Meet the business owners
Cadence Kidwell,
Fuzzy Goat
Fuzzy Goat is a knitting boutique based in Thomasville, Georgia, where it sells artisan yarns from women makers around the world. For owner and former academic Cadence Kidwell, it’s a third act. She took a leap of faith and left all her comforts behind to build her own small business in a new small town — and in doing so, she’s built up an entire community.
Ashley and Rick Ortiz,
Antique Taco
A long-time favorite among Chicago’s Wicker Park and Bridgeport neighborhoods, Antique Taco serves up fresh tacos and margaritas made from locally sourced ingredients — along with a curated vintage vibe. With Antique Taco, Ashley and Rick are bringing together their family, their work, and their two greatest passions. Not to mention, a damn good taco.
Zachary Sayles,
Omega Roofing
Based in Rupert, Idaho, Omega Roofing runs on the motto: Treat every house like it’s your parent’s house. Co-owner Zachary Sayles learned the trade from his father and uncles. As a new dad and first-time entrepreneur, he has big plans to grow Omega into Idaho’s biggest roofing business — and one day pass it on to his daughter.
Christine Ha and John Suh,
The Blind Goat
The Blind Goat and Xin Chao specialize in Vietnamese street food with a Texas flare. The child of Vietnamese refugees, Ha is best-known for being the blind winner of MasterChef with Gordon Ramsay in 2012. Never ones to back away from a challenge, Christine and John opened Xin Chao in the middle of the COVID pandemic — all while adapting to keep The Blind Goat open and thriving at the same time.
