On Episode 9 of the swifTEA Podcast, we're joined by one of the most recognizable faces keeping the Lake of the Ozarks safe, Lake Ozark Police Chief James Boren. From spending more than two decades in law enforcement to becoming the star of A&E's hit series Ozark Law, Chief Boren shares an honest, behind-the-scenes look at what it's really like protecting one of the busiest vacation destinations in the Midwest.

James takes us through his unexpected journey into law enforcement after originally chasing a career in music in Nashville. He reflects on working his way up through dispatch, patrol, investigations, and leadership before becoming Police Chief, while sharing the lessons he's learned about earning respect, building relationships, and leading officers who protect millions of visitors every year. We also dive into what it's like filming Ozark Law, how the cameras capture authentic moments, the funniest interactions with fans, and the unexpected fame that comes from appearing on national television.

We also discuss some of the Lake's biggest challenges, including Fourth of July storms, Memorial Day crowds, fake IDs, underage drinking, public marijuana use, BikeFest, and the constant balancing act of keeping the Strip safe without taking away the fun that makes Lake of the Ozarks such a unique destination. Chief Boren explains how his department works alongside local businesses, event organizers, and community leaders to improve safety while helping the Strip continue to grow into one of Missouri's premier entertainment districts.

Filled with hilarious stories, unforgettable encounters, behind-the-scenes television moments, and an inside look at modern policing, this episode offers a rare perspective on the people behind the badge. Whether you're a fan of Ozark Law, curious about what really happens on the Strip after dark, or simply love hearing stories from the people shaping the future of Lake of the Ozarks, Episode 9 with Police Chief James Boren is one conversation you won't want to miss.

From a family business that dates back to the end of Prohibition to managing one of the region's largest beverage distributors today, Ed shares what it takes to keep millions of beverages moving while navigating an industry that's changing faster than ever before.

Ed takes us behind the scenes of the beer business, explaining how Missouri Eagle has evolved over four generations, what it's like representing one of the world's biggest beverage brands, and how consumer tastes have shifted from traditional beer to craft brews, hard seltzers, ready-to-drink cocktails, non-alcoholic beverages, energy drinks, and even hemp-derived THC products. He also breaks down why bars are so important to the industry, how Missouri's alcohol laws compare to other states, and what really goes into keeping shelves stocked during the Lake's busiest weekends.

We also dive into some of the biggest stories impacting the beverage industry today, including the Bud Light controversy, the challenges of leading through national headlines that affect local businesses, and how distributors adapt when public opinion changes overnight. Ed shares fascinating stories about the iconic Bud Boat, classic Budweiser marketing campaigns, planning months in advance for the Fourth of July rush, and the logistics behind supplying one of the busiest lake destinations in the Midwest.

Filled with behind-the-scenes industry insights, business lessons, fascinating history, and plenty of laughs, this episode offers a rare look inside a family business that's helped shape the Lake of the Ozarks for generations.
