I've known Luke Pilgrim for too many years to count now...one thing, no matter what he was up to, that has been consistent throughout those years is he's a CREATOR. I first met Luke when our two indie bands were touring the country - but our worlds didn't collide in some strange city far away from home. It was right here in a small town in North Georgia. Shortly afterward Luke met Brad and Brad met Luke and a shared passion for film and creating ignited a friendship/business partnership that has led to incredible original films, docupromo films for organizations and official music videos.

In today's episode we talk to Evan Roberts - owner and founder of the fastest growing and truly impressive real estate photography business: VISUALLY SOLD and find out what HE DID with his time... When you first meet Evan you might unfairly underestimate him because of how young he looks/young he is.

What does "SISU" mean? You might have thought we just misspelled "sushi" :) In today's episode we sit down with Jamie Reynolds - Executive Director of SISU: a non-profit integrated learning environment where children from 6 weeks to 6 years with special needs learn and interact alongside their typically developing peers. We talk about what "SISU" means, the 13+ counties it serves in Georgia and how they're one of the only facilities/programs/schools providing resources for children and parents in the U.S. Jamie tells us her own story of being a mother of 5, losing a child and how that paved the way to her role today. Every single day lives are changed at this school, incredible stories are happening - whether it's a child with special needs conquering a milestone previously believed to be improbable or a typically developing child using adaptive thinking to communicate with a nonverbal autistic child.

The problem with “balance” isn’t our regular schedule...if we had to follow our normal routine every day: your family always stays in line, no one gets sick or has any issues, work stays in line there aren’t any unexpected moments, meetings or customer needs - then you could find a “balance” But that’s not normal - no one lives that way… We are always going to be blindsided by the radical things that happen to us that completely hijack whatever our plans are. This week we sit down with Frank Bealer - the Executive Director of Leadership Development at Orange / The reThink Group and CEO of Phase Family Centers to talk about everything from his exciting new projects, the grand opening of the new 62,500+ square foot Phase Family Center in Alpharetta Georgia to how to PLAN FOR the expected unexpected realities of life...which in turn leads to stronger relationships with family. We go into what his book "The Myth of Balance" (get your copy HERE) and what exactly that means!!

We've never sat in the same room with anyone more inspirational than these two brothers - Brent Pease and Kyle Pease. Theirs is a story of PASSION, BROTHERHOOD and RELENTLESS DETERMINATION. Today's episode will make you laugh, cry and ultimately leave you inspired. Inspired to strive to be better no matter what challenges and obstacles you are faced with. Kyle Pease was diagnosed with cerebral palsy as a child - While his condition limited his ability to play sports, it didn't dampen Kyle's passion for them, nor did it stop the Pease family from including Kyle in various excursions. After witnessing Brent complete his first IRONMAN competition, Kyle asked Brent a life-changing question: Can people in wheelchairs do IRONMAN? Brent never hesitated with his response. The answer was a resounding YES. Now after competing at the IRONMAN TRIATHLON WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP in Kona, Hawaii they visit SPATIAL AWARENESS to share their story of their journey, what inspired them to create their foundation THE KYLE PEASE FOUNDATION and all of the ups and downs they've shared together.

You may think of a dusty town filled with tumble weeds and wanted posters flapping in the hot wind when you think of “Bounty Hunters”...or, if you’re like Woody you think of Boba Fett from Star Wars :) In the USA hundreds of criminal defendants fail to appear for their scheduled court date. But that’s where Alex and boyfriend/business partner Jon jump into the fray...tracking fugitives across America, including dangerous members of the Mexican cartel. In this episode of Spatial Awareness they sit down with Woody, Kurt and Corey and go in depth with all the ins and outs of a modern day lifestyle previously familiar only in movies and the A&E reality show: "Dog the Bounty Hunter". We talk about how in the world they got into the business, what it's like working with your significant other, crazy cases they've been on and what it's like to have knives pulled on them, shots fired at them and a guy attempting to run them over with a car.

Being outside is one of THE most therapeutic things we can do as humans. THIS WEEK we talk to Demario Pressley - former NFL star of the New Orleans Saints (a part of the Super Bowl XLIV-winning team) and his lovely wife Kristle Pressley about their amazing brand new business GEAUX BIKES (pronounced "GO BIKES") and how they have created a remarkably convenient and affordable way for people to be more active together as a family and community. We talk about Demario's humble beginnings, his thoughts on why he has an entrepreneurial drive, what it was like to be in the NFL, his advice to young athletes AND how they came up with the BIKE SHARE/BIKE RENTAL concept. We talk about how he and Kristle first met, why her cooking led to him having to workout twice as hard (spoiler alert: she's from NOLA and cook like a masterchef!) and how they ended up calling Forsyth County home. Together Kristle and Demario were some of the most charming people we've had on the show and we are so excited for you to learn more about them and their incredible new business.

When Kurt told me who we were going to interview for this episode I couldn't believe it. Especially when I started researching the insane accomplishments and things that our guest this week PAUL JENKINS has created. Imagine a super hero or comic book character right now...chances are he's worked on/written their stories. Here's a short list: Spider-Man, Batman, The Incredible Hulk, and the smash hit, Wolverine: Origin Oh, and if you're a child of the 80's like myself buckle up...you might fall out of your chair because his work also includes the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

“Often times we listen to people but we’re listening to be ready to answer…I’ve learned that I have to say ‘Tranquila Julie, tranquila…’ so that I can listen to them and learn from them. REALLY listening to people and learning from them is an incredible skill that is often underutilized. The more we talk, the more we listen, the more we are going to be able to make a difference for the better.” Julie Brennan, Editor in Chief of My Forsyth Magazine electrifies the studio with her personality and sits down with Spatial Awareness to share her story, her passion for connecting and learning from others. We talk about the importance of sitting down across the table from someone - have a coffee, tea or whatever and have a conversation, why we should never answer the “how are you” question with “I’m so busy” and where she thinks we ALL need to go to experience the beauty of Puerto Rico. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/spatial-awareness/support

“The people that you keep around you are going to determine - not your potential - but your motivation. Are you keeping people around you that are always pushing you or keeping you comfortable?
