November 09, 2023 Leadership & Emotional Resiliency: Finding the Words with Colin Campbell
On today’s episode of The Tidbit, we don’t want to do “business as usual." With everything transpiring in the world today, between global wars, the rise of hatred and vitriol, and overall mental health crises at an all time high, we thought it important to have a discussion around complex and profound emotions like grief, sorrow and loss. Kim speaks with Colin Campbell, author of Finding The Words, Working Through Profound Loss with Hope and Purpose about his story and his work to make grief less frightening, lonely and mysterious. Colin says that an important part of processing grief is to talk about it with a community that gets it.

On this episode of The Tidbit, Kim speaks with oyster sommelier Julie Qui about why she got interested in oysters, what it took to hone her craft and how she eventually went on to co-found the Oyster Master Guild.

September 28, 2023 Arkansas Entrepreneurship: Agriculture Innovation with Philip Powell
Traversing the U.S. from Mid-Atlantic to the Heartland, you’ll pass by many farms and rural communities. The large majority of these farms are family owned and small to mid-sized operations that don’t see large profits. How might we improve economic conditions, growth opportunities and access to new market channels for these entrepreneurs? On this episode of The Tidbit, Kim speaks with Philip Powell, Assistant Director of Local Affairs and Rural Development with The Arkansas Farm Bureau. He says the future of farming is in innovation.
At the time of this recording Philip worked at ARFB, and has now stepped into a new role where he continues to serve rural communities in Arkansas.

The Tidbit is back! Last season, The Tidbit went on a cross country roadtrip to see how small businesses were innovating and adapting during the COVID-19 public health emergency. The trip was transformative for Kim, and for Cureate, which now has a second hub of operations in Northwest Arkansas. The new season of The Tidbit is going to reflect that expansion, featuring guests from both the Heartland and Mid-Atlantic discussing entrepreneurship with a food and beverage lens. On this first episode, Kim speaks with Philip Adams, Executive Director of FORGE Inc, and entrepreneurship consultant Jeannette Balleza Collins, about building inclusive ecosystems in Northwest Arkansas and how this region is reimagining community based businesses.

October 11, 2021 The Tidbit Takes the Road - Krystal & Patrick, Palace Coffee 📍Amarillo, TX
You are tuning into a special series, The Tidbit Takes the Road. In October 2020 Kim Bryden, CEO of Cureate and Host of The Tidbit, decided to hit the road on a cross-country listening tour to learn more about how non-coastal small businesses and cities had been adapting and innovating. On this episode of The Tidbit Takes the Road, Kim grabs a drink with Palace Coffee co-founders, Krystal & Patrick. It was incredible to hear from these life and business partners how they have managed growth opportunities and challenges, while maintaining their mission of being a place -- both for guests and employees -- of true relationship building. From their website: "Serving coffee is what we do, but creating relationships is why we do it. While we can’t claim to be perfect, we strive to be the best that we can be in our craft, all the while establishing an environment where others can also work towards perfecting their own craft. Our cafes serve as a common ground for much of Amarillo, setting the stage for new ideas and relationships. We believe that local is better and are committed to the greater community outside our doors, taking large efforts to give back as much as we can." Grab a cup of local coffee and tune in!

In October 2020 Kim Bryden, CEO of Cureate and Host of The Tidbit, decided to hit the road on a cross-country listening tour to learn more about how non-coastal small businesses and cities had been adapting and innovating.

Angela Chase is the woman behind the shop that sells her creative and beautiful confections alongside those from a variety of curated local vendors like Lovera’s, Della Terra Pasta, and more. [...] Chase is an essential member of the Paseo Farmers Market board and has worked together with them to bring it to its current success and soon to be new brick-and-mortar space." Angela, Kim and guest host Katie Gage (KG Coaching, Outhome Farm) talk about building business in a values-aligned way, the challenges and opportunities facing small business — particularly women and BIPOC founders, and the chance we have to rebuild new systems that serve us all.
