At 23, Wayne Hesler-Mondore had never owned a business. He wanted to buy one anyway. So he walked into a Utica bank and asked for $85,000. When the banker didn't say yes, Wayne kept asking. When the banker worked out of a different branch on Wednesdays, Wayne showed up there too.

That's just the opening chapter of the story Wayne tells on the newest episode of Behind the Open Sign, the freshly renamed podcast from hosts Tammy Crossway and Carl Ulinski that goes behind the scenes with the people running businesses across the Mohawk Valley.

Season two of the Building Local Business podcast launched with a familiar face and a lot of new ground.
