S4.EP14 - Harlingen’s Jose Longoria: Podcast Pizza Party

Have you had one of Jose’s pizzas?? We met Jose Longoria with @LongoriaPizzeria at The Market at Wild August a couple years ago and we’ve been hooked on his sourdough pizzas ever since. If you’ve had one, you know exactly what we’re talking about. His grows his own herbs, cold presses his own tomato sauce, and makes his own sourdough. Beyond his pizzas, Jose is a cool guy who always works to give his best and make the most of what he’s got. We had a great time getting to pick his brain a little bit and see what it’s like to work the local market scene and make a living for yourself. Don’t forget to follow @longoriapizzeria to see when and where his next local market appearance will be! Remember: your money always matters.

S4.EP12 - South Padre Island’s Tiffany Zhou & Caleb B.

This week we’re at SPI! (Heads Up: Surprise at the end!) A lot of our listeners feel that it’s tough to find fun things to in the Rio Grande Valley, so we went out and met up with Tiffany Zhou and Caleb Brandalise to give you guys even better access to the RGV’s #1 attraction: Beautiful South Padre Island, home of the best beaches in Texas. Tiffany and Caleb have been working hard across Port Isabel and South Padre Island to bring us the very best BnB experience that our RGV coast has to offer, so it was fun to hang out and get to know them a little better at the CosmicCactus BnB. We talked about their experience exploring the island, what attracted them to the 956, and how the island compares to the other major destinations they’ve explored around the world. We also got to pick their brains a little bit on how they were able to make this all happen. Huge thanks to Tiffany and Caleb with @cosmiccactusbnb for the awesome experience and for their gift to us all with their CosmicCactus Discount Code: Enter code RGP10 for 10% off your next stay at any of their SPI/Port Isabel locations.
