Today: Addison Niday, who is an artist that's new to Augusta and he's bringing IT with him! IT, in this case, being artistic talent, entrepreneurial skills, and a desire and passion to work hard. Addison really jumped onto the Augusta scene after refinishing the old Coca-Cola mural on Reynolds Street and talks to us about how that led to him absolutely blowing up around Augusta, where he has since painted countless murals in a relatively short time frame and has countless more in store, including one project that is going to take the whole STATE by storm.

Keep up with his work on IG at @GardenCityArtist

Today: A new take on the business of beer. Going off of the growing beer-out-of-a-truck business model, TapTruck2State is bringing classic, collectible trucks to the mobile beer business. Starting with a 1 of 5 prohibition-style truck, Mike and his partner and coworker, Mr. Pond, grew this business from scratch all while learning every bit of it as they went. Mike talks about how he came to Augusta for a job that soon dissappeared, which set him on a track to building, and innovating, his dream business.

Today: We continue our local music spotlight series with the youngest band to date to be on the show: Estimated Principles. These guys are talented! They started, not by learning covers, but by writing their own music. And now, after some local shows and some shows in Atlanta, they've released their first album. Check them out at venues like Southbound, any all-ages venues, and maybe even some parking lots near you.

Today: Ramiro Galvan, the co-founder of El Rey (x2) and Munchies Lab. Ramiro talks to us about how he and his family, immigrants from Mexico, came to find themselves in Augusta and how he worked his way from being a dishwasher to being an owner of multiple restaurants that people now can't get enough of. Ramiro seems kind of like a hidden gem, because not only does he have 3 restaurants in operation, but he has more plans for Augusta, and all of his plans come from wanting to grow his city. Oh yeah, and something and penis shaped waffles.

Today: We highlight a local nonprofit: the My Why Foundation. We talk to founder John Travis and enthusiastic supporter Chris Willox about how the nonprofit came to be and how they try to accomplish their mission: to help close the wealth gap and get people invested in their futures - literally. They're currently providing classes that teach people how to get started with investing AND they're giving away free money to the people that do so! Not only that, but they are also working to improve our school curriculums to promote financial literacy.

Support them today! MyWhyFoundation.org

Today: We catch up with an old friend. When we interviewed Jason Craig in 2019, he was an up and coming artist with an awesome story and a really cool plan. Now, after he has become, in his words, a one-man-agency, it's probably safe to say that he exceeded his own expectations. We talk about his murals around the city, his mural camp that was an incredible hit, his worldwide work, his accolades (he doesn't love to share these so we made him talk about it all), and his vision for making Augusta a better place in his own way.

If you want to hear more about Jason's story: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/dropthedis-augusta/id1463070558?i=1000525345438
