Welcome to episode 110 of We Eat Stuff and Talk About Things

Our interview today is Corey Smale, one of the owners of Good Fortune, and all around very interesting person.

This is our second podcast with Corey. You can go way back to episode number 27 to hear about what Corey was up to back then.

Today though, we're diving deep into the world of social media and how it’s been affecting what we do. He mentions how business ownership has really made him take a look and his life and determine what his priorities are, so that he can remain as human as possible.

We’re also excited to share the news about a new endeavor Corey is starting with local restaurant superstars Ben Poremba and Zoe Robinson. The three of them have teamed up to start a restaurant pr firm called Hellion.

Check out all the exiting deets that Corey has to share about that! Congratulations, guys!

Thanks for listening and please enjoy our conversation with Corey Smale!
