VIP Café Show – Youngstown, Ohio – Local Guests with Amazing Impact to Our Community
Friendships begin based on numerous circumstances. Many are created because of similar interests and hobbies. For example, being part of the same sports team or maybe being a member of the same academic club. Other friendships are formed based on proximity or what neighborhood you grew up in. Whatever the reason, having a good solid friendship is a wonderful thing.We believe Podcasts are very similar to friendships. They are many times created by a few people who have common interests and share a similar vision. They are generally formed to help “inform” others about a variety of topics and subject matter. The question many Podcasters ask themselves is….why me/us? With so many options to choose from as a listener, what makes one Podcast better than another? We believe it all begins with….a good host or pair of hosts! That is exactly how The VIP Café Show came to fruition. Two friends, Greg Smith and Brian Blasko had a conversation while enjoying a cigar on a cool crisp January evening and the rest as they say…is history.The VIP Café Show was created to inform, educate and entertain listeners from the great city of Youngstown, OH. Although The VIP Café Show listeners reach far beyond the Youngstown area, the primary focus of the show is to highlight local “Youngstowners” and to hear their story. The Podcast also dives into a variety of fascinating topics besides Youngstown. Greg and Brian love discussing leadership, public speaking, customer care, team building, and life in general. They are always fascinated by what makes people tick and how people became (or are becoming) the person they are today! The VIP Café Show is a fun and informative program that engages the audience with every interview, conversation, and dialog that transpires.

E12: VIP Café Show featuring Bob, Rob, and Brianna Komara from Komara Jewelers
https://www.komarajewelers.com
October 1948, Stephen Komara opened the doors to his very own jewelry store on State Street in Struthers, Ohio. His goal was to offer the very best quality to his neighbors and friends. In 1977, Steve’s eldest son, Robert, opened Komara Jewelers’ second location in Cornersburg, offering the same top quality jewelry through experienced sales dedication and affordable prices to their customers.
With the east end of town (Struthers) and the west end of town (Cornersburg) attending to their growing list of satisfied customers, Steve Komara’s youngest son, Tom, identified the need to serve all the customers in between, and in 1985 opened Komara Jewelers third store in Boardman. Komara Jewelers became a true force in diamond and jewelry buying power. Three stores dedicated to quality products, jewelry repair, and friendly customer service made Komara Jewelers a household name in the Youngstown area.
In order to accommodate their ever-growing customer base, Bob Komara moved his Cornersburg store to its present location, in the Coal Creek Plaza in 1993. And since their father’s retirement and closing of the Struthers store, Tom Komara relocated his Boardman store to the Bull Market Square in Poland.
Although store locations have changed over the years, and despite the recent closing of Tom’s Boardman store, one thing that has never changed is the ideals upon which their father, the founder of Komara Jewelers, established in 1948… “To treat customers the way you want to be treated…” The diamond buying expertise, trained by their father, has helped maintain Komara Jewelers' reputation as Northeast Ohio’s Best Diamond and Jewelry Value.
Now, Komara Jewelers looks to extend its legacy in the Valley into a third generation. Bob’s Daughter, Brianna Komara, joins as a GIA Graduate Gemologist and son Robert, a GIA Graduate in Jewelry Design, GIA Graduate in Diamonds, and GIA Graduate Jeweler. They both look forward to continuing the Komara tradition from one generation to the next.
