SPEAKERS

Beth Rheingold, Nestor Aparicio

Nestor Aparicio  00:01

Welcome home. We are W, N, S, T am 1570 tasks of Baltimore. We are Baltimore, positive, positively getting the Maryland crab cake tour back out on the road. I swear I’ll have new dates. I’ve been tardy, reluctant, waiting on Oriole playoff dates. I’m making that up. We’re going to have plenty of Maryland crab cake tour stops. All of it brought to you by the Maryland lottery. I have Raven scratch offs give away like the shimmer on these new Raven scratch offs. We will see if we like to shimmer on the season after the Kansas City game here this week, I have old friends, new friends. We love talking about animals around here. We love talking about raising money. We like talking about good causes. And I get to meet cool people. Beth Rheingold is one of those people I met number years ago, running then it was Pikesville, Owings, Mills, racers town, Randallstown, Northwest now the Greater Baltimore Chamber of Commerce. She joins us now to discuss heads and tails, 5k, and doggy dash. That’s a mouthful. I’m going to leave it up to you. How are you? I see you’re, you’ve not quit on your Orioles. I see you’re, you’re watching Bradish and Rogers do their thing here this week.

Beth Rheingold  01:14

Always, always got to see those amazing walk offs in person. So always an O’s fan. Nestor, great to be with you. Thank you for having me back. Well, I always

Nestor Aparicio  01:27

love having you on. And I had Jerry Schlichting on a couple weeks ago. We talked about him. I met you through eating too much food at one of your really nice events where everybody came and ate too much food. Yeah, and I get asked to do that a lot. I’m always honored. I’m always happy to come and eat everybody’s food and rate it fairly, because people know I can’t lie about food either. My my whole tasting this thing with curio wellness last month, we got down the number one, and when I said peach cake was number one at Fenwick bakery, nobody doubted that that’s ever had the peach cake at family bakery. What are you baking up here, because I think with chambers of commerce, with with businesses, local business, and I’ve met you, maybe right, pre covid, and then we went into the whole mess, and we’re coming out of it all these years later, people ask me what I do for a living, and really what I do with Baltimore, positive support, local business, and I am my own little chamber of commerce, My my own little Downtown Partnership, my own little Baltimore committee. You know, all of that in just trying to put this together, where people doing good deeds do good things. And I know you’re always on the forefront of this, because that’s kind of what Chamber of Commerce. I mean, I I talked to Nancy here in Towson, and just around the community, it’s just really important that we get together, whether it’s an Essex day or a heritage fair or a doggy dash, right?

Beth Rheingold  02:45

Yeah, Nestor, you really are your own Chamber of Commerce, and that’s what it’s all about. It’s about partnerships. And you have been with me on my journey with the Chamber of Commerce, as we rebranded from Pikesville Owings Mills to Greater Baltimore Chamber of Commerce, and now we’re expanding to all of Baltimore County. I don’t know if you knew that, but that’s a pretty, pretty exciting journey.

Nestor Aparicio  03:12

Well, I live in Baltimore County, so that’s good,

Beth Rheingold  03:15

yeah, yeah. So this is, this is really very, very exciting. And we’re we’re about what I call and what we call the four C’s, and that is community connections, commerce, and we’ve added the 4c County. So what, what you’re talking about is what we’re all about, and that’s what our heads and tails 5k and doggy dash is about. It’s at Garrison Forest School, October 19. That’s a Sunday. 9am is the 5k 10am is the doggy Dash. And what this event does, it’s our biggest fundraiser for the chamber, but it supports Reed’s rescue, a really wonderful nonprofit partner of ours. And it’s at the gorgeous campus of Garrison Forest School where our vendors in our vendor village can get to interface with participants, with those who are supporting the runners and the Walkers and the doggy Dashers. And it’s just a really wonderful family Morning.

