Everything surrounding us is made of energy including our thoughts and emotions. Starting at a young age, we experience life events, traumas and situations/people that cause us stress. This leads us to feel heavy, low vibrational emotions such as anger, guilt, shame, jealousy, etc. Overtime, they become stuck in our body and may eventually manifest into physical pain. 

In this episode of the Shoemaker Lab, we meet Katie, owner of Energy Healing With Katie, located in St. Alban's Circle in Newtown Square.  She shares what it's like to experience the emotional, physical, and mental recharging of a Reiki session, as well as her spiritual life coaching services.

Morgan and Dane sit down with Gab and Thad, co-owners of Yo! Coffee, the brand new drive-through coffee shop in Media, PA.  The couple recently leased and renovated an old Swiss Farms store to pursue their dream of starting a business and brought a West-Coast themed drive thru concept, that is currently dominated by Starbucks and McDonalds.

We deep dive on the origins of the idea, coming up with the brand's namesake, the fun branding and merch, and all of the trials and tribulations of starting a business.  Thad and Gab are world- travelers and make it a point when they are in another country or city to explore the local coffee scene.

This was a fun episode, and everything the couple does is infused with humor and joy, and getting to know these two and learning about their journey into entrepreneurship was an inspiring and unforgettable experience.

Video podcasting has grown immensely over the past 12-18 months, and represents one of the best opportunities for brands and businesses to market themselves in 2024.  It's a great way to increase authority and differentiate yourself, create a system for networking and lead generation, establishes a content "factory" for your business, and opens up or increases existing revenue channels.
