Description
Andy and Rob talk about Cincinnati Bengals stars Joe Burrow and Sam Hubbard's purchase of a farm. An honest-to-God farm. Also, Gen Z is coming to the workforce, and companies have got to do something about it because they're not like previous generations, even those kooky millennials. They also talk about a nonprofit devoted to increasing Black business in OTR, and the funeral of Chef Jean-Robert de Cavel.Interview starts at (22:54). Rico Grant is a serial entrepreneur and something of a Renaissance man. After a gig with GE, he joined Cincinnati startup booster Cintrifuse as a sideways in to learn the ropes of entrepreneurship, and today he is the founder of Paloozanoire – a lifestyle conference focused on enriching the lives of people of color throughout the Midwest – as well as barbershop and art gallery the Gallery at Gumbo and Cinema, a bar that serves as a love letter to Black film. Above the Fold is a podcast by the Cincinnati Business Courier.
