True longevity in business comes from relationships that outlast the hard seasons.
In this episode of Good Nuggets, Fred Rea sits down with Buster Brown, Rain City’s former CFO and one of its first investors. Together, they trace the quiet, steady work that built Rain City from the early scrappy years into the company it is today. Not through hype or shortcuts, but through discipline, humility, and sticking around long enough to matter.
This conversation feels less like a highlight reel and more like two people looking back on a decade of decisions, trust, and growth...the kind of “work that lasts” because it’s been earned day after day.
🎧 Listen to more Good Nuggets for unfiltered conversations about the real side of entrepreneurship: the grind, the growth, and the people who keep showing up, year after year.
Guest: Buster Brown — Retired Rain City CFO. Pragmatic Thinker. Trusted compass and board member extraordinaire.
