Guests:

President Susan Kimball and Board Chair Eustacio Lara are two of the driving forces behind the Dripping Springs Chamber of Commerce—and if you think that just means ribbon cuttings and name tags, think again. Between them, they’ve got a front-row seat to the growth, grit, and growing pains of one of the fastest-evolving communities in the Texas Hill Country.

Susan brings a sharp eye for community connection and the kind of leadership that keeps local businesses not just surviving, but actually working together. Eustacio (Deep Eddy Vodka Tasting Room) pairs that with a grounded, real-world perspective on what it takes to build relationships that matter—whether it’s with small business owners, new residents, or the folks who’ve been here long before Dripping Springs was cool.

Together, they sit at the intersection of business, community, and change—where big ideas meet small-town values. If you want to understand what’s really happening behind the scenes in Dripping Springs—what’s working, what’s not, and where things are headed—these are two people who don’t just talk about it… they help shape it.
