Nothing, more delicious in, this world than donuts and today, we're at the little donut with Julia and Sergey, thank, you so much for having us here yeah, thanks for being here what a delicious fun time we're gonna have but, let's start with a little history of the little donut you have, a, background. There's, an artisan, donut maker now my background started, back when I was about 12 years old I started volunteering after, school for a family, friend in San Diego there was there were small business, donut, shop they made donuts artisan doughnuts. Everything. Was bigger they're not nothing, was small everything was fancy. Big, and. Crazy. You know they had a crazy imagination with the donuts and I, just got, excited about it and I just wanted to kind of spread, it around and, have everyone. Try what, I have learned in the past eight years. So. You started, apprenticing at, 12, and, by, 15, you actually got hired on a staff, I got hired at 15 I started as a cashier and I. Worked all the way through high school there. Was nights I would work til 4:00 in the morning get you out to sleep, go to school do, my homework and go back to work and. I worked all the way up from cashier, chief roster, to Baker to, a point where the, manager, there had to trust to have me run the whole shop your, mentor was, an artisan doughnut maker. Won. Some awards yeah he actually was recognized. As number, 18, donut shop best on a shop in United, States by ABC News. And he. Just, year, after year kind. Of has the same passion like me just improves, the year after year and just wants to bring the best quality, product to everyone what's, exciting about this is that. Quality, is. Really unique and we're gonna talk about it a little bit because you have created, something, here, that, I've never experienced.
Ever In my life I mean it's life-altering, and I'm gonna say that and I mean it it was an out-of-body, experience the. First time that I bit into one of your Donuts and you're bringing that now as to Northern Nevada and how. Incredible. That is for our community but Julia when I hear a little bit about how you got involved with being little donut, well. It really began before we even met Sergei our I got her Emily was so enthusiastic. About his Donuts that we, thought well you know we've got to try it so. She. Went ahead brought. A donut over it was a fritter it was the most amazing, experience. I have ever had it, I have never had a fritter that delicious, and we. Went ahead and we met him and he was the most polite the kindest, the sweetest, the most soft-spoken. And yet. Talented. Guy. That we had met and he works very hard every. Day, so. We thought well you know what she, knows. That this is his calling and just, meeting him one time we knew the same thing and that's, how Sam, and I became, involved with Sergei, and. So the little donut, was born but this is anything, shy of little, and. I love the ambiance right, from where you walk into the door you have created the experience, like I'm inside, the. Donut, box it's. An exceptional, experience from beginning to end and if you don't mind I'd like to take a look at some of the artisan, Donuts before. We do I want to ask a little bit about this, donut, experience, that we're talking about I mean this is really as, you mentioned, something. You've never tasted. Before. There. Is something, to this outer shell that, makes this crisp, flaky. When, you bite through it a little. Crunch and texture, eva's you chew it. Then the inside, of the donut is perfectly, moist and not full of oils it is absolutely. Unique to anything I've ever tasted how. Do you create them, well. I can't tell you the secret but, there's. Only two people in the world that would know what, how, we do donuts here and with. That being said we can't even fly on the same plane together. All. Kidding aside though. It. Did take my, mentor over, 35, years to do what he does and it took me in additional, eight years working, under him to just perfect, everything. From. Start. To finish there's, it's. Not just making, a mix there's science. Behind it there's you got it just everything. Has to be perfect, it is a doughnut, experience, it is people have to experience, it for themselves and, and it's something special so let's take a look at some of the doughnuts of your Creator. Let's. Take a look at all the varieties, of doughnuts we're looking at well, here we have our selection of rays you know we started with our glaze. Right here and, goes to maple chocolate. To sugar we. Have our zebra doughnuts, sprinkle. Just, what. Everyone's favorite really is what's, the zebra is that chocolate and vanilla beau yeah it's a chocolate and vanilla and in my opinion it's actually, a really really great combination it, looks delicious. Well, let's talk about your pastries. Yeah yeah. We do we have make our pastries with. Cream cheese blueberry. Cream cheese chocolate. Strawberry. Cream cheese even. It's just butter you know it's a really great book that made croissants, here yeah and these croissants, are created. The same way as you doughnuts with that really, interesting. Outer shell. It's. Unlike, any other croissant in the wall correct. Yeah and it's just.
Like. Every doughnut and all the croissants there's a special. Little secret. Behind how everything, is it's, that little, thin, wait for thin just you, bite into it it's it's. It's. A doughnut experience, there's no question about it order if what's inside these chocolate these are our Bavarian, creams custard. Filling Boston.

Pleasure to have you thank. You tell me a little bit about western. Industrial Nevada, where, it's got its start and, what. Is it form whose, does it serve fantastic. Well really it serves the whole business community, here so, we had our start in 1968. We've been around we're celebrating our fiftieth anniversary this, year so it's kind of amazing that an organization, like this lasts, so very long so, really, it was founded on this great principle of bringing community, and business leaders together to promote business development, here to get to know each other to build up a stronger community to, build those relationships the. Way that Wynn has evolved, is that we do a big breakfast meeting every month we have 250, to 300 people coming to a breakfast and for. That networking, for that great sense of community and then, we give them a fantastic speaker, so we give the makino quality, speaker that you'd find at any big conference, and they, come for both of those things so it's professional, development, it's networking, it's, bringing the community together in common purpose every, month and it's tremendous. Congratulations. Is the incoming, president, and treasurer, for win thank you what. Are your plans going, forward for win well. I think as president, it's really important to look out, amongst our membership, look what, is a value, to them as a member I'm, also always growing membership I think Northern. Nevada is really at a great time right now lots of growth we, also need to reflect that in our membership, whatd. Members typically, say about their experience, with when, you, know um here where there affectionately known as winners, so, our members and we have members that have been members for twenty years or more and we have newer members and what they keep coming back for is that community, they love being here they love having a great speaker some, takeaways that they can take home every month to think about apply to their business so, in, fact this morning we have a couple of members who are ready to talk about that and we have one of our founding, members from 1968.

