• Retail Grind, Real Growth - Sara Slaughter - Brianne’s Boutique
    Feb 17 2026
    People love to say, “How hard can a boutique be? You buy cute clothes and people show up.” Sara Slaughter smiles at that, because she has lived the real version. The one where you are the buyer, the trainer, the marketer, the problem-solver, and sometimes the IT department too.

    Sara talks about the early years of Brianne’s Boutique, when they were still figuring out what the store really was, how to reach the right customers, and how to keep showing up even when the learning curve was steep.

    Now, with 15 years behind them and a bigger move coming in summer 2026, she’s still playing to win. Not by chasing trends, but by building trust, creating a real in-store experience, and sticking to one simple motto: bigger isn’t better, better is better.

    Feb 10 2026
    In this episode of Southside Voices, Jeremiah Hamman shares the behind-the-scenes story of bringing Mo’s A Place for Steaks to Greenwood from the hush-hush deal-making and “math has to math” decisions to what it’s like leading a team of 100+ people.

    We also get into why purpose matters more than money, how community partnerships (Aspire Economic Development + Chamber Alliance, the Office of the Mayor, and Perry Township Schools) shaped early giveback efforts, and how a charitable wine dinner connected to the Graham & Courtney Rahal Foundation turned hospitality into impact.

    Feb 3 2026
    Pricing gets weird when it comes to your beauty. Becca Daly of Balanced Beauty doesn’t dodge that tension.

  • Why DIY Epoxy Floors Fail - Aaron Kyle - Tak Epoxy
    Jan 27 2026
    Aaron Kyle, co-owner of Tak Epoxy, breaks down what people don’t see: the prep work that makes the whole floor last, the difference between water-based DIY kits and solvent-based systems, and why so many “simple” garage projects end up getting replaced. He also shares the hard lessons of underbidding older concrete, how they handle surprises without dumping it on the homeowner, and the little things that build trust, like dropping off a locked storage trailer so you’re not living with your stuff in the driveway for a week.

  • The Real Cost of Rushed Care - Dr. Robyn Wright - Healthy Evolutions
    Jan 20 2026
    Most people don’t leave their doctor because of one bad visit. They leave because they’re tired of feeling rushed, unheard, and stuck on the same path with no real answers.

    In this conversation, Dr Robyn Wright of Healthy Evolutions walks through the long road that led her into naturopathic medicine and why she stepped away from faster, surface level care in the first place. Scott and Robin dig into what actually drives healthcare costs, why insurance feels broken to so many families, and how individualized care changes the entire equation.

    From hormones and lab work to pricing, burnout, and patient trust, this episode pulls back the curtain on what thoughtful, slower medicine really looks like and why it matters.

    Dr. Robyn Wright bio:

    I’ve been immersed in healthcare for as long as I can remember. After earning my undergraduate degree at La Salle University, I managed a series of weight loss centers and even started my own health coaching business before entering medical school. In 2018, I earned my medical degree from the Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine (now Sonoran University of Health Sciences), and upon graduation, I completed a year-long residency in primary care. With over two decades of professional experience, my journey has taken me through various roles, from front desk reception, to back office administration, and even a pharmaceutical rep. Witnessing individuals try various approaches, often with little or no success, was an eye-opening experience. As a naturopathic doctor, I found that by addressing underlying health concerns, following healthy eating principles, and making lifestyle adjustments, my patients were truly able to transform their health! While I do treat most health concerns, I primarily focus on hormones, thyroid, and metabolic health for women and men at all phases of life.

  • What Real Detailing Actually Takes - Rob Barkdull - All In One Auto Detailing
    Jan 13 2026
    Most people think a “detail” is a quick wash, a little shine, and you are back on the road. Robin Barkdull does not play that game. He tells the truth about what real detailing actually is, why it takes hours, and why “I can do that in my driveway” is not the same as restoring and protecting a car at a higher standard. In this conversation,

    Robin breaks down pricing in a way that feels human, not salesy. He talks about time, labor, overhead, product quality, and the hidden stuff customers never see, like lighting, training, and temperature controlled work that has to be done right or it is not worth doing at all. And he shares the hard lesson every service business learns sooner or later: sometimes you quote 10 hours and it turns into 40, and your reputation still has to win.
