Meet Tommy Priest. We have all seen him, talked to him, and better have had a cup of his coffee. But, do you know him? Why does he wears a hat all the time. Why doesn't he brag more about the fact that he graduated for 3 time National Champion, Appalachian State (that was for me). My favorite... Why he loves Winston-Salem, NC so much. He loves people and helping others.   He loves protecting local treasures like the children's home land for all to enjoy. He is a husband, a father to 2 amazing daughters...and a really cool dude. 

Please listen and enjoy.

Owens Daniels shared his love of Winston Salem outside Krankies (www.krankiescoffee.com) prior to a new photography exhibit.  We talked about Covid, the protests, where he finds inspiration, his favorite things to photograph and ....walking around downtown with a toilet on rollers.  I learned what true activism is by being a humanist.  He cares, he loves and he takes awesome pictures.  His day gave him a piece of advice that he follows to this day.  "Everybody has a story to tell" son tell what you see.  

Please listen and enjoy.

This week's guest is Dr. Craig Richardson, a professor of economics at Winston Salem State, and also the founder of the center for the study of economic mobility.

John and Dr. Richardson talked about how COVID-19 is affecting Winston-Salem and the country as a whole. We also discussed the B.I.G. idea (business wanting profits, individuals wanting upward mobility, and the government wanting a further tax basis) and how we can manipulate that to help our county progress out of the current state of economic immobility.
