Small Business Sips

Hello! Welcome to the 5th episode of Season 2 of Small Business Sips the podcast. In today's episode, I had the joy of talking to Staley of Staley the Pearl, a Central Coast painter who loves to be around the pool. Staley tells me her story of how she went from being a social worker to becoming exclusively an artist, she tells me about what brought her to California from her home in Tennessee, she even tells me about how she never wanted to be an artist (crazy right?). A key aspect of Staley's art is that she reuses and recycles whenever she can and I think that's a lesson we can all learn. Grab your favorite beverage and take a listen! Cheers!

Hello! Welcome to the 4th episode of season 2 of Small Business Sips the Podcast. In this episode, I had the privilege of interviewing Isaac and Jaydy, two of the owners of Third Wheel Tours. Third Wheel Tours is a wine tour in Paso Robles with a twist. They take you on a one-of-a-kind ride with them in a motorcycle sidecar while stopping at some of Paso's greatest wineries. The guys talked about their pasts and how it has shaped them into the business owners they are today. They also talked about the other business they run on top of everything else they do. But we will learn more about that later this season when they came back to tell that story. They also talk about how, even if you are the underdog, you are capable of doing incredible things and don't let anyone or anything stop you from doing what you are passionate about. Grab your favorite beverage and take a listen! Quick disclaimer on this episode: we were trying out new equipment and had some audio issues so you will hear some audio come in and out but we did try our best in post to fix it. We should have everything up and running smoothly by the next episode. Thank you for understanding.
