Nic cultivated a love of cooking at an early age cooking with his grandmother and mother. This passion was fueled even farther when Nic got his first job at the age of fourteen. Nic started out his culinary career working for a Mom and Pops burger stand in his home town. Dairy Mart has been a community fixture in the small farm town of Huntley since the 1960s and still is to this day. After a few years Nic’s desire to learn more drove him to another small family owned restaurant. Nic worked in a small Italian restaurant and pizzeria for a year before joining the military. Having access to all the different cooking equipment at the pizzeria to play with instilled a curiosity in Nic for the Art of Cooking. How one ingredient can be transformed so many ways simply by cooking with different tools and techniques. After his military service Nic continued to study cooking and Baking on his own while attending College, working construction and working in several restaurants. After College, Nic attended a masters program at the Italian Culinary Institute in Southern Italy. This gave Nic the opportunity to fully jump into his passion of learning about the Art of Cooking from several different Masters in their fields. From Bread baking to pastry making, from cheese making to salami making, even conserving and preserving all sorts of fruits and vegetables. As Nic traveled around Italy and Ireland studying how to cook he has come to understand that what we cook and why we cook is just as important as how to cook, but often over look. Here in the US we often turn to convince foods that are often not very good for us instead of taking our time to make something nice for ourselves. Through his travels and unique working experiences Nic has made it his Mission to inspire people to take some time out of their day and appreciate their meals. Food should not be an afterthought as we run around with our busy schedules. Good, nutritional, simple food is what Nic wishes to share with you and inspire you to cook.

In Cicada Summers, author Jordan Smith Graffis brings readers an emotional, heart-wrenching coming-of-age narrative that ultimately stands as an ode to motherhood. Adults can learn a lot from children—actually, they have a lot to relearn. The narrator, a mother in her sixties, is writing a compilation of her greatest achievements—and failures—for her son, Billy Rubin, who is himself about to become a parent. She wants Billy to be prepared for the changes this gift will bring, and she wants him to know how much he taught her, and in turn, how much his child will teach him. At the beginning of each chapter, Billy’s childhood adventures and antics are presented to the reader as illustrations of what’s truly important in life; she wants Billy to feel like he’s reading a children’s book about his youth. These lessons parents experience are actually repeats of ones thought to be previously mastered during childhood, like the importance of sharing, how to love unconditionally, and that the future is full of possibility. There is value in learning—re-learning—these important lessons, whether the knowledge contained therein is to be passed down to loved ones or not. Author Bio Jordan Smith Graffis earned her master’s degree from Columbia University and bachelor’s from Marshall University. She is a former journalist turned business owner. She currently lives in Summerville, South Carolina, and splits her time between owning/operating a consulting company and acting as referee during toddler fistfights.

In May of 2018 Jack moved to Summerville and officially opened the doors for business on May 1st of 2018. Jack gained interest in the local, independent agency side of the insurance industry by growing up watching his father own and operate his own law firm. Watching him make his small business a a professionally run and well respected firm, encouraged Jack to look for an industry where he could make a difference in the community while working for a family first business. He found that in the Kinghorn/TW Insurance family. By gaining the trust of his clients and putting there needs first, Jack hopes to develop an agency where he can gain the trust of local families and business owners to protect their assests correctly from all potential exposures. He is hopes to one day grow the TW brand to the same level of respect that Kinghorn has in Beaufort.

Alexandria moved to the Charleston area in 2016 from California to go to the College of Charleston. She is currently pursuing a double major of Computer Science and Computing in the Arts. She aspires to have a career as a video game programmer that combines her first passions of computers and technology. She is a graduate of a college in California with her Associates in Digital Media. Her second passion is health and nutrition that developed in her adult years while living in California. Her first introduction is when her mother came home with a product called Juice Plus. Juice Plus is a whole food nutrition supplement made entirely of fruits and vegetables. In the first four months she found she had more energy, her skin was clearer, & she wasn’t sick as often. Then many more benefits grew over time as she took Juice Plus and continued on her health journey. It took two years before she actually became aware of the business opportunities Juice Plus provides. Her direct sales business of selling cookware was no longer profitable. She knew she had to make a change and she wanted to help others start their own health journey and build a business. While the cookware she sold helped make cooking fruits and vegetables easy and effective, Juice Plus made it easy to add fruits and vegetables to one’s diet. Today she continues to share her passion of health and nutrition with others and hopes to help others start or grow their journey to healthier lives. She is also looking for a team to help her in this mission. She would like to help them change their lives, health & financial wellness. “Improving your health with one simple change” Facebook: @alexwizes awizes.juiceplus@yahoo.com 707-834-7141

