Welcome to digital craftsman daily (semi-weekly)*! A podcast featuring a little bit of everything from my life, what I'm working on, podcasts & music I'm listening to, and movies & shows I'm watching. I'll also be getting into the local podcasts I'm currently helping produce. This will also be a learning experience for me. I've never produced a regular semi-weekly podcast & I've never just talked all by myself on a mic. I appreciate you taking your time to listen & I hope you enjoy the show! ✌️ 

Today on the Speak Spokane I am joined by Tony Epefanio with Mixed Plate, the Greater Spokane Food Trucks Association.

We talk about starting the Greater Spokane Food Trucks Association. Early in the 2010’s Tony and a number of independent Spokane food trucks got together and created the GSFTA. The goal of their association being to continuously advocate, promote and encourage the growth of food trucks in our Spokane & Coeur d’Alene community.

We also talk about the non-profit GSFTA Gives Back directly supports Food Trucks Feed Our Future which helps provide hot meals and makes basic resources accessible to the homeless youth in the Greater Spokane area.
