We Are All Saltwater with Nancy Yankovic | Episode 32 of Heavy Lifts Podcast

This week, Nat and Makayla sit down with former 45th Parallel Building Tennant, Nancy Yankovic, about the incredible growth of her wellness clinic, Saltwater Wellness. From moving within six weeks from Alaska to North Portland, to being inspired by an Ed Sheeran song to make the leap to opening her own clinic, and her incredible passion for individual wellness, this episode really shines on what a driven powerhouse Nancy is. This is such a fun and educational episode with Nancy. You're going to learn a lot! Connect with us!

Pivot, Persist, and Snack with Daren Patera | Episode 29 of Heavy Lifts Podcast

This week, Nat and Makayla sit down with Daren Patera, tenant, friend, and one of the most genuinely positive people in the building! Daren is the co-founder (with business partner Brian) of Rapid Print Solutions, a Salem-based printer supply and service company that they've operated since 2003. But that's only half the story: Daren and Brian also launched Oregon Farm Fresh Snacks! They talk about growing up in South Salem, bouncing through three high schools, playing golf instead of football (despite being the biggest high school football player in the state of Oregon), getting an MBA and law degree at Willamette University, and how a chance meeting in a crowded auditorium turned into a two-decade business partnership. Plus: surviving the franchise world, navigating the Amazon algorithm, what it's like to pivot from ink cartridges to snack mixes, and how Daren manages to walk through the halls smiling after everything life has thrown at him.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
