Get ready, because we’re starting 2022 off with a bang! Local legend, Edgar Snyder, is on the program. I also recorded the show’s first “live audience” episode featuring food entrepreneur, Corry Smith, owner of CorEats. I wanted to try something new this season, so I invited several popular guests back onto the show to mix things up in a group discussion format. And, I plan to drop my recent interview on the “Evolution of Brand” podcast as a bonus in the feed. So, stay tuned and enjoy the ride with Season 8.
Hello, Pittsburgh. I’m excited to introduce a brand-new season for you – and it’s jam-packed with unique episodes and bonus content. Season 8 has been an incredible one for me to record and produce, and I can’t wait to share the full episodes with you.
I had the great honor and privilege of interviewing attorney, Edgar Snyder - a person that I admire for the firm he has built, the trail he has blazed, and the philanthropic work he has done in Pittsburgh. I’ve been watching Edgar Snyder on TV since I was a kid, and I’m sure many of you have as well. I know everyone in Pittsburgh knows who Edgar is, but you may not know his personal journey and what he had to go through in order to build his firm. He shares that story plus a whole lot more in his candid interview with me for the podcast.
Just before the holidays, I recorded my first “live audience” podcast with Corry Smith, owner of CorEats. We held the event at Café Conmigo in Wexford. Corry is a thoughtful and energetic business owner with a tremendous origin story, and I had a wonderful time interviewing her for the show. You’ll definitely want to make sure that you catch this debut “live” episode.
It was a real pleasure to have some prior guests come back onto the program for a group discussion, which is a new format that I decided to try for this season. The first group includes Matt Marietti, owner of de Fer Coffee & Tea, Fiore Moletz, co-owner of Burgh’ers Brewing, and John Vella, owner of The John Vella Salon. And the second session features Kristen Ricupero, owner of Financial Fitness Coaching, Wendy Gilch, owner of SellingLater.com, and Jessie Tait, owner of Enspra. In these small business roundtable discussions, we cover the latest developments in their businesses, what’s happened since they were last on the show, dealing with the constantly evolving covid situation, and a variety of other business topics and ideas.
In addition to all of this, I was recently a guest on the “Evolution of Brand” podcast, which is a new show created, produced, and hosted by Jason Cercone. In our conversation, we talked a lot about podcasting, marketing, and creating a niche for your content and business. I plan to drop this interview as a bonus in the feed. So, if you’ve been curious to know more about my reasons for creating the Proprietors of Pittsburgh Podcast and some of the strategy behind it, then you’ll want to check this one out.
I’d like to thank all of you for helping this podcast experience incredible growth in 2021, and I can’t wait to see where things go in 2022. I know we’re starting off right with this blockbuster season.
