  • Darcy Manning: Building a Beauty Brand With Heart
    Apr 28 2026

    In this episode of the Studio 321 Podcast, hosted by Angela and Diana, we sit down with professional makeup artist and founder of DARCYMM, Darcy Manning, to talk about turning passion, artistry, and grit into a full-time beauty business. From makeup school in downtown LA to leading a 16-artist agency on the Space Coast, Darcy shares how her love for glam, storytelling, and serving women evolved into DarcyMM Makeup Artistry, The DarcyMM Collective, and her own vegan beauty line.

    Darcy opens up about the realities of entrepreneurship—eating, breathing, and sleeping the work—while staying obsessed with quality and only putting her name on products she can stand behind 100 percent. We dive into confidence, aging, beauty standards, and how listening deeply to clients shapes everything she creates, from bridal looks to SPF 50 skincare collabs. You’ll also hear how she uses her gifts to give back through projects like Operation Superhero with Candlelighters of Brevard, helping kids in cancer treatment feel like true heroes for a day.

  • Lindsey Ruschak: Leading REALTORS® and Serving the Space Coast
    Apr 14 2026

    In this episode of the Studio 321 Podcast, hosted by Steve, Angela, and Jason, we sit down with Lindsey Ruschak, Chief Executive Officer of the Space Coast Association of REALTORS®, to talk about leadership, advocacy, and the future of real estate on the Space Coast. Lindsey shares how she went from “fun employment” after her family business closed to walking into the association in 2011 as Education Director—and, twelve years of showing up later, stepping into the CEO role in 2023.

    We dig into what the association actually does for local REALTORS® and consumers, from running the MLS and professional standards to legislative advocacy and protecting private property rights. Lindsey breaks down how tech and portal sites fit into the ecosystem, why she believes people still want to work with people, and how a unified association voice helps shape policy at the local and state level. She also shares candid insights on culture, low staff turnover, collaboration with neighboring associations, and her passion for serving housing‑insecure kids here in Brevard.
