Big Locals Podcast

Thanks everyone, for all the good times.
The stories, the struggles of starting a business, how you're making a name for yourself in a sea of other driven individuals, it's all in our memory banks and ready to be listened to on the Big Locals Podcast.
However, this isn't the end!
I have started a new podcast called the Invest in Denver Podcast, hosted by yours truly, Ian Jimeno. I'm broadening the guest criteria a tad to include those in the real estate space, from investors, to realtors (I'm a real estate agent myself!), to professionals in the industry who can help YOU with your next home.
I'm ALSO including people within the small business and entrepreneurial journey, along with anyone passionate about the Denver scene, from beer makers, to chefs, to government officials, to magazine editors/writers, to professional athletes, and so on. There's so much to talk about within the Denver community, I have to see it from all walks of life.
With that being said, appreciate you all joining me on this journey. When one door closes, another opens. I'll see you all at Invest in Denver Podcast!

Born of the pandemic season and cultivated as a project to support the Black Lives Matter movement, Jesse Albertini’s creation Sfoglina (@sfoglinadenver) introduces handmade pastas to the community featuring wheat berries grown in the plains of Colorado and Utah.

Sfoglina (meaning a woman who rolls and spreads dough pasta) features several textures and shapes of pasta while experimenting with natural additives such as beets (check out the beautiful beet fusilli)! The heartiness of the pasta has a flavor of its own, but you should browse Jesse’s blog at https://sfoglinadenver.com/blogs/news which provides great recipes for her pastas that enhance the already-bold Italian pastime.

But the conversation is much more than just pasta. We talk about her donations to charity, her support system with her family and with other collaborateurs (is that a word?), and her life as a new mom. Thanks for listening to episode 5 of the Big Locals Podcast (@biglocalspodcast)!

Marketing-director-turned-small-business-owner Virgil Dickerson introduces his latest creation KREAM Kimchi in this episode. His specialty kimchi was first introduced to the world when he bottled up 500 jars of kimchi for his friends (for free!) after capturing the initially undocumented kimchi recipe from his mom.
For those uninitiated with kimchi, kimchi is a natural probiotic vegetable additive to your dishes similar to the German sauerkraut, but with some spice and tanginess. Virgil often says that your gut health is so important, it's like your second brain. Having a probiotic in your daily diet (i.e. yogurt) is like a natural nutritious additive for your stomach.
We also talk about the state of breweries in Denver, his history with record stores and record labels, the antics of touring in Japan and across the United States with bands, so much more!
It was so exciting talking to the man strongly supporting local businesses by spearheading markets all around Denver. These markets, reminiscing of the Asian night markets with food, drinks, and proper people, provide a communal setting for the public and a base for businesses to set up shop and talk about their passion projects.

Matt Dulin, the creator of GetRight’s bakery and plant nursery, loves going against the grain for whatever life throws at him. From running his first marathon in rubber sandals, to buying a one way ticket to Hawaii to work on a coffee farm, Matt has lived a life many deem as nonconforming.

GetRight’s bakery and plant nursery features Semolina sourdoughs, cookies, baguettes, canneles, croissants, croissants, and a plethora of plants for you to take home and enjoy. My favorite portions of the interview include the introspective and thought-provoking questions he asks of himself, which pushes himself that much closer to perfection; however, in his eyes, he only sees glimpses of perfection. There’s always room for improvement.

Enjoy the conversations revolving around his dogs Mochi and Beans, his greenhouse and succulent projects, the interstate biking adventures, “Tour de Compassion”, and the history of how GetRight’s came to be.
