Start Local Podcast Spring Networking Event

We'll be gathering as a community in Coatesville, Pa on Wednesday, May 6th from 5 to 7 PM. This opportunity to meet and mingle with business and nonprofit leaders from in and around Chester County is free to attend, but registration is required. 

Come on out for an evening of great people, meaningful conversations, and delicious local food and drink.

For many, music is as much a part of life as breathing. We drop the needle on a conversation with Shawn Cephas, owner of Forever Changes, a record store in Phoenixville, Pennsylvania. Shawn shares how his deep love for and expansive knowledge of music has driven him to open a shop that is as much a space to learn about music as to buy records. We explore the intimate connection that Shawn’s family has with music. Through our conversation, Shawn offers a lesson in music history as we journey through genres. Whether you’re a lifelong collector or just getting into the groove, this episode strikes a chord.
