001: Let's Start the Become a Popcorn Genius Show

In the inaugural episode of "Become a Popcorn Genius," host Frank DeMaio introduces listeners to the delightful and diverse world of popcorn. Frank shares his personal journey from owning a successful family-run gourmet popcorn shop, which offered over 33 different flavors, to a pause in business due to family circumstances. Motivated to rekindle his passion, Frank discusses how he and his family adapted by building a homemade propane kettle

corn popper to continue making gourmet popcorn at home.

The episode covers a wide range of topics for both popcorn enthusiasts and aspiring

entrepreneurs. Frank provides valuable tips on achieving the perfect pop, whether using a microwave, stovetop, or commercial poppers, and dives into creative flavoring ideas beyond traditional butter and salt, such as truffle parmesan and cinnamon sugar. Additionally, Frank sets the stage for future discussions on turning a love for popcorn into a thriving business, hinting at upcoming insights on equipment, products, and business strategies.

Listeners are invited to subscribe and join Frank as he explores both the joy of popcorn making and the business opportunities it presents, emphasizing that like every popcorn kernel, everyone has the potential to pop into something amazing.
