In this episode, Mikaila Bolzonello joins me as the co-host to discuss our unexpected involvement in The Villager magazine, the challenges we faced, and our approach to the business.

We also talk about our work outside of the magazine, including my marketing company (Lobo Media Marketing), Mikaila's real estate career, and theatre. We open up about our passion for community and the desire to create connections and support through all the projects we're involved in.
