  • It's been a while since I've interviewed a dynamic duo like Katie and Courtney of TheCultureBiz. I was completely blown away with the research, statistics, and overall hype bringing culture back into the workplace. We go through so many interesting topics including the origins of TheCultureBiz, people's identity with their workplace, the relationship of having a little fun and productivity, and what our interpretation of "Shamoobleebop" is.

    Katie and Courtney know their business like the back of their hand. It's no wonder they've had success in it with their background in facilitating and consulting teams through play and connections as well as a history of creating culture rituals that stick starting as a summer camp Director.

    TheCultureBiz also wants to spread the word about their business by giving a 20% discount to Big Locals Podcast listeners! Type in "BIGLOCALS20" for 20% off your first CultureCrate or RetreatCrate. Honestly, I'll get one just for my next family reunion.

  • This is not your average family-run business, the Ayers family likes to kick it up a notch with their line of hot sauces from Oso Rojo! With a tagline of "Flavor Before Spice", Cam has found a brilliant combination of savory, spice, and just above-and-beyond flavor with every bottle created.

    Cam and Duane are so laid back and love what they do. It's not often you find a bottle of hot sauce that goes on almost anything (I finished the bottle within 1 week)! Their main line of sauces are some of my favorites, including Umami Bomb, Jalapeno Garlic, Orange Ginger, and Habanero Mustard.

    NOT ONLY THAT! But Cam has some excellent collaborations with Weldwerks, O'dell Brewing Company, and Cerebral. Be sure to check them out at places like the Cupboard in Fort Collins and several other stores selling your local faves, or go visit Cam and Duane at the Farmer's Markets! That's where I met them first.
