Spatial Awareness

I've known Luke Pilgrim for too many years to count now...one thing, no matter what he was up to, that has been consistent throughout those years is he's a CREATOR.
I first met Luke when our two indie bands were touring the country - but our worlds didn't collide in some strange city far away from home.
It was right here in a small town in North Georgia.
Shortly afterward Luke met Brad and Brad met Luke and a shared passion for film and creating ignited a friendship/business partnership that has led to incredible original films, docupromo films for organizations and official music videos.
Listen to their story here!
You might find you're inspired to pick up a camera and start making a movie of your own!

Have you ever sat around and felt "bored"? What could you do with all that time?
In today's episode we talk to Evan Roberts - owner and founder of the fastest growing and truly impressive real estate photography business: VISUALLY SOLD and find out what HE DID with his time...
When you first meet Evan you might unfairly underestimate him because of how young he looks/young he is. But, it doesn't take long after listening to him talk about his business, company culture and his reasoning behind starting VISUALLY SOLD from scratch that your "I'm Impressed" radar starts bleeping.
YOU are going to love to hear this inspirational story of how a high school dropout who admittedly had zero motivation went FROM COUCH POTATO TO SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS OWNER/FOUNDER.
Real Estate agents, Realtors, etc are going to love hearing why they need to kick their current photographer(s) to the curb and get on board with VISUALLY SOLD...

What does "SISU" mean?
You might have thought we just misspelled "sushi" :)
In today's episode we sit down with Jamie Reynolds - Executive Director of SISU: a non-profit integrated learning environment where children from 6 weeks to 6 years with special needs learn and interact alongside their typically developing peers.
We talk about what "SISU" means, the 13+ counties it serves in Georgia and how they're one of the only facilities/programs/schools providing resources for children and parents in the U.S.
Jamie tells us her own story of being a mother of 5, losing a child and how that paved the way to her role today.
Every single day lives are changed at this school, incredible stories are happening - whether it's a child with special needs conquering a milestone previously believed to be improbable or a typically developing child using adaptive thinking to communicate with a nonverbal autistic child.
LISTEN to this incredible story and please find out more about SISU here:

We've never sat in the same room with anyone more inspirational than these two brothers - Brent Pease and Kyle Pease.
Theirs is a story of PASSION, BROTHERHOOD and RELENTLESS DETERMINATION.
Today's episode will make you laugh, cry and ultimately leave you inspired.
Inspired to strive to be better no matter what challenges and obstacles you are faced with.

Kyle Pease was diagnosed with cerebral palsy as a child - While his condition limited his ability to play sports, it didn't dampen Kyle's passion for them, nor did it stop the Pease family from including Kyle in various excursions.

After witnessing Brent complete his first IRONMAN competition, Kyle asked Brent a life-changing question: Can people in wheelchairs do IRONMAN? Brent never hesitated with his response. The answer was a resounding YES.

Now after competing at the IRONMAN TRIATHLON WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP in Kona, Hawaii they visit SPATIAL AWARENESS to share their story of their journey, what inspired them to create their foundation THE KYLE PEASE FOUNDATION and all of the ups and downs they've shared together.

Being outside is one of THE most therapeutic things we can do as humans.

THIS WEEK we talk to Demario Pressley - former NFL star of the New Orleans Saints (a part of the Super Bowl XLIV-winning team) and his lovely wife Kristle Pressley about their amazing brand new business GEAUX BIKES (pronounced "GO BIKES") and how they have created a remarkably convenient and affordable way for people to be more active together as a family and community.

We talk about Demario's humble beginnings, his thoughts on why he has an entrepreneurial drive, what it was like to be in the NFL, his advice to young athletes AND how they came up with the BIKE SHARE/BIKE RENTAL concept.
We talk about how he and Kristle first met, why her cooking led to him having to workout twice as hard (spoiler alert: she's from NOLA and cook like a masterchef!) and how they ended up calling Forsyth County home.

Together Kristle and Demario were some of the most charming people we've had on the show and we are so excited for you to learn more about them and their incredible new business.

When Kurt told me who we were going to interview for this episode I couldn't believe it. Especially when I started researching the insane accomplishments and things that our guest this week PAUL JENKINS has created.
Imagine a super hero or comic book character right now...chances are he's worked on/written their stories.
Here's a short list: Spider-Man, Batman, The Incredible Hulk, and the smash hit, Wolverine: Origin
Oh, and if you're a child of the 80's like myself buckle up...you might fall out of your chair because his work also includes the original
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 😳
In this episode Paul Jenkins and Sarah Boyd the CEO of his new cross media production studio META STUDIOS (www.metastudios.com) sit down with us and talk about all of the various projects and characters he has worked on in comics, books, movies and video games.
He highlights what it takes to be successful in ANY industry, why GEORGIA has the GREATEST potential for the entertainment industry and how META STUDIOS plans to create a place for creators to own and operate their creations,  a place that will help them maximize their full potential while building an ecosystem that is truly sustainable.
