Listen on
Episode notes
Ever wondered how the thrill of slicing through fresh powder can lead to kneading the perfect dough? This episode invites you into the story of Eric, Cyrus, and Koby—three friends whose shared love for skiing and fresh bagels birthed Baby’s Bagels, a warm and welcoming bagel bakery in the heart of Salt Lake City. They recount the transition from snowy slopes to rising dough, and how their vibrant pink sign became a beacon for the community in search of the perfect chew.
Join us as we unwrap the day-to-day of bagel entrepreneurship, from the meticulous art of recipe refinement to the balancing act of maintaining friendships amidst the flour and ovens. Our guests peel back the curtain on the behind-the-scenes ballet of starting a business together—think of it as a "Friends" episode, but with more yeast and fewer coffee cups. Their candid stories of growth, from pop-ups to a brick-and-mortar location, will have you savoring each bite of their journey.
But it's not just bagels and schmear on the menu. We knead into the local political scene, discussing how grassroots movements and recreational interests like skiing shape regional politics. Our guests emphasize the power of community engagement, not just in shaping a successful business, but also in influencing the world outside their bakery doors. So, if you're in the mood for tales of entrepreneurship sprinkled with a bit of civic duty (and perhaps craving a bagel), this episode is freshly baked and ready for you.