Nestor Aparicio  04:19

Well, I’ve had Kate Bell on the show, talking about, yeah, she’s come out, had a crab cake with me, Coopers north, you know, probably a bowl of gumbo, as I remembered as well. And, and really weirdly, the reed part was her dog was named after Ed Reed. So there’s, like, a whole ravens connection yourself. You know, we’re small tomorrow. We’re all we’re all glued together through this better. Beth Rheingold is here. She and I are glued together through the butternut squash recipe a clean cuisine up in Owings Mills with cherry so give me the doggy part of this. And also, I must say, for all of you in the fundraising space, and I’m. Laughing out loud because it’s the middle of September as we tape this. I’m hoping that the Ravens will be really relevant and awesome. And my birthday is October 14 that week, also John wooden’s birthday, so we celebrate him. But October 19 is I look on my calendar, and you know, my calendar is everything, right? Like, if I look at my calendar, I either can, can’t, might, might not. I’ve learned how to say yes to things like you. I’ve also learned how to say no to things like that. Something’s happening and I can’t do it doesn’t mean my heart’s not into it. I’ll do a segment on anything, and that goes for anybody in the space out there. You want to come on the show. I got plenty of time for everybody. Come on the show and we’ll talk about your charity or whatever your date is, but Sunday, October 19, I have one thing in my calendar that day. It’s Sunday in October. It’s usually a football game. It says ravens bye week. So, and I know all of you charity folks are putting, you know, putting everything into that weekend, because that’s right, it is a weekend when you say, I’m doing something Sunday’s in the fall, and I’m like, you know, I’ve lost out on weddings, bar mitzvahs, birthdays, births, all of that through my ravens first fandom, then professional work, and now, as the you know, outsider looking in, I still like you can’t have things in the middle of a Ravens game, so at least in October 19, you’ve picked a day where nobody’s got anything else to do. So I’m telling you starting with that. So talk, what is this? And it’s a garrison forest in Owings Mills. And it’s, it’s, is this all day? When’s it start in the morning?

Beth Rheingold  06:32

For me, it’s, it’s really all morning. So, um, so our vendors come in pretty, pretty early, as you can imagine, to set up. The 5k takes off at 9am so we really ask everybody to be on campus, you know, no later than, like 830 get their tickets at our tent in our vendor village and and then they take off. It’s a beautiful, winding, hilly course there, there is a challenge hill. We call it hot dog Hill. And we’ve had some, some fun sort of pre, pre race day events involving hot dog Hill and some really cute dachshunds, which are the hot dogs, you know, and, and that’s been really adorable, but, but the race is for serious runners, walkers, somebody who just wants to, you know, take a morning walk through the garrison forest campus. It’s so beautiful, and we love our partnership with Garrison forest because people who don’t usually get to get on the campus get to enjoy the campus on this beautiful fall morning, we have not been rained out for years. So of course, it’s not going to rain on Sunday, October 19, and then the festivities continue. At 10am we have the doggy dash, and that is just so much fun. It’s a really quick doggy dash. Folks who bring their dogs get to run around this track twice with their dogs, and it’s just so much fun. We have a kids village too, so that’s really the bulk of the morning. We’ve got food trucks. We’ve got kids activities with Mr. Moo and, you know, the whole shebang, Nestor, you

Nestor Aparicio  08:18

get home in time for kickoff at one o’clock anyway that day. Like I’m looking at the games that day there, you know, Steelers play the Bengals that night. I mean, so, you know, you don’t have any excuses. And, and I’m telling you, everybody’s doing charities that take the day and go do some good things. Yeah. And so we’re walking. Are we running? So we the run kicks off, and then you can walk behind it, sort of, kind of, you know, yeah.

Beth Rheingold  08:44

8

So it’s, it’s for walkers too, and a lot of runners use it just for a training course to stay in shape, to get ready for another big marathon. And then we’ve got our walkers who come just to support the 5k and the Chamber of Commerce, but to my knowledge, it is the only race that you can participate in with your dog. Now you’ve got to sign some waivers, because we do this safely, and your dog can’t be in heat. We do have some criteria there, but, but it’s fun because you can be with your dog, you can walk or run with your dog and or you can participate in an hour later at the doggy dash, just, just with your dog. So we have prizes for like, best dressed dog, if you want to bring your dog in a costume, because it’s close to Halloween, you could, you could dress up for the 5k if you want to run in a costume, but it’s just really about bringing the community together. We all love dogs. Garrison forest is a dog friendly school. They really welcome dogs. Families always. Bring their dogs on campus. And once we had a fam, a family that had a an alpaca.

Nestor Aparicio  10:10

Hey, my my childhood girlfriend from Essex has an alpaca farm in Virginia, and I’m telling you, like my wife and I have been planning forever. It’s right down by Jiffy Lube in that Manassas area, and we’ve been planning to go pet her alpacas. Alpacas are a thing.

