Purposely Local

By Daniel Salcedo

This is the podcast about the uniqueness of local shops, local businesses, and local ideas that are shaping the new world.

This is not the place to hear what these businesses are about or how these businesses are doing.

This is the place to listen to the reasons why they exist.

It is "purpose," and it is "local". All in the same podcast.

Daniel Salcedo, entrepreneur, content creator, and local business supporter hosts conversations with the main characters of the local communities, shops, businesses, and ideas that are making the world a better place.
