Leonard Firestone

Leonard Firestone co-founded Firestone & Robertson Distilling Co with Troy Robertson which included two signature products, TX Whiskey and TX Bourbon. He shares with Jamey how they quickly scaled to become the largest American whiskey distillery west of the Mississippi and one of the biggest brands to come out of Fort Worth. After selling to a multinational wine and spirits company, Pernod Ricard, Leonard was asked to serve on a COVID-19 task force by former Mayor Betsy Price. He has since remained active in the community, serving on multiple boards and as a current Fort Worth City Council member.
