On today's "Chatter with BNC" episode, Ben Kinney speaks with Brian Etheridge, the new VP of Business and Community Development for Delta Dental of North Carolina, just days after stepping down from 20-plus years leading Leadership North Carolina. Brian shares his winding career journey from elementary school teacher to the helm of LNC, the Stanley Cup energy sweeping the Carolinas, and why oral health is a gateway to overall wellness. He and Ben also bond over Willie Nelson, vinyl records, and the magic of seeing live music at venues like Red Rocks. It's a conversation about leadership, reinvention, and what makes North Carolina great. https://businessnc.com/podcast/

On today's "Chatter with BNC" episode, Ben Kinney speaks with Kevin Dick, president and CEO of the Carolina Small Business Development Fund. Kevin shares his winding path from a first-generation American inspired by Alex P. Keaton to studying German and international business at Georgetown, then pivoting to urban planning and a career in local government. He explains how his nonprofit CDFI drives small business growth across all 100 counties through lending, coaching, and policy research — and how their new Ignite product uses bank statements instead of tax returns to unlock capital for Main Street businesses. They also bond over Big Daddy Kane, South Florida roots, and 80s hip-hop.

If you’ve eaten Italian food in the Triangle sometime over the last four decades, there’s a decent chance you have Mario Longo to credit. The Italian-born owner of Raleigh’s Vic’s Ristorante & Pizzeria franchise has opened 20 heritage-inspired restaurants since he
moved to North Carolina in the late 1970s, including the Moore Square eatery. As anyone who has enjoyed the penne alla vodka or fried calamari at Vic’s can attest, Longo saved the best for last. https://buff.ly/SXftd93
