Silicon Florist 🌹 Easy listening issue 🎧
Issue 610
Editor’s note: It was a weird week that flew by without a single post published on Silicon Florist. But I did have a couple of recent local podcast appearances that dropped, so I’m sharing those.
Pro tip: These also double as a sleep aid thanks to my monotonous voice.
The Shades of Entrepreneurship podcast
This episode focuses on PIE, founders, mentorship, and community.
Have you ever had a business idea that you needed help building? Listen in as I welcome Rick Turoczy, the General Manager of PIE, who has been working with people who are just starting the companies they want to build.

Snowshoe Spark Plug podcast
This episode touches on startups, as well, but also spends time exploring diversity and the future of Portland, including embracing ridiculous decisions.

Rick has contributed heavily to the tech scene in the Pacific Northwest and beyond, and joins Spark Plug to talk about startup formation, diversity in startups, startup heartaches, startup triumphs, and startup successes.
