One of Portland's most prominent entrepreneurs, Ron Khormaei, joins us once again on the podcast to discuss the factors that have gone into his successful building of two companies from the ground up in Portland, Finex and Steelport.

We start with a discussion about how his immigration from Iran as a teen shaped his ethics and viewpoints on life and business in the USA. And Ron points out that local roots are key to the success of both companies, from manufacturing to community involvement. Speaking of community, one of the unique aspects of Portland culture is that businesses support one another, To that end, Steelport hosts many demonstrations and tours at its factory, and on the 24th of August will host a Knife Maker showcase, highlighting Portland as the premiere knife-making city in the USA, featuring many other knifemakers from Portland.

We on Right at the Fork are big fans of Steelport's products, but also how well they are connected to our restaurant and food communities.
