  • Robin & Alexis of SIMBA Talk About What SIMBA Is, Why It Matters, and How You Can Get Involved

    In this very first episode of In the Den — a podcast collaboration between SIMBA and Spokast! — host Brennon sits down with Robin and Alexis of SIMBA to talk about the heart behind the show.


    They dive into what SIMBA stands for (literally and in spirit), how it supports small businesses and entrepreneurs across Spokane and Eastern Washington, and why launching this podcast was the next natural step in lifting up the voices that make our local economy thrive.


    If you’ve ever wondered what SIMBA is all about — or what it means to be part of a growing business community — this is where the journey begins.
