OJAI TALK OF THE TOWN: BILL MOSES
Who’s from Ojai?
Host: Bret Bradigan
Guest: Bill Moses
From Bret Bradigan: Ojai's foremost serial entrepreneur and angel investor Bill Moses drops in for a spirited discussion about a range of issues facing Ojai, including the local economy, dealing with national companies when you own a local company, the Thomas Fire, his background growing up in rural Pennsylvania, moving and shaking on Wall Street, making the move to Ojai and the future of the world.
Bill is the co-founder, chairman/CEO of KeVita Probiotic Drinks, which was acquired by PepsiCo. He is also a leading strategist and innovator for companies in the food and beverage and skin-care industries.
We talked about his harrowing experience with COVID-19, founding Casa Barranca winery, the first certified organic vineyard in California, building an entrepreneurs' incubator in Ojai, and much, much more. We did not talk about Emiliano Zapata, salmon farming, or the value of Siberian sable pelts.

Who’s from Ojai?
Host: Bret Bradigan
Guest: Daren Thomas Magee
From Bret Bradigan: A well-known artist and illustrator, Daren brings his distinctive pen to many recognizable places around Ojai for his hundreds of thousands of followers. Daren talks about growing up on the frozen tundra of Buffalo, New York, and how he lucked into a graphic design course in high school that gave him the idea he could create a career for himself doing what he'd be doing anyway — drawing.
We re-release this wide-ranging and fascinating talk with this enigmatic artist who has left his Ojai-inflected distinctive stamp all around the world. We talk about plant medicine, public schools, Buffalo's surprisingly vibrant arts scene, and much, much more. We did not talk about Plains Indians and their kinship with the millions of bison that once roamed through our country, flint-knapping or counting coup.