Beth Rheingold  10:25

They they are this family used to drop their daughter off at school with the alpaca in the car. I mean, it was like crazy. The alpaca made our poster that year.

Nestor Aparicio  10:36

So I want to do some like alpaca yoga is what I want to do. You know, do they step on your back? I don’t know the goats do, though I’ve done kangaroo Yoga, you know, I’ve done, but I’ve never done the goat thing. Uh, Beth Rheingold is here. She runs the Greater Baltimore Chamber of Commerce, um, tell me what that is. And like, how you bring people together, and how you went from being sort of more of a Northwest organization to try to become more of a regional and a county wide group that supports local business. Right? That’s what Chamber of Commerce

8

Beth Rheingold  11:08

is doing. That’s what chambers do, Nestor, you got it right. And as we expand to all of Baltimore County, we are so excited to be serving businesses all over the county the with the recent closure of the Baltimore County Chamber, we’ve stepped up to this role to support all of our businesses and to make sure that Baltimore County has a Chamber of Commerce to support business. We bring resources to our businesses, whether that’s revitalization or workforce development, connecting, in some cases, like our 5k connecting businesses to nonprofits that are meaningful. We know, just like you do Nestor, that nonprofits make our communities very strong and viable because we’re all about making sure people want to live and play where they work, right? That’s so important. And I don’t know if you knew this, but Baltimore County is the third largest county in this great state of Maryland. So we are here to make sure Baltimore County continues to grow and be a place where people want to do business.

Nestor Aparicio  12:20

Well, you know, I always say we’re W, N, S, T house in Baltimore, but our license is in Baltimore County. I have been, you know, I’m Baltimore County, raised, born, educated, business owned from Dundalk to Towson, and lived in White Marsh for a while. And clearly, they lived in downtown Baltimore for a long time, for two decades as well. Always have worked in downtown Baltimore, but the notion that the counties, all of them, and the cities working together and bringing people together, I often think of this certainly in a weird political state. But trying to go to these breakfasts that people have put on, or networking events people put on, I’ve do the Connect events and the accelerant events and different things like that. These are more professional organizations, but they were always from Kiwanis Clubs or just, you know, any, any of the groups, civic organizations that put things together. But chambers were always about business and um, and tell me what, what is a modern What do you aspire to be? And I’m I’m sure you have events, I’m sure you have power lunches. I’m sure you’re trying to always kind of put people together. And also, for anybody listening out there, I am the smallest of small business owners. When I talk about small business, I know I sound bigger on the radio, on my station, but, um, but we’re small. We’re small little business at this point. And and I aspire to all sorts of things through my time, but to say, how big is too big? How small is too small? If I’m a handyman working out of the trunk of my van, but I have a business, and I’m working six days a week, and I got kids and bills and they can I join? What? What are the requirements what’s the barrier to entry?

Beth Rheingold  14:03

There’s no barrier. And great question, Nestor, really thank you for asking, because we have a level for everybody. So you’re what we would call a solopreneur, right? You’re You’re the solo entrepreneur. And so we have a super affordable level. We just redid all of our membership tiers because we want to be accessible for everybody, right? So whether you’re a solopreneur orpreneur, excuse me, a solopreneur, or you’re a business with 1000 employees, we have a level for you. And of course, your needs are different from the needs of a really large company. We’ve got something for everyone. We are not just a networking organization. And let me give you an example of that, when when the Francis Scott Key Bridge was hit and collapsed because of our name Greater Baltimore chamber, we were getting close. Calls for three days for help from local businesses. Now, you know we, we hadn’t even expanded to the county yet, but we are a connector, so it didn’t matter who was calling, we were going to reach out to help. So you mentioned some amazing networking groups. Those groups are so fantastic. I’ve been to those events, and they really do serve businesses well. But like you said, chambers are here for businesses through thick and thin, right?

