    Palmr- Nick and Rebecca Roccanti

    My guest this week was Nick and Rebecca Roccanti, the founders of Palmr.  Palmr is a Florida family-style clothing brand. Premium clothing made for real life — coordinating looks for every member of the crew, built for the Florida heat and the way Florida families actually live. Raising two T1D warriors in Orlando, they wanted family clothing that actually felt like it was made for the life they live. Premium without being stuffy. Coordinated in a way that the whole family actually asks for. Built for Florida heat and real days.  I spoke with Nick about owning Threadbird -an Apparel and merchandise company providing custom screen printing, embroidery, and design services, and being a merch expert for 20+ Years, and what he has learned now, being a small clothing brand owner, and how his experience running Palmr helps him with other small businesses they work with.    Was great listening to Nick and Rebecca share their journey running the brand, and how it started and where it’s going.   Lunch with Biggie is a podcast about small businesses and creatives sharing their stories and inspiring you to pursue your passion, with some sandwich talk on the side.

    Pitch-A-Friend Orlando

    My guests this week were Kelsey Fuller, Elena Vaamonde, and Jordan Owen of Pitch-A-Friend Orlando, where they are bringing real-life singles events to Orlando, where a friend can showcase their awesome single friend in a short slide deck at local bars and breweries for others to meet singles.   I got to learn more about how Kelsey, Elena, and Jordan got involved with Pitch a Friend Orlando and why they decided to bring it to Orlando. Pitch a Friend is now in 50 US Cities and 12 international Cities.   We talked about the importance of In Real Life events and how this is a great structured activity, great after this post Covid time of meeting people.  They shared with me what happens at a Pitch a Friend event, and we even went over the Green and Red Flags on pitching your friend to others. Great time chatting with the 3 of them, and excited they are in Orlando doing their thing and introducing other singles.   Lunch with Biggie is a podcast about small businesses and creatives sharing their stories and inspiring you to pursue your passion, with some sandwich talk on the side.

    Pacchioni World Inspired Cheesesteaks - Daniel Pacchioni

    My guest this week is Daniel Pacchioni- the owner of Pacchioni World Inspired Cheesesteaks Food Truck- a creative who took the soul of Philadelphia and sent it on a global journey of flavors around the world- now he’s cooking up flavors from Philly, Jamaica, Korea, Japan, Colombia, France, and Italy.  All because he would enjoy cheesesteaks with his fiancé’s family during Eagles games and wanted to elevate the cheesesteak. Daniel and I spoke about how he is a creative but not a chef, and it took the help of a Michelin Chef, Michael Collantes, to make this idea come to life. (And I am glad he did)  We talked about everything from the menu and the cheesesteaks to how he got started and what he plans for this world-inspired cheesesteaks.  Lunch with Biggie is a podcast about small businesses and creatives sharing their stories and inspiring you to pursue your passion, with some sandwich talk on the side.
