Episode 33: Madison Zabala

In this episode, host Dave Fiore speaks with Madison Zabala, owner of Tallahassee Picnic, a luxury pop-up picnic service she bought with her twin sister, Makenzie, just after graduating from Leon High School. The Tallahassee native with strong roots in nearby Hosford also works as a bank teller, is a college student and just celebrated her one-year wedding anniversary with husband, Ish.

The 20-year-old homeowner has experienced a lot in her young life and was recently recognized by Rowland Publishing and 850 magazine with the 2021 Marjorie Turnbull Pinnacle Award for young women of extraordinary promise.

Madison’s parents say she always had a vision for her life, and she has proven that she will work as hard as necessary to make it happen. She is currently pursuing a degree in communication science and disorders and hopes to one day be a speech pathologist.
