In this interview, we sit down with Amanda Pizarro, co-founder of The Salty Donut, the cult-favorite artisanal donut brand that transformed Miami’s food scene and sparked a national craze. Amanda shares how she built a brand obsessed with quality, community, and creativity — from pop-ups and overnight baking shifts to opening multiple locations across the country. She dives into entrepreneurship, brand building, partnerships, and how she continues to innovate while staying true to Salty’s roots. A must-listen for anyone inspired by founders who turn passion into a powerhouse brand.

When you talk about record-setting real estate in Miami and New York, one name shows up again and again: Ruthie Assouline. She has quietly—and consistently—been behind some of the most expensive and culturally significant trades in both cities, from Manhattan townhomes to North Bay Road trophy estates. But nowhere is her impact more visible right now than in Altos del Mar, the crown jewel of North Beach and the only enclave of true beachfront mansions anywhere in Miami Beach south of Golden Beach.

Ruthie has personally closed the two biggest sales in the history of this ultra-rare strip—$37.5M and $36.5M—and now she has brought to market the most expensive listing North Beach has ever seen: a $40 million oceanfront estate, the only true single-family home directly on the sand currently available in all of Miami Beach.

Miami Heat basketball isn’t just a sport here—it’s a lifestyle, a mood, and sometimes, a full-blown personality trait.

From roster realities to locker room energy, and what it all says about Miami itself, this conversation goes beyond basketball—it’s about the city’s rhythm, resilience, and relentless drive to prove the doubters wrong.
