Hello Hello

On this episode we are joined by Karen Schopen, owner of Molasses Grill.

We took the Rogers Radio podcast on the road this week, and are recording at Karen's home! Karen and Alyssa discuss how she got her start, her motto, her unfortunate recent injury, and how to have the heart of a servant.

Her business advice is to have a good accountant and to always be goal driven.

On this bonus episode, we have exciting news to share with y'all! Effective Feb 6., Rogers Heating and Cooling has closed on their first acquisition. Kevin Pawson joins us from Kerr Lake Heating and Air.

This news is 6 months in the making, and we are grateful for the relationship we have built with Kevin. Kevin is nervous, excited and confident about signing over Kerr Lake to Rogers. Kevin has completed over 230 skydives and says the feeling is the same as when he's about to jump out of a plane.

We are so excited to continue serving you. Kevin wants to let his existing customers know that, "Rogers will take care of you as good or better than Kerr Lake would."

Matt trains both Alyssa and Joey and they wanted to share him with all the listeners of the show. With it being a New Year, most people's resolutions include losing weight and/or getting into better shape. Matt shares his tips on how to achieve your 2023 goal body.

His easy tips for the new year are:

1. Consistency!

Matt shares that people fail or quit because they take on too much too soon.

2. Cut out sugar! Try and find the grilled options and lean more towards protein bars instead of candy bars!

To wrap up this episode, Matt says, "if it matters to you, you will make time."
