100% Humboldt

What happens when you mix family, business, and a slice of the real estate pie? You get an engaging conversation with my good friend, Larry O'Doss, a dedicated husband, father, and maverick in the space of real estate. Join us as we roll back the years, reminiscing about our youthful exploits, Larry's passion for football, and how he dared to dream and steward'Tom Sourdough Pizza', a venture that blended his love for food and entrepreneurship.
Being a family business owner in Eureka, California, isn't all sunshine and roses. Larry unveils the reality behind the business landscape in Humboldt County and the challenges that come with it. We dissect the impact of the good old boy network and the 'no' network on the region and how it has shaped the opportunities or lack thereof. Larry's insights into the story of railroad development and the repercussions of the San Francisco earthquake on the timber industry are not only fascinating but also offer a fresh perspective on a not-so-talked-about part of history.
Ever wondered about the nitty-gritty of ranching life? Larry gives us a front-row seat to his world in Orick, California, and the hard-earned lessons from taking care of his horses, tending to the land, and the rollercoaster that is running a ranch. As we navigate through tales of Larry's family ranch, his Belgian draft horses, and his officiating football games, we also delve into a broader conversation about life, culture, and the unique grit that makes Humboldt County a place unlike any other. So, buckle up for an insightful and entertaining journey into Larry's world, where each day is a new adventure.
