About the Show:We recently sat down with Daymara Baker of Rockin Baker to learn more about her transition from Corporate America to starting an Artisan Bakery in Fayetteville.   Daymara decided that she wouldn’t play around, and she attended the San Francisco Baking Institute to learn how to bake artisan bread.  And, if that wasn’t enough, Daymara apprenticed in a Cincinnati bakery to learn what it was like to work in and run a commercial bakery. Her passion and desire to be successful ran so deep that even the person running the Baking Institute in SF took her under his wing to help guide her as she got Rockin Baker off the ground. In addition to many experts in the baking field, Daymara connected with local entrepreneurs Hannah Withers and her husband Ben Gitchel, former owners of the Little Bread Company and current owners of Leverett Lounge and Maxine’s Tap Room, to get some advice for starting Rockin Baker based on her dream to create a positive work environment and create an opportunity for young people to work in the bakery and learn how to move forward in their careers and in life.  Daymara is on to something and has figured out a way to make great bread and build a Social Enterprise in the process.  The sourdough bread and the Jalapeño Bread are worth the price of admission. They even have a Bread Club at Rockin Baker, where you can order a couple of fresh loaves every week.       Please consider visiting Daymara and her team and tell them that the good folks at I am Northwest Arkansas sent you!All this and more on this episode of I am Northwest Arkansas.Important Links and Mentions on the Show*Email Daymara BakerEmail Rockin' BakerWebsite for Rockin' BakerRockin' Baker on FacebookRockin' Baker on InstagramRockin' Baker on TwitterRockin' Baker on TwitterRockin' Baker on LinkedInThis episode is sponsored by*Signature Bank of Arkansas "Community Banking at its Best!"

About the Show:On this episode of the podcast, we sit down with Edwin Ortiz, one of the founders of Rejoicy.com. Rejoicy creates digital storefronts and websites for small businesses while providing an online marketplace for the community to shop locally online. Rejoicy was born after the pandemic because another business Edwin was part of, Luncher, had to be shelved due to people working from home instead of office buildings. Edwin talks about his arrival in NWA at the age of 15 and how working with Fortune 500 firms had prepared him to venture out on his own to start a business. He is not alone and has an outstanding team of folks helping him position Rejoicy as an efficient e-commerce platform for local companies. With Rejoicy, the barrier to entry for setting up an e-commerce page or website is as easy as texting some information to the platform. There is no excuse to make your products available online or make sure you have a web presence. Hear the whole story in this episode. Edwin provides a lot of good insight and advice. You may want to take some notes.                All this and more on this episode of I am Northwest Arkansas.Important Links and Mentions on the Show*Email Edwin OrtizWebsite for RejoicyRejoicy on InstagramRejoicy on FacebookRejoicy on LinkedInThis episode is sponsored by*Signature Bank of Arkansas "Community Banking at its Best!"

About the Show:This week we sit down with Anthony Sumlin. Anthony is one of the first friends that our host Randy made in Northwest Arkansas when he moved here back in 2014. They both attend New Life Church in Fayetteville. Anthony works at Sam's Club and is quite involved in the NWA Community. His involvement with SoNA and the Single Parent Scholarship Fund of NWA is an example of how relationships can lead to many opportunities. Anthony has introduced the I am Northwest Arkansas podcast to many of his friends and several organizations that have been guests on the podcast.  Since Anthony had been instrumental in helping us tell a lot of stories about what makes NWA such a great place to live, we would turn the tables on him and have him on the show to tell his story. And, it’s an interesting one for sure.All this and more on this episode of I am Northwest Arkansas.Important Links and Mentions on the Show*Email Anthony SumlinAnthony Sumlin on LinkedInNWA Martial Arts Academy This episode is sponsored by*Signature Bank of Arkansas "Community Banking at its Best!"
