The story of Kendall and Dave Daly, the couple behind Amend Market, a sustainable plastic free refill shop located in Greenville, SC, may seem like a classic Romeo and Juliet tale: a Sustainability Coordinator and an Exxon Employee. Kendall’s family taught her the love for nature, which she eventually translated into a passion for sustainability in her own life. She brought the first plastic free refill shop to South Carolina- an option for people who wanted to cut down on unnecessary plastic waste. The idea is for people to bring any container they already have and fill it with products from Amend Market- dish soap, laundry detergent, all purpose cleaner, and other necessities for the home. Dave has been along for the ride in many ways from building the pull out system for their porch refills, setting up farmers market, working at the physical location, web design, and more. Listening to the way that their passion has driven them to where they are now is inspiring for any listener. Their honesty and excitement for their business is contagious. Tune in.

The “Summer Reading Series” kicks off with Chrissy and Ryan discussing a book that is jam packed with short pieces of advice and storires for any business owner or entrepreuner. They break down some of the big points including the controversial opinion of this author who says that you should be working 24x7x365 on your business, what you should actually learn to do in college, whether or not the amount you get paid should matter in your job, and why you shouldn’t listen to customers. This reading adventure is sure to be fun and will encourage some deeper thoughts into how you want your business and life to look. Tune in! 

Corinne and Cory Wickline aren't just regulars at Mountain Goat, they are business owners in the very early days of opening a franchise of a business called "Another Round." What is that you may ask? Well, it started in Charlotte, NC and it is centered around the game growing in popularity- Frisbee Golf. Another Round is a community hub for frisbee golf and beer, the place you want to go before or after a game. Chrissy is absent in this episode, but Ryan takes it all the way to the hard and the fun and the hope for this new business. This is a great episode to tune into if you're thinking about starting a business or in the early days and wondering if you're going crazy. Even though Corinne and Cory didn't take our advice to not start a business, they're out there doing it and giving it their all. You'll love this ep.

JP may have been Ryland's 'safe bet' when they met and became friends in college, but their friendship grew and they both realized they were meant for each other. As newlyweds, they learned to love customer service and the beginning stages of a small business through volunteering at some of their friends' brand new brewery (for tips!). After moving to Greenville for jobs, they immediately felt like there was something more that they wanted to build together. They started with their own photography business which grew quickly, but they still knew there was something more that they would build. A friend's advice, "Don't fret about finding the thing, think about who you want to be as people and family," led them to design Scout's Doughnuts, Greenville's only croissant style doughnuts with two locations in upstate SC and popping up daily in coffee shops across town. JP and Ryland are so thoughtful about their business and how they want it to look and it's truly inspiring. Listen for that inspo!
