EP 2-33 Fennimore

Wendy Corr:

Well, hey there folks, welcome to the Roundup. We're a Cowboy State Daily podcast, and we focus on really interesting people in the Cowboy State. Our person today is so interesting. And you know what? We found her real close to home here. And so I can't wait to introduce you all to Piper Fennimore.

But first, first, I want to tell you about a great podcast that's also Wyoming based. It's the Wyoming Business Alliance "Business from the Basement" podcast. They focus on not just interesting people, but people who know business, people who have experience in business. You've got tips, you've got advice, great things that you're going to get if you tune into the "Business from the Basement" podcast, put on by the Wyoming Business Alliance.

But don't go there yet. First, you've got to stay put, because we have to talk to Piper Fennimore now, full disclosure, Piper is here at Cowboy State Daily. She is a digital marketing radio advertising strategist. I do not have her title correct, and she'll correct me on that, but she is a strategist. She is so great at getting out there and fearless when it comes to showing people how advertising on Cowboy State daily can help your business.

But she's got an incredible backstory that brought her here to Wyoming. And so, good morning, Piper. We are so glad to have you at Cowboy State daily, and I'm so tickled to have you here on the roundup. How are you today? It looks like I see the reflection in the window. It's a beautiful day in Cody. Wyoming!

Piper Fennimore:

It is, good morning, Wendy, it is. It's absolutely stunning, nice and cool. Already got my 10 miles on my bike in this morning. So doing good.

Wendy Corr:

Yeah, you're, you're highly impressive. I haven't done that yet today, no, but I don't do 10 miles on a bike. Hello. So that's, that's crazy. Piper. You're such a positive, you've got such a positive energy and such a force. And we're so glad that you found your way to Wyoming.

But you've got a myriad of things that you're so good at. And I kind of want to start from the beginning in telling your story, because you didn't know anything about Wyoming growing up in Connecticut, that's where you started. Tell us about growing up in Connecticut. I want you to lead us to that moment when you were seven years old and your life found a direction.

Piper Fennimore:

Oh gosh. So growing up in Connecticut, tiny, little town, you know, kind of like, if you know anything about Wyoming, kind of like Lovell, itty bitty, or Basin, you know, tiny little town, four miles by five miles. Yeah, that sounds like a city block here in Cody, but it was a tiny little town, one blinking light in the middle of it. So it kind of what, that's kind of what drew me and endeared me to the community of Wyoming, and because of those small towns with those wonderful qualities.

Wendy Corr:

You had a love as a small child for cooking. In fact, when you were seven, you actually created your own cookbook. And folks, this is important, because not only does Piper, you know, work for us here at Cowboy State daily, Piper is a published author with a book called Seriously Delish. It's a beautiful book, and it's a very special book and a specialized book.

And so we want to talk about how you got from, from being seven years old, creating your own cookbook to publishing your own cookbook that can be found anywhere, right, on Amazon? We've got several bookstores here in Cody. Tell us about, tell us about your culinary journey.

Piper Fennimore:

So I guess I've always had a love for food. And, you know, having parents that kind of enabled you. That was a
