In this premiere episode, co-hosts Brian Hamrick and Alex Jarbo, co-owners of Engadine Inn & Cabins, share their firsthand experience navigating the devastation of Hurricane Helene and how their business became a vital part of the recovery effort in Western North Carolina.

Located in Candler, NC, just 15 minutes from downtown Asheville, Engadine served as a shelter, distribution hub, and rally point for Aerial Recovery and over 400 volunteers supporting the community.

We discuss:

• What Engadine Inn & Cabins is and what makes it so unique
• The impact of Hurricane Helene on local tourism and business
• How Engadine became a lifeline for the community post-storm
• The real story behind Asheville’s recovery—95% of the area is open and thriving
• What this podcast will be about going forward: short-form interviews with local business owners rebuilding after the storm

💬 "People think Asheville is closed. It’s not. This town is open, alive, and rebuilding stronger than ever."
