Zero To Ten

We're sitting down with Andy Smith, publisher of Charlotte Magazine, to chat with him about his role, media in Charlotte and so much more. 

This week we're sitting down with Richmond Brautigan, a member of the incredible Leading on Opportunity team here in Charlotte. Think of LOO as a think tank for nonprofits working toward different aspects of economic mobility. Richmond is taking us through how they use data to connect nonprofits over larger issues and make folks aware of where they can have the most impact.  

And we mean that in the best way. We knew this local nonprofit organization had a lot going on, but sitting with COO Shelly Biby we truly learned how much time, energy and work they put into supporting Charlotte students. We loved learning more about the organization and how we as a community might be able to support them. 

We're sitting down with Paul Reali, co-founder and executive director of Charlotte LIT, to learn more about the organization, how it was formed, what makes Paul passionate about it all and what types of programming they have coming up. If you also love to nerd out about writing and books, this episode is for you!

We're sitting down with the hygge team's newest addition, Bryan Archilla, to get to know him a little better now that he's been on the team for a few months. We talk about his background in video work, his time at a film school that ended up being a ponzi scheme, the podcast he hosts with two friends and seagulls. There's a lot about seagulls. Check it out.

We're sitting down with Garrett to talk all about the new partnership with Columbus-based COhatch and what it means for the business. We also get some tips about Milan, because that's just how Zero to Ten rolls.

We're sitting down with Jess Berresse, the better half of Seemingly Overzealous, a dairy-free ice cream shop coming to Camp North End in just a few weeks. She also just happens to be hygge coworking's owner, Garrett Tichy's, girlfriend. We learn about her favorite and least favorite flavors, get an update on the shop and talk about the difficulty of building a business with someone you also live with.

Meet Dylan Smith, owner of Current Nostalgia, one of the newest shops at Camp North End. Current Nostalgia is a streetwear boutique and brand which has been operating online since 2020 but just a few weeks ago opened its first physical location at Camp North End in Charlotte. We sat down with Dylan to learn about his journey, his dog and what exactly streetwear is. 

We're catching up with Michelle Fernandez, owner of super popular Charlotte brand Limoncitos, which features handmade home goods made out of terrazzo and polymer materials. Michelle's whole goal with her business is to encourage people to find joy in their home or work spaces and to help them create an environment which reflects them. She's also finishing up her second masters degree program in counseling and hopes to help others process trauma and emotions through art. 

We're so excited to introduce y'all to Eboni Huggins, the newest member of the hygge team. In addition to being a part time community manager with us, Eboni is also a small business owner, a writer, a podcast host and so much more. Wait until you hear about everything she's got going on.
