Welcome to Building Bellingham. I'm your host, Leo Cohen.
Building Bellingham is a community podcast exploring the stories behind Bellingham's iconic businesses. We bring you honest conversations with local entrepreneurs and business owners, talking about challenges, failures, and the effort it takes to build - and grow - a successful business.
MEDIA KITLeo Cohen is the driving force behind this show and what it has become over the years. He sometimes says that he began the podcast because "I selfishly just wanted to learn" from the experiences of business leaders in our Whatcom County community. Leo is a gifted communicator and welcomes our guests to tell their story in a supportive, relaxed environment. As host, Leo is the face and voice of the show, and he's also involved in all the other aspects that the rest of the crew handles.
Tiffany Holden brings the show together each and every month. From planning branding and marketing changes to sitting down with Leo to map a season's worth of guests, to coordinating the recording sessions and making sure everything goes out on schedule. As editor, she also creates the podcast platform audio cuts of the final episodes.
Cooper Hansley is the show's videographer. From shooting B-roll at the business of the month, to running the camera during the recording session, to editing the final full-length YouTube video, he is in charge of all things video.
Taylor Beal supports the show's community presence, from supporting social media content creation to producing collaborative business-to-business projects.
