RadioACTive likes to start the New Year with an inspiring conversation. This year, Executive Producer Lara Jones talks with Rico Brand's Jorge Fiero, who recently celebrated 25 years of entrepreneurship. He shares his journey from a childhood in Chihuahua, Mexico, his decision to leave law school and herd sheep in Wyoming, his time at the SLC Rescue Mission upon arrival in the Beehive State, the launch of his future food empire with his mother's pinto beans recipe at the Downtown SLC Farmers Market in 1988, and his New Year's Resolution to give back to his community and adopted country.
