#71 Building a Bamboo Oasis in Paso Robles w/ Xavier Villa | Paso Robles Podcast

In Episode #71 of the Paso Robles Podcast, I sit down with Xavier Villa from @pasobamboo to talk about entrepreneurship, family, creativity, and building something truly unique in Paso Robles. What started as a bamboo privacy business has evolved into something much bigger — including their new immersive farm dinner experience, Experiencia Bamboo. After personally attending one of their intimate multi-course dinners, I can honestly say it felt like stepping into a movie scene. From the bamboo groves and live music to the local wine pairings and handcrafted atmosphere, the entire experience leaves a lasting impression. We also talk about how Paso Bamboo was built from the ground up, the story behind their family farm, the benefits of bamboo privacy screening, and why creating meaningful experiences for people matters so much to Javier and his family. If you love local stories, entrepreneurship, beautiful spaces, and seeing people build something with real passion behind it — this episode is for you. 🌿 Follow Paso Bamboo: Instagram: @pasobamboo Website: PasoBamboo.com 🍽️ Ask about their new immersive dinner experience: Experiencia Bamboo 🎙️ Hosted by Miguel Nunez Produced by EZF Media, LLC #PasoRobles #PasoRoblesPodcast #PasoBamboo #ExperienciaBamboo #CentralCoast #Entrepreneurship #FarmDinner #Bamboo #SmallBusiness #LocalBusiness

#68 Dental Health, Denti-Cal & Access to Care w/ Dr. Kushan Azad | Paso Robles Podcast

In this episode of the Paso Robles Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Kushan Azad of CaliDental to talk about the real importance of dental health and why access to care matters more than most people realize. Despite a few camera glitches (we kept it rolling — the message matters), Dr. Azad breaks down how oral health connects to your overall health, why routine visits are critical, and what’s really happening behind the scenes with Denti-Cal and access to dental care in California. I also didn’t realize just how many locations they operate — and how focused they are on serving underserved communities. This is an important conversation for anyone with a family, kids, or anyone who’s been putting off going to the dentist. 🌐 Learn more about CaliDental: https://www.calidentalsmiles.com/ [https://www.calidentalsmiles.com/] 🎙️ Paso Robles Podcast is produced by EZF Media, LLC #PasoRoblesPodcast #DentalHealth #DentiCal #HealthcareAccess #CentralCoast Hashtags

#67 Building Dreams in Paso Robles w/ Nishmel Sonora | Paso Robles Podcast

In this episode of the Paso Robles Podcast, I sit down with Nishmel “Nish” Sonora, an entrepreneur building her future in Paso Robles while raising a young family. Originally from Mexicali, Nish shares her journey of moving to the Central Coast, learning English through real-life experience, and starting two growing businesses — mini pancakes and balloon event decorations. We talk about taking chances, meeting the right people along the way, balancing motherhood with entrepreneurship, and how sometimes the best opportunities come from simply asking. Nish’s story is a reminder that growth doesn’t always follow a perfect plan — sometimes you just start, trust the process, and keep going. 📍 Follow Nish: Instagram: @mini_pancakes05 Instagram: @lamorena_events 🎙️ Paso Robles Podcast is produced by EZF Media, LLC #PasoRoblesPodcast #PasoRobles #CentralCoastBusiness #WomenInBusiness #EntrepreneurStory
