"Connecting with people is a dance": Biguita Hernandez-Smith of the City of Bangor

In This Episode

On a special episode of The Ric and Dan Show, the boys from Bangor take their questions straight to the top, and speak with Biguita Hernandez-Smith, the Economic Development Officer of the City of Bangor, Maine. The three talk about Staten Island, Zumba, and how crucial communication is for community.

Ric is the only one on time to the interview: we know this because he left it in the edit. Once Biguita enters, she also brings the facts in (facts are a first for this show). She tells the story of how an unexpected loss has led to an unexpected change, and how an unexpected change can lead to unexpected gains. She talks about her responsibilities, helping nourish entrepreneurs and woo outside businesses into Bangor, all the while navigating the foreign trade zone. She talks about her time in Houston, her time in New York, and how both worlds have factored into the person she is today. Meanwhile, the gang gets spiritual as they talk about the divine, and Dan and Biguita connect through their experiences with Staten Island.
