b'New Seasons Market is a specialty grocer that focuses on well sourced, quality foods with a focus on local providers whenever possible. Building trust in their stores is job one. Lori Hunter is the local founder for New Seasons, who not only sources local foods, but also puts on events for the company. Formerly with Williams-Sonoma, Lori not only has a palette, but an eye for the kitchen and what an ideal one should be. She has spotted many now-successful food products, such as Jacobsen Salt, and has been a big part of making them successful through promotion at New Seasons. Lori tries to eliminate all obstacles to startup founders, and if you have a food idea you think is hot, you can fill out a simple online form and drop your product off at headquarters. Lori always meets the entrepreneurs face to face and goes to their company to really understand their dream. Trusting the New Seasons brand means trusting Lori, and that is an easy thing to do.\\n\\n"Masoni and Marshall the meaningful Marketplace" with your hosts Sarah Masoni and Sarah Marshall\\n\\nWe record the "the Meaningful Marketplace" inside NedSpace in the Bigfoot Podcast Studio in beautiful downtown Portland.\\n\\nAudio engineer, mixer and podcast editor is Allon Beausoleil\\n\\nShow logo was designed by Anton Kimball of Kimball Design\\n\\nWebsite was designed by Cameron Grimes\\n\\nProduction assistant is Chelsea Lancaster\\n\\n10% of gross revenue at Startup Radio Network goes to support women entrepreneurs in developing countries thru kiva.org/lender/markgrimes\\n\\nListen to the "Masoni and Marshall the meaningful marketplace" live on-air every Friday at 9:00am pacific time on Startup Radio Network at startupradionetwork.com'
