TGIF!

Jacquie Mahan is definitely one of a kind. This incredible lady founded The Awesome Company back in 2015(ish) and she's carved out a really special niche for adults with autism. From the employees-to the hand-written thank you letters-to the personal product delivery...this company is really somethin' special.

But really who cares about the company because all Jacquie really wants to talk about is her damn pigs. So much so, that we've decided to do our very FIRST show contest in honor of Jacquie's pig obsession.

Here's how you play:

Listen to the show
Count the number of times we say "pig" or take an educated guess
Send a DM to @thekericroftshow with your guess
Win a $250 GC toward a custom printing order with The Awesome Company

The first person to DM with the closest number wins the prize.

I met Anthony via Kim & Doug Verhoff many moons ago and immediately knew he was as good egg. A few weeks ago, I ran into Anthony at Stauf's where I found out he low-key gives back on his bday and then it led to "why in the hell are you single" and here we are.

In this bonus episode, we talk Lunch Box Ohio and I grill him on what he wants in a mate.

Calling all single ladies: This is a serious mission to find Anthony a bride. If you're interested, please DM  @thekericroftshow or email [email protected].

She’s toured with DJ Khaled and curated dinners for celebs, including Snoop Dogg and Quavo.  In front of dinner crowds, she weaves stories about life, culture and local cuisine.  

Most of all, Chef Nikki is a cool a** human being who's smart, funny, and teaches you a thing or three within 10 minutes of talking to her. This woman is one of a kind and I'm SO glad we've made it into each other's orbit.

The Vindys are an incredibly talented band from Youngstown, OH made up of a cool ass group of humans. Since 2014, they've been growing their loyal fan base with their unique blend of pop, soul, and rock. Led by powerhouse singer/songwriter Jackie Popovec, this band is one to watch, baby! 

I'm a BIG fan.

If you haven't heard their music yet, please take a minute and check them out on Spotify or wherever you get your music, K?

See you at the top, Vindys!

Meet Kim Pheiffer. She's the CEO of KP Designs Group and it only takes about two seconds to understand why she's been so successful throughout her life. 

During this episode, we talk about everything from her divorce, to growing the business, to how she stays so damn HOT. I mean, I ask ALL of the questions because the people wanna know!

This was such a fun interview and I dare you not to love it.

I found Derek Skelton on TikTok. He was lip synching a Vince Vaughn line from Wedding Crashers, and he drew me in. I started going down the typical rabbit hole on his page, and then I saw that he's a talented singer, too...

So, naturally I reached out and asked if we could be friends...and here we are.

Please go follow Derek and listen to his new single on Spotify called Old Days. It's such a catchy song and I can't get it out of my head. Plus, it's got a really great message about meeting someone the old fashioned way in today's crazy world.

P.S. He's single, ladies!

Wayne Lewis started 614 Media Group in 1997 and his biz has spawned several successful magazines like (614) magazine, Stock and Barrel, Columbus Restaurant Week and more. Wayne also loves to cook, so naturally he tried out for Master Chef with Gordon Ramsey and made it to 5th place.

His no bullshit energy and "try me" attitude are two qualities that I gravitate toward, and I loved talking to him about everything from biz to bbq.

I met Jesse back in 2022 at the Summit Series. I had a 5 minute interaction with him, asked for his Insta handle, and walked away knowing we'd be friends someday. He has that certain something that you can't teach, and there was this energetic thing about him that had me at hello.

Jesse is a music producer turned CEO, and if you scroll through his profile you'll see him smiling alongside the who's who of hip hop (@jessekay) 

Today, he's the CEO of Nue Agency, where he sits at the center of music, brands, and technology.

You don't want to miss this episode! Jesse's energy is infectious, and I dare you not to get a dopamine hit from just listening to him.

Thanks Jesse, BFF's forever ;)
