For episode #94 I visited a curated goods and apparel store in the Germantown neighborhood of Nashville. Kate Sbarra is an Arkansas transplant who set her eyes on this area of town and opened this year's most talked about shop.

Alexis and Bolt is a boutique for men and women. I visited this place on a sunny afternoon and found not only a great store but a wonderful community and a savvy & down to earth owner! I am dead serious she is rocking it.    Kate and I talk about how she found a great mentor that gave her some great advice and direction about opening her store. Kate shares more on finding the right fit with a mentor and the one thing you don’t want to focus on when starting your first business.    We also chat about our favorite restaurants here in Nashville, because we both love this city and the food scene.    Butchertown Hall Rolf & Daughters   What KATE is loving:    Stemless Tumblers for Wine found at her store.

Hey Everyone, it's episode #93! My guest is a wellness entrepreneur & restaurant owner Jennifer Masley. She is the owner of EIO + The Hive here in Nashville. Her motto and passion are summed up in these few words "One Body, One Life".  The EIO stands for Everything is Organic. Jennifer and her team make space for people to eat what they want in the healthiest way possible. There is something for everyone at this healthy restaurant. As I walked in for our interview I was served the most delicious Kombucha I've ever had. The minute you walk into this place you feel the stress melt away and you just want to sit and drink it all in. Jennifer and I had a conversation about why bees & the hive are so important to her and how we can all bring a little peace & goodness to our own dinner tables. Join me on my fun trip to EIO + The Hive.   App - Calm Things she is loving:   The Prime: Prepare and Repair your Body for Spontaneous Weight-loss Andrew Weil - 8 Weeks to Optimum Health Face Oil by Ebb&Flow   The Southern Steak & Oyster Fin & Pearl     Support Rising Stories Podcast by shopping HERE.
