5 New Things NWA Food Trucks

About this Episode: The pandemic has been delayed or postponed a lot over the last 20 months and today’s episode is no exception. We originally sat down with Alex Holder English, Public Relations and Marketing Specialist with XNA Northwest Arkansas National Airport, in February 2020. Rob Smith from the NWA Council joined us as well. We had a great conversation about the growth and trajectory of the airport and the region as a whole. We planned to release that episode but then air travel around the nation ground to a halt so we decided to delay the release of this episode.  Fast forward 20 months and we found time to sit down with Alex and discuss some of the changes to air travel and updates that have been made at the airport including the upcoming airport expansion and facelift that will make it easier to enter the terminal from the parking lot and parking garage.  If you’ve ever had a question about the airport or what airlines will be coming our way - We’re looking at you Southwest - this is the podcast episode to listen to.  Alex doesn’t disappoint.

5 New Things We Are Excited about in Northwest Arkansas - Taquerias

About this Episode:  We recently sat down with Daymara Baker of Rockin Baker to learn more about her transition from Corporate America to starting an Artisan Bakery in Fayetteville.   Daymara decided that she wouldn’t play around, and she attended the San Francisco Baking Institute to learn how to bake artisan bread.  And, if that wasn’t enough, Daymara apprenticed in a Cincinnati bakery to learn what it was like to work in and run a commercial bakery. Her passion and desire to be successful ran so deep that even the person running the Baking Institute in SF took her under his wing to help guide her as she got Rockin Baker off the ground.  In addition to many experts in the baking field, Daymara connected with local entrepreneurs Hannah Withers and her husband Ben Gitchel, former owners of the Little Bread Company and current owners of Leverett Lounge and Maxine’s Tap Room,  to get some advice for starting Rockin Baker based on her dream to create a positive work environment and create an opportunity for young people to work in the bakery and learn how to move forward in their careers and in life.   Daymara is on to something and has figured out a way to make great bread and build a Social Enterprise in the process.  The sourdough bread and the Jalapeño Bread are worth the price of admission. They even have a Bread Club at Rockin Baker, where you can order a couple of fresh loaves every week.        Please consider visiting Daymara and her team and tell them that the good folks at I am Northwest Arkansas sent you!

Rejoicy creates digital storefronts and websites for small businesses while providing an online marketplace for the community to shop locally online.

Edwin talks about his arrival in NWA at the age of 15 and how working with Fortune 500 firms had prepared him to venture out on his own to start a business. He is not alone and has an outstanding team of folks helping him position Rejoicy as an efficient e-commerce platform for local companies. With Rejoicy, the barrier to entry for setting up an e-commerce page or website is as easy as texting some information to the platform.

Women-Run with Meredith Lowry

About the Show:                          This week we sit down with Anthony Sumlin. Anthony is one of the first friends that our host Randy made in Northwest Arkansas when he moved here back in 2014. They both attend https://www.newlifechurch.tv/campus/fayetteville (New Life Church in Fayetteville). Anthony works at Sam's Club and is quite involved in the NWA Community. His involvement with https://www.sonamusic.org/ (SoNA) and the https://www.nwahomepage.com/single-parent-scholarship-fund-of-northwest-arkansas/ (Single Parent Scholarship Fund of NWA) is an example of how relationships can lead to many opportunities. Anthony has introduced the I am Northwest Arkansas podcast to many of his friends and several organizations that have been guests on the podcast.   Since Anthony had been instrumental in helping us tell a lot of stories about what makes NWA such a great place to live, we would turn the tables on him and have him on the show to tell his story.  And, it’s an interesting one for sure.

In this World and In Northwest Arkansas Relationships Are Everything!

About the Show:                           Originally from Michigan, Keaton Smith came to the University of Arkansas for school and never left.  He came with a curiosity for what it would be like to live in the South, and now, with a wife and a young daughter, Keaton feels genuinely at home here.  Keaton has a heart for housing and sustainability, and his efforts on a professional and personal level prove this. He is currently a VP with IberiaBank, soon to be First Horizon, and he is on the Board for Partners for Better Housing for the last ten years.  Keaton is excited about the initiatives taking place by many local corporate citizens, including Walmart but he says there is still so much work to be done. For the past three years, Keaton has also served as a Board Member for the Fayetteville Public School system. Curiosity, Patience, Empathy, and Action, are four attributes that drive Keaton daily.  Check out this episode to hear why.   All this and more on this episode of I am Northwest Arkansas.
