Gregory Gremillion from Alt Fin Co is incredibly interesting… He looks at the end point of things first, then will design a plan. His restaurant in New Orleans was super successful, although it was seemingly a strange idea initially. His new project, Alt Fin Co is another interesting one which doesn’t seem to make much sense on the surface, but once again he has a plan. Gregory explains this in his episode plus much more & we hope you enjoy meeting both Gregory & Alt Fin Co in this episode!
I thoroughly enjoyed recording this episode with Romeo Stone. It’s amazing to see his mindset at his age and how aggressively he is pursuing his goals. It’s been a pleasure to watch him grow up and exciting to see him aim high goal wise… He wants to surf in the Olympics in 2028, is extremely grateful to his mom and everyone who helps him with his journey, and opens up on his thoughts about crowds, environment, seeing Nosara become popular, plus he supports other surfers in this country making the same journey. he’s launching a new business and pursuing sponsors as he serves tournaments to work his way to the top. Lots of insight and heartfelt conversation in this episode… We hope you enjoy it!
Emmanuel Gutierrez recaps Nosara‘s recent elections & how many of the competing NGO’s are missing the point of helping Nosara‘s locals in a true and effective manner, and perhaps most importantly, how badly Nosara needs a census to update how many people are living here as soon as possible (this will cost 125k).
The first part of video is the debate that ADC (Alianza para el Desarrollo Comunitario) organized with the candidates for the Municipal elections. Stay tuned for more from Alianza para Desarrollo Comunitario).
He explains Nosara is missing funding available from the government and has become far too comfortable raising its own capital year after year from the very same sources. He explains an updated census will allow us to receive government funding to truly cover the local populace living here, who are trying to survive in this rapidly evolving community.

Joel ‘Chata’ Rivera & Marcelo Moran stop by the Nosara Podcast to fill us in about Saturday’s surf tournament in addition to actions local surfers are taking to help their community & promote relationships between ALL segments of Nosara’s residents & guests. these guys wanna make a difference and are looking the whole these contest on a regular basis with the idea to help the local community while uniting every demographic inside this community.
This Saturday’s contest is probably one of the more fun ones … the admission C is school supplies for children, or anything that helps more local kids get into school. People can pay for their uniforms, shoes, bring paper, pencils, basically any supply that helps children will get you into this fun based contest,
The winners can earn some money, but the real goal here is to promote community support for the local children. Dreamcatchers is sponsoring the event along with many Nosara businesses helping here & there, too.
Brian has been, still is, & will probably always continue to be many things to me. Above all else, he is a HUGE ball of fun, a great friend & business partner, occasionally an innovative source of stress, and much, much more… Did I mention how much fun he is?
In this episode with B’s (this is what I’ve called him for over a decade now), we explore his past, his present, and his vision for Nosara’s future.
This is a candid conversation, and I grill him pretty hard about being a real estate agent plus ask him how his family could be so wildly involved in saving sooo many animals lives, yet he works in the most vilified industry around here.
His answers will surprise many. I am pleased to share B’s episode & proud to call him a friend. This one is long overdue & I hope you enjoy it!
