  • Anna Maria Florio WINs by pivoting during a pandemic

    Send us Fan Mail

    Welcome to W.I.N. (what's important now?) - the entrepreneurial podcast where we dive into business challenges, achievements, and opportunities!

    Join your host, Ian Richardson, from Richardson & Richardson Consulting as he explores what entrepreneurs care about and focus on. This week, Ian hosts Anna Maria Florio, the owner of La Cucina at the Market.

    ANNA MARIA FLORIO, the owner of La Cucina at the Market, is a Philadelphia native and the daughter of Italian-born parents from the Campania region of Italy. Her family brought rich traditions of la cucina with them when they emigrated to Philadelphia in the 1960s. Anna grew up speaking Italian in a family where the kitchen was the center of the house. When people came together in their home there was always something cooking. In 2000 she accepted an invitation to join Temple University Center City (“TUCC”) as an Italian language instructor and began to share her Italian heritage with the Philadelphia community. Anna wanted to recreate and share the experience of her own family kitchen directly with her students as teaching tool.

    In 2004 Anna approached the Director of the Continuing Education Department at TUCC, about developing a series that combined food and language. TUCC’s first Italian cooking/language class, entitled “Mangiamo in Italiano” was a hit! Several years later with increased interest in all things food, it was the right time for the birth of La Cucina at the Market. Anna approached management at Reading Terminal Market, with the idea of having a space exclusively dedicated to cooking education and culinary demonstration. The enthusiasm was contagious and the process began.

    After 7 years at RTM, it seemed like time for a change. Anna found a wonderful new home in Market East. On July 17, 2016, 1206 Arch Street opened its doors to old and new friends and the tradition resumed. Each month brings new and interesting class options and a breadth of opportunities for culinary activities.

    Welcome to W.I.N. (what's important now?) - the entrepreneurial podcast where we dive into business challenges, achievements, and opportunities!

    Join your host, Ian Richardson, from Richardson & Richardson Consulting as he explores what entrepreneurs care about and focus on. This week, Ian hosts Laura Biggerstaff from IRON ELK.

    Laura Biggerstaff is the owner of IRON ELK, a family-owned safety products company headquartered in Greer, SC. We recognize that when it comes to safety apparel, one size does not fit all! 

    Following a successful career in the manufacture of protective apparel, Laura launched her own business in 2016 in the field of safety in the workplace. There was a need in the industry to have safety apparel that fits both men and women. IRON ELK has partnered with manufacturers that have expanded their safety apparel to include sizing for women. IRON ELK is very proud to be a Certified Woman-Owned Small Business (WBENC). 

    As a huge supporter of women in the trades, Laura offers her time to several groups that support the importance of encouraging young women to take on non-traditional roles. Laura is the co-founder of Women Confidence Builders in the Upstate of South Carolina. Our Mission is to Educate, Mentor, Disciple, and Empower women and girls while encouraging their growth and building confidence.

    Welcome to W.I.N. (what's important now?) - the entrepreneurial podcast where we dive into business challenges, achievements, and opportunities!

    Join your host, Ian Richardson, from Richardson & Richardson Consulting as he explores what entrepreneurs care about and focus on. This week, Ian hosts Steve Taylor from RocketMSP.

    Steve is an IT Professional who has launched and run two successful businesses since age 25. After running his own successful MSP for 7 years he launched RocketMSP to educate MSPs the products that are available to them and how to use them better. 

    He enjoys the challenge of working with smaller firms and startups and loves helping the underdog. When someone comes to Steve with a story about how he has given them the strength to start their own MSP, showed them a new way to provide a service, or helped them save money somehow, he gets totally pumped. 

    Steve built his businesses from nothing, and knows how hard it can be to start and grow a business when you've got no money, no help, and the odds are not stacked in your favor. He is proud to be able to help his clients enjoy the same success that he has been able to achieve.

    Welcome to W.I.N. (what's important now?) - the entrepreneurial podcast where we dive into business challenges, achievements, and opportunities!

    Join your host, Ian Richardson, from Richardson & Richardson Consulting as he explores what entrepreneurs care about and focus on. This week, Ian hosts Andrew McIntosh, Founder of 1st Generation Entrepreneurs.

    Andrew is a life-long tech enthusiast turned entrepreneur. For over 20 years he has been helping people overcome their business challenges through the effective use of technology. 

    In 2006 he founded an IT company as a one-man show, built it up over a period of 15 years, and ultimately sold it in 2021. This journey brought him a wealth knowledge and experience that can't be taught in schools.

    His mission now is to help other entrepreneurs (especially 1st Gen's, like himself) avoid many of the common mistakes that would set them back or put them at a disadvantage. 

    He's doing that by building a community that connects likeminded people, where they can all help each other overcome challenges and accelerate growth. You can learn more about it by visiting 1stGen.biz