Fleming Moore, a native of the Low Country of South Carolina, sings songs seeded in a heart of hope, despair and perseverance. His sound is an authentic Americana Fusion style with roots bearing resemblances to Bruce Springsteen and Bob Dylan. Having persevered through many trials and tribulations that nearly ended his life, he’s moved to share his story with the pubic. Early in life, Moore was exposed to the music of Dylan, The Animals and The Rolling Stones. From the age of three, he has been writing songs, beginning by emulating the melodies and lyrics from the records his older brothers would bring into his world. "Folk Songs For The Apocalypse", his first of a series of three EPs, is an ontology of his own life. It explores the futility of seeking joy through materialism, the inevitability of death and struggles with addiction, faith, forgiveness and reconciliation. These heartfelt songs challenge the listener to examine the purpose of their own lives. Fleming says, "Folk Songs is a story about the beginning of a journey that starts out with the ambitious pursuit of material success in Track 1, but ends up leaving you in the ghetto, lost and looking for a way out at the end of track 4." His 2nd EP, "On The Edge Of America", continues the journey that begins in "Folk Songs". Tracks 1 and 2 take the listener further down the road of despair and futility, but eventually reaches a glimmer of hope in tracks 3 and 4. Moore says, "'Folk Songs' was about the beginning of a journey, where wrong turns lead to despair and brokenness. 'On The Edge Of America' marks a turning point, along that journey." www.flemingmoore.com twitter: Fleming Moore FB: Fleming Moore Spotify iTunes this episode is sponsored by www.LiveOakRealEstate.net

Dr. Michael Alden has been practicing in Charleston, South Carolina since 1994. In 2010 he began to focus on Neuro-Metabolic Testing and Treatments, concentrating his interest on Autoimmune Conditions. Dr. Alden credits both Dr. Datis Kharrazian and Aristo Vojdani, PhD. for the training that he has accumulated both through conferences and one on one meetings. In July 2016, Dr. Alden co-founded Atlas Concussion Testing in order to develop a company that exclusively serves mTBI (concussions) in a new and innovative way. Through utilizing the basic principles of evaluating autoimmune reactions through a serological biomarker screening for autoreactive antibodies, and then modulating the immune system metabolically, Dr. Alden has been very successful with managing concussion victims. Beyond the obvious, concussion management, Dr. Alden has created an initiative to help eliminate Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE), called Predict, Prevent and Prevail over CTE. The research is clear, CTE arises from within the brain and immune system long before signs and symptoms appear. As he often states, “The Blood Doesn’t Lie”. www.AtlasConcussion.com FB - Dr Mike Alden drmikealden@atlasconcussion.com 843-367-6980 This episode is sponsored by www.LiveOakRealEstate.net

Working Hands Captivating. Insightful. Raw. These are a few words used to describe Joshua Jarman's songwriting and performances. With performances that each seem personal and unique, Joshua is known for engaging a crowd and gently ushering them through the pains and triumphs of human emotion... at least as he sees it. Treating the acoustic guitar like some forgotten limb, Joshua unveils percussive qualities of the instrument, plays the rhythm structure, and creates lead lines all at once. No loops. One take. His ability to do this while singing leads some to remark his music as surreal. Especially when seen live. Minor chords aided by the thumping heart of the acoustic guitar accompany Joshua's impacting vocals. A conviction that can heard and felt by the listener. Joshua regards this style of playing to the influence of artists like: Jon Gomm, Newton Faulkner, or Andy Mckee. He quotes his muse as 'The benefit of all beings,' and dedicates his work to the relief and understanding of human suffering. "There are reasons that my songs are sometimes sad. Depression has been no stranger to me, nor those around me. But, the Blues are medicinal in music because they are relatable. You never know what healing powers a song can have on the mind. Because music has done so much for me, for my mental health, I owe it to the world to sing these songs." Joshua is an Award Winning Charleston, SC local who has been featured on Fox News, ABC News, Balcony TV, 9 to 5 Magazine, Fix FM and even at local schools. His performances and hosted events numbered over 250 in 2017, helping him gather product endorsements from Shubb Capo Company and Nicola Brand Strings.

