Aimé Nuñez grew up in Oak Cliff, built a career in tech, and walked away from it after a season of loss with no clear plan for what came next. What followed was Pegasus Creative Reuse, a secondhand art supply shop built on a pay-what-you-want model and a belief that creativity should be accessible to anyone. In this episode, Aimé shares how grief led her to art, how she unexpectedly took over Pegasus, and what it’s like to run a business rooted in generosity. We talk about risk, generosity, and the impact of putting creative tools back into the community.

Lindsey Munchrath, founder of Beatnik Fine Goods, joins The Hidden City to talk about creating a retail space rooted in community, creativity, and connection in Oak Cliff. From her early days in customer service and fashion to opening her own shop after becoming a mother, Lindsey shares how Beatnik has evolved, shifting from globally sourced goods to spotlighting local artists and makers. We talk about trusting your instincts, growing a business alongside family life, and what it means to build something that feels personal in a neighborhood that values relationships over transactions. Along the way, Lindsey reflects on the rhythms of small business, the importance of listening to your customers, and why staying rooted in place can shape something truly lasting.
