Teenagers shut away from the rest of family, sitting alone in a dark room in front of a monitor with a headset... every parent's worst-case scenario, right? That narrative is changing, folks!  Owners of Level Up Esports, Matt Phillips and Jim MacDonald, sat down in their recently outfitted, state-of-the-art gaming facility in Cornelius with host Hanna Schoenrock to talk about how their vision became a reality and what the future holds for gamers (it's really cool!). For parents who've wished our kids would get outside and off the couch and away from the gaming screen, this story is a positive, exciting one. Last year, Matt and Jim decided to create a space for kids to come to a safe place, participate in a sport (gaming), be on a team, have the opportunity to win trophies and make new friends, and get coaching and mentorship. Oh, and some of these kids are preparing to enter college on esports scholarships! That's a thing!You'll hear more about how Level Up Esports became a reality--including when they initially had to set and up and tear down computers and headsets and other equipment like a pop-up business. The current facility is high-end, but their prices are not. They work hard to make it possible for anyone aged 7-15 to participate. There's even a Club option for kids over 15 who want to play and compete.Level Up Esports offers recreational gaming, coached gaming, team competitions with national teams, tournaments, Club-level competition, and camps. The kids--some with disabilities, some who are not drawn to traditional sports, others who play traditional sports during some seasons and game in other seasons--are all gamers, and they've found a place to make friends, learn life lessons, play games in a safe space, and compete if they want to. The parents tell amazing stories of the positive impacts this organization has had on their kids.This is a feel-good story. Enjoy!And a huge THANK YOU to sponsor 760 Docks!Information regarding Level Up Esports:Website: https://lknesports.com/about-us/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/LVLupLKN Instagram: @lvl_up_esportsnc Email: matt@levelupesports.ggPhone: 704-879-3529Information regarding the Sponsor of this episode:  760 DocksBusiness Phone:  704-966-9437, Email:  Hello@760Docks.com Website:  https://www.760Docks.comFacebook:  https://www.facebook.com/LKN-Repair-GroupInstagram:  @760DocksFloat in style on the lake this summer with one of their viral FloaTABLES for $500 off plus free delivery for LKN residents with code LKNLOCAL on their website 760Docks.com Support the show

Our guest for Episode 64 is Patty Korn, a Denver local, a valuable asset to the Lincoln County Community, and an all-around selfless, fantastic person. If you've driven around Denver, you've most likely seen her; she's on the side of the road or on a median, dressed in safety gear from head to toe, picking up the trash that people throw out their windows or that blows off vehicles. And does it for free. You'll love hearing Patty's story of how she got from Illinois to Denver, of spending 20 years in the Air Force, of working in corporate after her years of Air Force service, of retiring to care for her elderly parents, and of deciding to make her community beautiful. She just gives. And she works really hard. You'll find her on roadsides, waterways, and medians--wherever she sees the need. You'll also find her at County Commissioners meetings and at the Sheriff Department, asking for their help and building relationships that result in willing cooperation with her and her mission.Patty is President of Keep Lincoln County Beautiful, and she has tremendous support from Hessed House of Hope (to clean the railways), DABA (Denver Area Business Association), LKN Realty, and ELBA (East Lincoln Betterment Association), in addition to some loyal friends who volunteer to pick up trash on roadways and medians with her and to drive boats to clean up waterways. She's always looking for volunteers. She advises against small children helping with the roadway cleanups because "it's gross and it's dangerous" -- but she welcomes everyone else.Patty spends a lot of her own money on her mission. Her safety gear was donated to her, and the Department of Transportation donates official roadside cleanup bags. But she buys the black trash bags, the litter pick-up tools, push brooms, shovels, and "lots of Gatorade." She has a GoFundMe called Litter Free Denver NC. Please consider donating to this worthy cause. You can also donate to Keep Lincoln County Beautiful, which The LKN Experience podcast is supporting for the month of August. Let's show our appreciation to this Beautification Warrior and fill her coffers so she can focus on doing what she loves--making Lincoln County beautiful!You can connect with Patty for more information and you can donate to help at:Litter Free Denver NC GoFundMe: https://www.gofundme.com/f/ncaqr-litterfree-denver-ncKeep Lincoln County Beautiful: https://www.klcbnc.org/  Patty's email: pattykornpjk@aol.comInformation regarding our Podcast Sponsors:Mike Bagwell, Enders Insurance:Facebook https://www.facebook.com/MikeBagwellEndersInsuranceAdvisorLinkedIn www.linkedin.com/in/mikebagwellriskmanager/On Instagram @MikeBagwellEndersInsurancePhone: (704) 489-3650Email:  MBagwell@EndersInsurance.com Hanna Schoenrock, WriteWell Services:via email hanna@writewellservices.comon her cell (704) 956-6523 on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/WriteWellServices on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/hanna-schoenrock/Support the show (https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=NMSD3RDP2L7DU)Support the show (https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=NMSD3RDP2L7DU)
