About the Hosts
Curt Bear
CREATOR, HOST, & FOUNDER OF LOCO THINK TANK
Hi, I'm Curt and I love a good story. During my career in banking and as Founder of LoCo Think Tank, I have been blessed to hear thousands of inspiring and insightful business stories. I've observed that story is a powerful medium for learning. Much of the impact of our LoCo chapters is also from members sharing and learning in this way. We created The LoCo Experience to share this bounty of wisdom and experience for anyone to partake. I hope you listen and love it.

Hi, I’m Kelsi, and I love celebrating the stories that make Northern Colorado special. As co-owner of Discover NOCO Magazine and This is NOCO Media, which I run alongside my husband Ben, I’ve had the opportunity to connect with incredible local businesses and community leaders. I grew up in Laporte and returned to NOCO to raise my two boys, drawn back by the community that shaped me. I’m passionate about advocating for small businesses and community connection through highlighting what makes this area unique.
