These stories are why I continue building Big Locals Podcast!Zach Martinucci, born and raised in a food-centric household in the Bay Area of California, has had an affinity towards baking since his adolescent years. Thanks to his mentor and uncle, he had a solid footing in the baking scene early on, and pursued his passion by going to several renowned places for food including the San Francisco Baking Institute, UCLA, and Bologna, Italy. Growing from a startup of 2 people to now a 22-person staff on payroll, Zach has learned so much in his experience as a leader, baker, and Denver community member. Many of his trials and tribulations are documented in his podcast Against the Grain, where he guides you through his journey developing a bakery, community, and relationship around bread.Interested in the arts and science behind baking?

It's been a while since I've interviewed a dynamic duo like Katie and Courtney of TheCultureBiz. I was completely blown away with the research, statistics, and overall hype bringing culture back into the workplace. We go through so many interesting topics including the origins of TheCultureBiz, people's identity with their workplace, the relationship of having a little fun and productivity, and what our interpretation of "Shamoobleebop" is. Katie and Courtney know their business like the back of their hand. It's no wonder they've had success in it with their background in facilitating and consulting teams through play and connections as well as a history of creating culture rituals that stick starting as a summer camp Director.  TheCultureBiz also wants to spread the word about their business by giving a 20% discount to Big Locals Podcast listeners!

Not many guests on the Big Locals Podcast @biglocalspodcast have made me self reflect like Britt Becton @thebigdale of Arrange. Britt has so much to offer her clients, and she was gracious enough to pour some of her insight into this episode. Her main driver in the design space is efficiency. Britt will help you be more intentional in your living space, with every item having a purpose while losing the clutter. I believe her intentional mindset was taken to the next level after her experience with Jonathan and Shelly, a homeless man and his dog who were going through some tough times. After striking a conversation with Jonathan, Britt believed Jonathan and Shelly deserved a second chance, and her story helping a fellow human in need is one that will melt your heart.