Nestor Aparicio  15:33

8

I’ve always seen those as an extension of what chambers wanted to be could be, and took elements of it and said, this is when we think of change Chamber of Commerce. For me, 30 years ago, as a business owner, I sort of saw it as a, you know, placing go have breakfast with other people in the area and meet some people, that’s all. And to introduce people I know to the people you know. And and it used to, but we had yellow pages, man, I had the Dewey Decimal System Beth. I didn’t end Google’s and, and the AIS and the Geminis, and, like all of that,

Beth Rheingold  16:09

really, it’s really changed. And, and, you know, Nestor, I got to participate in this amazing four year program with the US Chamber of Commerce called Institute, and you get the certificate and whatever. But the reason I’m mentioning that is because you are absolutely right. You know, people used to have a sense of belonging to their organization, whether it was Kiwanis Club or or some other, you know, membership driven group, a chamber of commerce. And you’re right, we relied on those groups to help connect us, and I think that the chambers nationwide sort of fell behind, and everyone else caught on to what we were doing. And I think the chambers of commerce were not watching that carefully enough. But it’s really important to know that in your time of need, when there’s a pandemic, like our chamber was the first chamber to do the guide to curbside. I’m pretty sure we were the first ones in the state to do it, and you didn’t even have to be a member, because we knew we were all in it together, a rising tide lifts all boats, and we needed to make sure, you know when you talk about food on your show, we needed to make sure that our restaurants survived the pandemic. So we are here always as a business resource. We do things that people don’t really think about a lot of the time, and we advocate. So just to give you a quick example. October 30, we’re having a town hall with our Maryland comptroller, Brooke Lerman. We’re bringing in people for businesses to meet and share their concerns with. And so we’re always involved at that legislative advocacy level too. Well.

Nestor Aparicio  18:00

I always enjoy my time with Brooke. I always learn something from her. So there’s another. So a power lunch. What do we have? Give me a little word on that, and then, and then, I’m going to invite everyone on the 19th of October to get out to Garrison forest and participate. It is the 2025, heads and tails, 5k run, walk and doggy dash. You don’t have to be a dachshund or own a dachshund to being used by dachshunds, correct?

Beth Rheingold  18:25

Yes, that’s right, yeah. Heads and tails, five k.com is our URL to register. And you can register through the end of September and save money once, once, October 1 hits, the ticket sales go up, the ticket price goes up. So don’t hold off. But, but yeah, Nestor, we’re excited for this event. We just love talking to you about all things business and five Ks, and we hope to see everybody out there on race day.

8

Nestor Aparicio  18:58

So if I come to this Power Lunch thing, Beth Rheingold is here. She’s gonna upsell me right now into the organization. So tell me what you’re offering. Wnst, Baltimore, positive, yeah.

Beth Rheingold  19:11

So we have a level for you. Nestor, for the solopreneur, and we have a power hour lunch series.

Nestor Aparicio  19:18

We sound French with that solar panel like, yeah, you know, like, I’m gonna have to have, you know, croak Madame for lunch. I like that. I mean, I like the way you’re selling me solopreneur, yeah, you put that French Hold on a second. I got to put that my LinkedIn. I’m going to fix that right now. I’m gonna change myself. They call me a digital creator now, so I’m like, Yeah, this is, listen, listen. You’re not, you’re not all as old as me, but I’m, I’m old, and I’m getting old as my kid just turned 41 today. So happy birthday to my son, Barry. But you know day, yeah, you know we’re getting there. But like, as I. Get older with all of this, like, titles and all of that stuff, the one that really rubs me wrong, and I don’t even know why, because, like, the kids think it’s cool. Podcaster. I have a podcast, and, like, anybody could have a podcast. I’ve had a radio station for 27 years. Try that anybody can be so when you say so that preneur, I’m like, you know, that sounds like being a consultant. You know, it sounds like some name you make up for yourself. That’s fancy, but I know, listen, no matter what, it’s hard work. If you have a business and you’re fronting a business, even if it’s an illicit business, it’s hard work. But if you’re on the hustle and you are a so that preneur or small business owner or a small shop or a consultant, or you’re in between gigs, or you’re in the gig society, was it did the gig economy? Well, I mean, everybody’s got a hustle at this point, but part of it is we’re all zoom, zoom, zoom, zoom in. And we don’t get in a room together, right? So, I mean, I think that that’s, I don’t get invited out anymore. Is it the way I smell? I mean, really like nobody invites me out that like lunch and all that

Beth Rheingold  21:11

alone here in Westminster, Maryland, where I am, this morning,

Nestor Aparicio  21:16

I shaved at everything for this segment. I would seriously be getting people together. It’s like herding cats, even if it’s a ball game, just getting people together. So I think anytime when people are are ambitious enough to try to bring people to the table, we used to say, let’s bring folks to the table, right? We really mean, bring people to the table, right?

