It is early May 2018. A quiet Wednesday morning - about 10:00 am. This part of the town is still getting into gear. Shops are opening, not many customers yet. Delivery vans are delivering, shop keepers are keeping each other company, coffee is being sipped where last night beer and wine were being served. The alpine air is fresh and Jakob Ribnikar is opening his shop Mikame. It's a tiny place, dwarfed by the Devil Bar next door, you could miss it.
But don’t - it is packed with local crafts. The address is Cesta svobode 15 4260 Bled Slovenia - info@mikame.si and the website www.mikame.si

My first interviewee for this podcast series is Martin Gilchrist. We met in The MAC in Belfast. The MAC is a popular and accessible arts centre in the city. Popular with people interested in the arts, of course. But also a place where people involved in tech and startup businesses hang out sometimes.
