Orlando Life- Dave Vanz

My guest this week is Dave Vanz, the Founder & CEO of Orlando Life.  The Orlando Life is an independent local publication dedicated to telling the stories of the people, businesses, and communities that make Orlando home. They focus on real experiences, local perspective, and human storytelling to connect readers more meaningfully to life in this city.

I spent time talking to Dave about how he moved from Detroit, MI to Orlando, FL, and his love for wanting to share the stories of others and be part of the community and share their story.  I spoke with Dave about how he started his own social network called ⁠DetroitCity.com⁠ in Detroit, what he learned from it, and how he has created something in Orlando with ⁠OrlandoLife.com⁠, living in Orlando.

We spoke about what Orlando Life is and what he is looking to build, as well as I asked him what his thoughts were about Orlando and the future of Downtown.  It was a fun conversation, and I love people highlighting the people and places that make Orlando great!

Lunch with Biggie is a podcast about small business and creatives sharing their stories and inspiring you to pursue your passion, with some sandwich talk on the side. Created, edited, and produced in Orlando, FL by Biggie- the owner of the sandwich-themed clothing brand- ⁠⁠Deli Fresh Threads⁠⁠.
