Welcome to our inaugural episode of Move the Needle, recorded in front of a live studio audience at Vero Chicago Pizza in Ahwatukee.
We sat down with Alex Mejia, the restaurant's owner and operator, to discuss culture, how they deal with staffing issues, and their delicious cauliflower crust pizza.
Then, we had a great conversation with Jim Prueter, an automotive and travel writer, about our first cars, the most overrated brands, and the current state of electric and hydrogen vehicles.
Our Move the Needle feature interview was with Brooke Beardall, who started Holy Yoga and now has a new adventure called Sugar Magnolia Mushrooms. It was an enlightening conversation about the power of microdosing her proprietary blend of Albino Penis Envy and Albino Avery++.
We invite you to join our next podcast taping, so please make sure you follow us on our social media platforms.
