and how the UTRGV Vaqueros partnership, the veteran-owned culture, and a loyal fan base across HEB, bars, and restaurants are carrying 5x5 forward. Along the way Kevin shares sharp lessons on partnership, disagreeing well, spotting hype cycles versus real brand building, the sponsorship-ask trap, and the speed of trust. If you want to support 5x5, keep buying the beer.0:00 Intro1:19 Buying 5x5 with Stan Cummins 3:02 The tough call to close the taproom 6:44 The UTRGV Vaqueros deal 11:47 Events, community, and veteran-owned culture 26:17 Kevin's beer origin story 32:02 What's next for the brand 47:04 The team, the fans, and the sponsorship ask 1:00:10 Hype cycles vs real brand building 1:09:30 Pricing, margins, and scaling up 1:19:53 Partnerships and the biggest lessons 1:27:10 El Paso and what's aheadAbout Kevin Jackson: Co-owner of 5x5 Brewing Company, Army Reserves veteran, and one of the voices behind the UTRGV Vaqueros Blood Orange Kolsch. 5x5 beer remains available at bars, restaurants, and HEB across the RGV, El Paso, Corpus Christi, and beyond.About us: Bob Lozano is the CEO of F&P Group, a company involved in restaurant management, commercial real estate, and digital marketing.

Most developers fail because they chase eyeballs instead of making calls, overextend without safety nets, and miss the information hiding in plain sight. Shavi Mahtani bought his first commercial strip at 27, survived the 2008 recession, and now develops 40+ acre tracts across McAllen by doing the opposite of what most developers do.Life Currency sits down with Shavi Mahtani, founder of Domain Development, to reveal why most real estate developers fail and exactly how to avoid their mistakes. Shavi breaks down the critical difference between calculated risk and reckless gambling, why insider information is your biggest advantage in real estate (not illegal like stock trading), and the recession lesson that changed his entire approach to development. From understanding when to step into deals personally to knowing that outreach beats eyeballs every time, this episode is packed with hard-earned lessons from someone who's built McAllen's modern landscape. Whether you're in real estate, restaurants, or any business requiring vision and deal-making, Shavi's blueprint shows what separates developers who succeed from those who flame out.00:00 Welcome & Introduction02:05 First Commercial Deal at 2708:15 Northpark Village Vision16:30 Details Matter in Design25:45 Ground Leases & Pad Sites33:15 Food Hall Strategy39:53 Pillar Mindset AD (Commercial Break)42:00 Managing Projects & Team53:00 Restaurant Selection Process1:01:30 Lessons from the 2008 Recession About Shavi Mahtani: Founder of Domain Development, commercial real estate developer behind Northpark Village and multiple mixed-use developments reshaping the McAllen/RGV landscape.About us: Bob Lozano is the CEO of F&P Group, a company involved in restaurant management, commercial real estate, and digital marketing.
