EP-101 Michael Salvatore of Heritage Bicycles
Today\u2019s guest is Michael Salvatore of Heritage Bicycles in Chicago. He\u2019s an entrepreneur with a sort of gutsy, intuitive, creative approach to creating things like bike shops, cafes, and other community-oriented places in the city that I\u2019ve grown to love as a customer, and admire as a small business owner.\xa0 He\u2019s one of those people that you start chatting with over coffee and walk away with some new insight into your own life and work without even realizing it. At least, that\u2019s what happens to me when I talk to him. And I finally realized how valuable that was \u2014 so I decided to bring him in to the studio and record just such a conversation to share with you all.\xa0 While his focus is on bikes and coffee, he\u2019s quite connected to the craft beer world here in Chicago. We have a ton of friends in common and he\u2019s always pitching new ideas that are relevant to the beer world too. So I think you\u2019ll take a lot away from this.\xa0 And if not, well, you\u2019ll at least know a lot about one of Chicago\u2019s up-and-coming business people, and you\u2019ll probably be inspired to pay them a visit.
