🥯✨ NEW EPISODE: The Baker with a Bigger Purpose ✨🥯

What started as a simple introduction through a fellow Chamber member turned into a friendship, a partnership, and a shared passion for giving back.

In this episode, I sit down with Kim, Kimberly Whisenhunt, the incredible owner of Blue Heron Bagels. While she is known for her delicious homemade sourdough bagels (and nearly 40 flavors!), what inspires me most is her heart. Every single month, Kim donates HALF of her proceeds to a local nonprofit organization, proving that a small business can make a huge impact.

We talk about her journey as a baker, her commitment to serving others, and how our shared desire to support the community led to Bakers Give Back—an event where local bakers come together to raise money for nonprofits through the love of baking. Thanks to Kim's leadership and generosity, we've already hosted two events together and look forward to many more.

And yes, we also talk bagels. 🥯 My current favorite? Her protein bagel!

This conversation is a reminder that success isn't just about what you make—it's about what you give.

🎙️ Listen now and meet the baker whose purpose is so much bigger than bagels.
