Vicinity Podcast

Vicinity is a podcast about small businesses, neighborliness, and the magic of being, well, in the vicinity of other creative and passionate humans. In each episode, the host, Ari Takata-Vasquez, interviews a creative guest to find out what their journey has looked like (spoiler, it’s not linear), how they stay in it when things get tough, and most importantly, what brings them joy. Ari uses her unique background as a small business owner, design, and artist to connect topics ranging from architecture, inspiration, good governance, vulnerability, and urban design. From each discussion, we pull out the gems and give you ideas you can put into practice.
