    EP_024 - Justin Forzano of CameroonFDP

    Pittsburgh is home to many non-profits serving communities local, national and world-wide. Justin Forzano is here today talking about the organization he founded, Cameroon FDP, which is making an important local and national impact half-way across the globe in the country of Cameroon. And the best part? He's doing it through developing safe, secure and consistent programs for football (soccer) in a country with a rich football legacy. Have a listen to Justin's story, and if it touches you feel free to reach out to Justin and connect on ways to help. I personally can't wait to see where he takes his organization moving forward as he thinks about how to expand it's footprint!

    EP_023 - Courtney Powell of Kinsman Shop

    In Episode 23 of StartUp Burgh I talk with Courtney Powell. Courtney is the owner and operator of Kinsman Shop, a curated menswear retail shop in the Lawrenceville neighborhood of Pittsburgh. Kinsman is less than a year old, but it serves as a canvas for Courtney as she builds a brand and starts her entrepreneurial journey. Have a listen to Courtney's story - we talk at length about how she got to the point in time where she knew she wanted to open her own shop, and her journey is really very interesting. I think that it could serve to help many of you out there who might now know what kind of journey they want to take.

I also get a chance to talk with Christian Ference (CEO/co-founder) of Cropolis, which is building technology infrastructure that helps food business do business.
