Austinites

Samantha Snabes is the co-founder of re:3D, a startup that makes large-scale, industrial-grade 3D printers. The printers have been used to make compost toilets, personal protective equipment during the pandemic, and even for beer taps at a few local breweries.

Samantha and I talk about the origin story of re:3D, how she’s been able to travel all over the world as she and her team have built the company, and about her dream of becoming an astronaut.

Leslie Martin is the owner of Bouldin Creek Cafe which serves wholesome vegetarian and vegan food to Austin.

We talk about the origin story of Bouldin Creek and Leslie shares some hilarious stories of all the things that went wrong in the early days. She talks about her personal background and why she moved to Austin, how she fell in love with the city, and how operating Bouldin Creek in many ways, is her way of trying to maintain that Austin vibe and feeling of community that she cherished so much when she moved here.
