Orlando O. | The man behind "Taco Fest"

This episode is a little different from the usual Live Life Podcast episodes. This one is a collaboration no sponsors, no regular format, just a real conversation focused on highlighting the people creating experiences and bringing the community together here in the 831. In this episode, we sit down with Orlando, one of the organizers behind the growing local food truck events and the upcoming Taco Fest happening May 30th & 31st in Salinas, California. We talk about the vision, the grind, the pressure behind organizing events, and what it really takes to build something for the community. A genuine conversation that gives listeners a behind the scenes look into the work, passion, and purpose behind creating a festival and movement people can enjoy together.As always a special thanks to my production team:Juan Avila photography:https://www.juanavilaphotography.com/Luis from LC1 Productions:https://www.lc1productionsllc.com/
