Summary
Three bold local entrepreneurs are rewriting the rules of business by turning their personal identities into community anchors: Maggie Leonhardt’s inclusive, stylists-run Hightide Salon brings Southeast Asian vibrancy to Raleigh; Chef Gregg Hamm’s Libations 317 and Su-Z’s Asian Kitchen aim to be the neighborhood’s warm, welcoming “Cheers” spot; and Darryl Fuller’s Morning Rolls, born from a sweet tradition with his partner, proves passion and authenticity can fuel a booming local favorite. Together, they’re proving that when businesses reflect who they are, they don’t just serve customers—they build belonging. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
