David & Kati Carthum / Co-Owners of Little Richard's Donuts David grew up in Westport, WA and has lived in Kitsap County for the last twelve years and Kati grew up in Bremerton, WA. Both attended Western Washington University for their undergraduate degrees and Central Washington University for their masters' degrees. Currently, David is retired and enjoying the good life, while Kati works for the Bremerton School District. Though they had never owned a business prior to Little Richard's, the opportunity to purchase the land, building, and business came up in the spring of 2021. In partnership with David's parents, they decided to take the plunge, both because of the business's long-time connection to the community and its prime location. David and Kati both worked in the store for the first few months to learn the business. The former owners were extremely helpful in training and providing resources for learning to run a bakery. Since October, they have had a manager on site to handle the day-to-day operations, and with David's parents they focus on the behind-the-scenes, including payroll, remodeling and repair, updating equipment, training staff,  ordering, social media, and community engagement. Since reopening under their management, Little Richard's has been awarded “Best of Grays Harbor” for best donut/dessert shop; expanded to seven-days-a-week operations; participated in community events such as Pirate Days, Halloween trick or treating on the docks, and the recent Wine Festival; and has continued to seek out avenues to become a contributing part of the Westport community. They are looking forward to celebrating the shop's 50th anniversary next year. David and Kati reside in Poulsbo, WA and have three kids who are in college. They both enjoy spending time with family and traveling. https://youtu.be/Umrp4OMKacQ Dan Weedin / First Underwriters Insurance Brokers (Host) Michelle Bomberger / Equinox Business Law Group (Co-Host) David & Kati Carthum / Little Richard's Donuts (Guests)

David Weaver / David Weaver Coaching, Owner of The Forgotten Art Project Hi! My name is David. I am a Husband, Dad, Coach and Adventurer. I have over 15 years experience coaching and training individuals, small groups and companies. For the first part of my professional career, I owned and ran a health & fitness studio for 8 years. I mentored under one of the best in the business (James Fitzgerald) where I received multiple high level certifications and training and had the opportunity to help many people improve their lives (such as reversing type 2 diabetes, not go on kidney dialysis, losing 100 lbs, eliminating chronic pain, and many more). I now help business owners and leaders create a life and business they love. I do this by teaching them how to drastically reduce stress, intentionally design their life to align with their highest values, identify the most important thing to move the business forward and create a fulfilling quality of life. As a result, my clients feel happy and healthy, make more money and create FREEDOM. I have spent my entire professional life seeking out the best to learn from so that I can bring tremendous value to you. Most recently I was mentored directly by Dr. Mike Smith - CEO of John Mattone Global (John Mattone was Steve Jobs' coach). I am also one of the founders and guides for Liberating Man. Myself and two partners lead a group dedicated to helping men create freedom and expansion in their lives. When I'm not coaching I love spending time with my family and adventuring in the Washington cascades. My favorite ways to adventure are climbing, trail running and splitboarding. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ryMKqZniM2M Dan Weedin / First Underwriters Insurance Brokers (Host) James Alberson / Top Tier Training & Development Inc (Co-Host) David Weaver / David Weaver Coaching, The Forgotten Art Project (Guest)
