EXPERIENCE 261 | Building Community and Belonging with Dustin Peyser, Founder and President of the Timnath Chamber of Commerce
In this episode of The LoCo Experience Podcast, I sat down with Dustin Peyser, the Founder and President of the Timnath Chamber of Commerce. Dustin shares how he co-founded the chamber alongside the early adopters and supporters, driven by his passion for local business and community building.
We discuss the chamber's rapid growth to 55 members and his innovative initiatives like the 'Click Local' business listing platform. Dustin was inspired and supported throughout by his wife Crystal, a likely future guest on the show. For Dustin, creating a Timnath Chamber is a bit of a legacy project, and a way to truly be a part of the community he loves.
After jumping into the time machine, Dustin recounts his move from upstate New York to California and eventually to Timnath, Colorado, overcoming insecurities and challenges along the journey, and ends with a truly LoCo Experience - an emotional story of his near-arrest upon returning from a cruise - over a paperwork mixup with the military that had him labeled as AWOL from a decade prior. He’s a fun guy, and a fellow communitarian, and I know you’ll enjoy my conversation with Dustin Peyser.