Amber Chandler Wife | ŸMother | ŸAuthor | ŸSpeaker Leading others to victory with practical and Biblical principles. Do you find yourself overwhelmed and insecure nearly everyday, apologizing for everything and feeling like you are doing everything wrong? Amber has been there; she lived there for most of her life. But now Amber is living victoriously because she sees herself differently; and refuses to back down from an attack of the enemy. As a practical Christian, Amber realized that we must deal with spiritual things on a daily level. We have the ability to stay victorious even if we don’t have hours to pray. One of her books, Why Did You Make Mosquitos?, is a Children’s Book that Amber wrote and co-illustrated with her daughter, Lily. It shows a realistic conversation between a child and God. The child asks God 10 questions and His answers are simple, but backed with scriptures. It deals with easy and hard questions, but mostly focuses on God’s love for us. The Worrier’s Wish List has been dubbed “The book to help you conquer the anxiety that plagues you everyday.” It takes you on a journey through finding who we battle, why we battle him. Learning what the root cause of anxiety is and how to defeat anxiety one day at a time by using God’s word as our sword. It speaks to individual worries that Amber faced throughout her life and how she became victorious. She shows the reader tools to use and how to speak God’s Word over their own life when anxiety starts to close in.

I was born in New Jersey, but moved to Massachusetts when I was eight. I came down to Charleston for college so mathematically I’m still a Yankee for four more years. After that I will have lived here longer than I have above the Mason-Dixon line. Surprisingly, my husband was born and raised in Massachusetts. We grew up ten minutes away from each other. We never met until we were down here. I began working at Berkeley High as a PE teacher, volleyball and basketball coach after college. Charlie is an English teacher. We met on my third day at the school and have been side by side since. With our northern blood and approach to life, I attempted a series called Tales of a Transplant, but nobody down here seemed to care for them. Such is life. I continue to write each day regardless of my schedule, or which hat I must throw on. I truly believe my calling from God is to be a writer. I have been asked by a college to speak at one of their chapel services in the 2019-2020 school year. Although I have never been much for public speaking, I feel honored and at peace. I know it is what I am meant to do. As for hobbies, I am quite active. I need to keep in shape as a personal trainer, but I desire to stay in shape for my love of fitness and the results. I read as often as time, and little ones, allow. I’ll read anything from government agents fighting the mysterious international villains to growing my business, to spiritual growth, to short stories, and I love young adult reads. I am a crafty person as well. I used to own a shop in Downtown Summerville called Downtown Crossing. Everything was handmade by myself, my mother, or my sister-in-law. Though the shop is closed, I still love making candles, jewelry, and even knitting. I have shocked quite a few people when I bust out the knitting needles to make a dish cloth. I believe in busy hands. I even work as an Usborne Books and More consultant. I am quite active in church life. I won’t go into details, but I do work the sound booth for our Sunday morning service. I enjoy being a part of the women’s Bible study group. My husband teaches the K-2nd class on Sunday mornings. We lead Financial Peace University classes. And most importantly we try our best to be godly leaders for all around us. My life is an open book, no pun intended. I’m busy constantly, but enjoying the moments that present themselves. jjsweeney.weebly.com FB: Jewel Sweeney Author jsweeneyauthor@gmail.com 843.697.1527 this episode is sponsored by www.LiveOakRealEstate.net

Working in acrylic on birch panels, I allow wood grain to remain exposed and strive to create natural, organic lines that ebb and flow with the natural patterns in the grain of the wood. This process of following the grain and learning what to paint and what to leave as negative space never ceases to amaze and entertain me as I work. Growing up going to South Carolina’s beaches every summer, sunrises have long been a favorite to catch, because dawn is a calm, unpopulated time, and the image of the sun popping up over the ocean to begin a brand new day has always thrilled me. The constancy of the sun and the ever-changing light & freedom the ocean offers heavily influence my work. I hope to remember, recapture, & reclaim a time when the world's beauty never ceased to fill me with wonder. email: austingracesmith@gmail.com phone: 843.364.5847 www.AustinGraceSmith.com IG: @AustinGraceSmith FB: Art by Austin Sponsored by Live Oak Real Estate - www.LiveOakRealEstate.net