Beth Rheingold  21:37

And, and here’s the thing, Nestor, because you are always so on top of it, you always impress me, and you’re right. It is very hard to get people together when we have an event, I tell people I can’t. Ever since the pandemic, I cannot predict attendance at it. At an event, we can predict attendance at our 5k because we have analytics on that, and it’s a great morning, but you’re right, and what I have to say is that Chambers of Commerce are going to, once again, become so, so important, because we are bringing people together, and especially with the advent of AI. You and I cannot be replaced by AI as much as people may try, but we have to interface in person with one another, because that’s how business deals get done. It’s through trust and knowing people. And you know this probably better than anyone, Nestor is you are not going to do business with anyone you don’t know personally and that you don’t trust. And so the chambers are all about building that trust and getting people in the room and at the table.

Nestor Aparicio  22:46

See, you know this is goes right into my tastiness thing. You’re playing right into my hands here with one of my tastiness businesses in the 20s. He thought he was too low, but it’s fine. Go out and tell Jerry and get the clean cuisine butternut squash. I found him through you. He is a small business in the crontville Center, and Owings Mills on the road up to MPT just past Stevenson in the place where my favorite all time, corned beef, Steve’s deli was in that in there, not there anymore. And I’m Jones and Steve’s deli right now. I’m jonesing that corned beef that the lady used to hand me when I came in there, and a little rainbow cakes, and the conditions and all the stuff they had there. So I think about, like food and small businesses, and I think, and I’ve said this a million times during the pandemic, I lived here, if you’re watching my video, I live right at the west side of the harbor, Harbor, harbor West, not Harbor East, but we would walk over to Little Italy, and my amici friends, you know, Scott Roland, who founded it, and the whole family there. I walked over there, tears in my eyes, bag on my face, taking bags of food out of there in the front door, not being able to touch credit cards in the middle of the pandemic, and just hoping they could stay open so I could go have their meatballs, so I could feature them as number three on my tastiness countdown with curio wellness in 2025 that these businesses exist, whether it’s echo been at number two, or Fenwick bakery at number one, or clean cuisine, all of my local businesses, and those aren’t even my sponsors. Now I’m talking like fade leaves and Pappas and and Costas and and Coca just all the people that power my business, Cooper’s north where I had reads rescue, I featured them with Patrick Russell and everybody. So all of these local people that hold my business together in trying to hold their business together. These are, it is. It’s foundational to every community that business owners know each other, trust each other, and stay together.

8

Beth Rheingold  24:50

That’s right, and that’s what it all boils down to, is community and and those connections, and that’s why we’ve got those 4c on our. Website, Nestor,

Nestor Aparicio  25:01

give me those C’s again. Give me read that again, because I’m not so good. I didn’t take notes on this. I don’t have my AI note taker going here. So what am I? CCS again, color, oh, sorry, a different wrong. I’m sorry.

Beth Rheingold  25:14

Connections, community, commerce, county,

Nestor Aparicio  25:18

8

all right, yeah. I’m just trying to get alignment, assignment and technique right, because it’s football season, right? I’m trying to teach people football. Beth Ryan gold, teaching us about business, teaching us about the 2025, heads and tails, 5k run and walk and doggy dash. That’s a lot. I’m reading it off here because it’s just too much for me to remember. It is October the 19th, which you can go celebrate me being a year older, because I turned a year older that week. It is also a bye week for the ravens to get out there early. You can do this whole thing in the morning. You can walk, you can run, you can laugh at dogs. You can get some apple spike. You know, I see apple spice here. Everything’s in this. And I’m gonna maybe this. I gotta speak to Karen about this. I don’t see pumpkin in here. And, you know, I’m thinking, like, there better be some pumpkin involved here in October, like a four letter word, if we we, we replace pumpkin with Apple or spice, because pumpkin seems to be, I don’t know, passe or something, but I love some pumpkin, right? It’s time pumpkin now, right? We love

Beth Rheingold  26:20

pumpkin we love doing this 5k in the fall. It’s beautiful on campus, there will be pumpkin spice lattes, no doubt,

Nestor Aparicio  26:28

apple cider donuts for me, maybe. Oh, bring that,

Beth Rheingold  26:31

Nestor, when you, when you come to the 5k just bring some. All right. Well, I’m looking forward to this, but, but you mentioned apple spice that they are their their name is very interesting. They are our breakfast sponsor, and they bring a hot breakfast to the 5k It may have apples, it may have spice, but it’s not.

8

Nestor Aparicio  26:51
