Our Story
We're Jim & A.Ron, the founders of Four Lights, LLC. We've been making podcasts over at Bald Move with a spirit of independence and honesty since 2011. From our beans to our roast, that same spirit is what powers Four Lights.
From Bald Move to Four Lights
We've always enjoyed a fine glass of bourbon at Bald Move. So when we decided to do consumables, naturally that was our first thought. It might surprise you to find out that getting permission to distill and ship hard liquor isn't trivial. We knew it wouldn't be, but we hadn't realized just how impossible a task it was. So we pivoted to our other favorite beverage. Coffee.
We met our roaster, Zach, through podcasting. He showed up to one of our live events and mentioned that he likes to roast coffee. Several months later, as the idea of creating coffee was percolating at Bald Move, we realized that he was significantly underselling his involvement in the coffee scene. In fact, he makes the best cup I've ever tasted and runs his own subscription coffee operation. So we asked if he'd be interested in showing us around. After visiting Zach's independent roasting operation in Indianapolis, IN, we knew we had found a partner.