Of win western industrial Nevada, that's great what does it look like back then and what made you found it well, we were trying to attract, industry, Torino, as, our motivator. How, many original, members did you have back then probably. No more than twenty twenty-five and. Today, hundreds. Oh yeah thousands, over the year attendees, events, most.

Captain, Heilemann with me he's the commanding. Officer, of the, USS Nevada thank, you for your service what, would you say to somebody that's considering, a business networking group about. When I think when is a good one because it's a cross-section, you're not going to meet with people that are just doing what you do. This, one is across the board it's, trying, to make things better for our community, how, long have you been a wind member and what's your experience been Mitch. I've been here since 2000. And as a wind member I was, new to town I didn't, know anyone so it, provided an opportunity to meet a lot of people at our other business folks I've, developed clients, here and I've strengthened client relationships. And when has. This made a difference. In your business I think, the big thing is when you're in the industry I'm in financial. And planning that kind of thing people like, to know that you're an established, individual. And the fact that they've seen me here for 17 or 18 years now they know that's a real deal I've been in my position for thirty years. What, is your experience with Lynne how long you've been a member I've. Been a member a little over a year and my, experience, has been great it's been great for networking meeting. New, people that, own other businesses. It's actually helped my business and helped me meet, a lot of new people what. Would you say to somebody who is considering, joining Winn, oh I would definitely say it's a great civic. Organization, and definitely. Do it because it's worth your time you'll learn something you meet new people and, it's an awesome place to be once, a month how. Long have you been a member of Wynn and what's your experience been it's. Been about five.

The speakers, and I love the type of people it attracts it. Attracts people who are at the top of their game and, who are here to get better movers, you jinx movers and shakers like yourself well, thank you. What's. Your take on women when. Is, a place to. Network. With, other, professionals. In the area to. Make, new connections to. Continue. Building the relationships. That you've already, got and. It's the power, house full. Of. Business.

How. About have, you ever met somebody and the minute you meet him you're like yeah probably not gonna be friends yeah I. Was.

Mitch and Tom here I'm, Tom at. The top Mitch show it's a tough amid show at carpenters music world carpenters music world we're gonna get to talk about Yamaha. The Yamaha Clavinova, digital, piano, Yamaha. Is. A standard, of the industry for centuries in her centuries. And today we're going to look at the Yamaha, Clavinova. Which, is a digital, piano which. Is the number one selling digital in, our industry. And we, will go start it at the entry level and, I'll take you all the way up to the end. Well. We have a whole line of them but let's start with this one the, entry-level model this is the entry-level 2p, 115 it. Is least expensive, it is the most portable and. It all has they have 88 keys weighted. Keys like, an acoustic piano as we. Move up to the next one this, is a first, of all this is shows. You the, weight of the keys so, when you're playing one of these clever Nova's it's, like play an acoustic piano except, you don't have the strings so you don't have to tune it as. We move up through these different models as you, can see they're getting a little larger a little larger sound, systems, are getting bigger so sound, systems are getting bigger so people. Who want bigger sound louder sound they're. Going to get that as they move up and richer fuller sound richer, fuller sound now these are interesting because I feel like I'm in the cockpit of an aircraft all, these are the CVP, models, this is the 701. 705. 709. When, you get into these and now you're getting into 800. Sounds, to 1200 say 16, track recording, it's like a whole recording, studio and you, can also record, audio so, if you want to sing it would do that you could take your MP p3.
Put. Them in here and they'll play all that music it's incredible. As we, move down on these again. You're. Getting more, sounds, until, you get to the flagship, well let's take a look at this one this, is the flagship, of the Clavinova. Piano, this, is a CBP 709. This, is the top-of-the-line it's, got twelve hundred and seventy, voices. It's, got 16 track recording, you could hook it up to a TV or a giant monitor, you could sing through it you have voice. Articulations. In it so, let me just show you a little bit as soon as you turn this instrument, on it defaults. To a grand piano. Beautiful. Rich, sound. Now say. You wanted to play a flamingo, guitar. Faye's, oh and this instrument. I have, 1200, sounds, to, actually, play. At my disposal, one. Of the biggest features of this instrument, is that you really don't have to learn how to play it will teach you if I'm going to show you now in Jurassic, Park. When. I push play. You're. Gonna get interesting, part, now. The little, red dot is traveling, but. It's gonna come up here and you're the little red light is on. Follow. The lights. I'm. Sensing. By watching you play Jurassic, Park that, this is a really, good piano to learn how to play on, this. Piano has 600. Different, rhythm. Styles, so. If you know just a few chords, you. Can take this piano and say, you wanted to play a country, shuffle blues all you have to do is hit the chord. It. Will play the introduction it will play the ending it will play everything and all you got to do is play simple chords now if you really want to impress your friends and you don't even play you, can go over here you can pick a rhythm which, you have 1200. Of them you. Could pick introduction. Synchros. Start and all, you have to do is hit one note. Play. With one finger. And. You ended. Business. Chronicles com.
