Everything AVL with Michele Scheve

GUEST: Matthew Rodriquez of Harrah's Cherokee Center in Asheville

GUEST: Kendra Penland

Michele and Marie sat down at The Mason House, at Emory University Hospital in Atlanta, GA just before their Kidney Transplant surgery for a very personal and vulnerable conversation about this process and how they arrived here. Two friends from middle school who hadn't seen each other in almost 30 years, now about to share a kidney. They wanted to wait until they were both in the operating room until this was published up as a podcast. They both feel the love and support and encouragement being given to them by so many. So, while they are under, they wanted you to be able to hear their story - from their own mouths - and to offer their thanks for your support. There is laughing, there is crying - but above all there is the sweetest light that can come from the human spirit, on full display, in this conversation.If you would like to learn more or would like to make a small donation to their Kidney Transplant Fund - Phase 3, please follow THIS LINK:https://www.gofundme.com/f/michele-scheve-kidney-transplant-fund-phase-3?utm_source=customer&utm_medium=copy_link&utm_campaign=p_cf+share-flow-1

Liz Whalen Tallent is the owner/manager of Asheville premiere concert venue, The Orange Peel, a 1500 capacity person destination in downtown Asheville. Having to close because of the global pandemic gives their industry more of a challenge in the push for reopening. Liz and I talk about all the opportunities and challenges their industry is facing.
