Happenings Podcast with Lucas Spinosa

Lucas Spinosa joined me for a big, wide-ranging conversation that covered everything from Facebook comments to local politics to where to find the best gnocchi.

Highlights

• Engaging with your audience. Lucas was impressed by how much time I spend replying to comments on every platform. We talked about why it matters, the time it takes, and how restaurants can do it better, even just with a reply that says "thanks for coming in."
• Community action. Lucas shared a local climate event where people didn't just complain, but sat in groups and wrote down what they'd actually do.
• Running for office. How representation works at the city, regional and provincial levels, and how many people you have to reach as you go up.
• The restaurant business. Building a lunch menu people can afford to come back to every day, and what makes a meal feel worth the price.
• Food recommendations. Including a ricotta-based gnocchi tip I had to go try.

A great listen for anyone who runs a local business or cares about their community. Cheers, Lucas.
