How many of you have dreamed of walking away from your daily job and starting your own business? Meet Laura Watkins, a woman who did just that. Upon earning her bachelor's degree in Marketing and a Master of Business Administration at the University of Louisville, she entered the corporate workforce. However, her true goal had always been to open her own business. When a co-worker asked her, "If you could do absolutely anything, what would it be?" the answer seemed to fall out of Laura's mouth: "I would quit my job, go to hair school and open an Aveda salon." And within a year, that's exactly what she did. At age 30 Laura resigned her corporate job and began the journey to get her cosmetology license. Fast forward to 2021 and Laura's salon, Pure Salon Spa, an Aveda salon and spa on Bardstown Road in Fern Creek, which will celebrate its 13th year in business and has been ranked among the top 200 salons in North America by Salon Today Magazine for the past 10 years. Married for 18 years with two daughters, her other passions include empowering women, garnering more respect for careers in the beauty industry, and very importantly for Laura from a personal standpoint, ending the stigma associated with mental illness. Her passion around ending the mental illness stigma comes from her own struggles with severe depression, with which she was first diagnosed in 2015 and continues to seek treatment to stay mentally well to this day. Laura had many misconceptions about mental illness until it happened to her, and she firmly believes there is still a long way to go with ending those preconceived notions, which means talking more and more about it to raise awareness. One in four people struggle with mental illness in her/his lifetime and that means there are a LOT of people out there struggling alone. Laura wants to change that! I recently had the opportunity to discuss all of her passions on this week's Not So Darlin podcast.

We talk about Louisville's NuLu neighborhood this week following the death of commercial real estate developer Tim Peters. Peters, who died at his home earlier this month, left a long legacy in Louisville renovating and rehabbing buildings in NuLu and on Bardstown Road. He was one of the people who originally bought into to the vision for NuLu.We chat about how it developed and our own early experiences visiting the neighborhood over the years.As usual we don't just discuss one topic on this week's show. At the top of the show, we discuss a new advertising campaign from KFC involving actor Mario Lopez. We also discuss the latest trends in Kentucky's battle against Covid-19.

On this week’s Truth To Power, we gather around the microphones to collectively envision a sustainable, just transportation system for Louisville! Forward Radio programmers, Justin Mog (Sustainability Now!), Hart Hagan (The Climate Report & Let’s Talk), and Ruth Newman (Election Connection) are joined in the virtual studio by Jackie Green, owner of Bike Courier Bike Shop, and local transportation advocate, Jackie Cobb. We not only discuss a new vision for a way forward, but chew on two big pieces of news this week: BUDGET NEWS: The Mayor has just submitted a proposed capital budget to Metro Council for 2020-21 that did NOT include funding ($60,000) to conduct a detailed traffic analysis of removing the Bardstown Road peak hours lane lights, a top recommendation for implementation of the Bardstown Road Safety Study. But the budget DOES include $2.5 million for intelligent traffic signal synchronization along the Bardstown Road corridor (from Broadway to the Gene Snyder) to support congestion mitigation and future bus rapid transit. It also includes funding for conversion of at least eight one-way streets in downtown Louisville to two-way traffic flow, and construction of 10 more miles of the Louisville Loop. TARC NEWS: https://www.ridetarc.org/tarc-seeking-public-comment-on-proposed-route-changes/ On April 29th, TARC announced plans to dramatically realign its system map, ultimately eliminating 22 of 47 current routes (47%) and decreasing the frequency of its Dixie Rapid BRT route 10. Proposed changes include discontinuing all express routes and circulators (except the route 20 Riverport Circulator) and local routes 62 (Breckenridge Shepherdsville), 82 (New Albany - Jeffersonville) and 22 (Twenty-Second Street). Eventually, we may expect the frequency and service level of remaining routes to increase as a result but the details are unclear at this point. TARC is reviewing the changes through an equity lens but 97% of riders use barely half of the current routes (which was true before coronavirus) and TARC’s cost per rider nears $60 in some parts of our community (versus $2.50 elsewhere), which threatens the enterprise. Detailed information concerning the changes is posted on TARC’s website, and public comments may be submitted to: PublicComment@ridetarc.org Public hearings will take place online May 13th at 5:30pm and May 18th at 12:00pm, via Zoom, as well. TARC is seeking the public’s input on three phases of potential service adjustments. The first, Phase A, would start on Aug. 9, 2020, and the others would be phased in as needed to achieve a sustainable financial standing. Phase A: Proposed changes include discontinuing the LouLift circulators (routes 01 & 77), local route 62, circulator 96, and all express routes (except 61X, 67X, & 78X). Phase B: Proposed changes include discontinuing local route 82, remaining express routes (exceptions from Phase A), circulators 52 and 75, and local route 22. Phase C: Proposed changes include temporary frequency adjustments to the Dixie Rapid BRT (route 10). However, BRT service frequency will remain at 15 minutes weekdays, from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. On Truth to Power, we gather Forward Radio programmers and friends to discuss the state of the world, the nation, the state, and the city! It's a community conversation like you won't hear anywhere else! Truth to Power airs every Sunday at 4pm, Monday at 2pm, and Tuesday at 9am on Louisville's grassroots, community radio station, Forward Radio 106.5fm WFMP and live streams at http://forwardradio.org

Dan Bryan has always been interested in sound. When he walks down Bardstown Road, he hears a voice calling out as if from the ether, with a clear message: it’s safe to cross. Less clear is who’s doing the talking on Louisville’s Accessible Pedestrian Signals. To hear the full recording, explore the sound map, or submit a sound visit www.wfpl.org/sounds or www.kentuckianasounds.org.

Musician and former railroad engineer John Paul Wright lives where Bardstown Road and Baxter Avenue meet. That’s where he captured the eerie, once-a-month coincidence of the noon bells of St. Brigid’s Catholic Church tolling at the same time as the monthly test of the Jefferson County civil defense siren system. Both sounds are significant for Wright, and tied to meaningful memories. To hear the full recording, explore the sound map, or submit a sound visit www.wfpl.org/sounds or www.kentuckianasounds.org.

Zach Barnes, Owner of Great Flood Brewing Co, comes on the show and shares the story of Great Flood's rise from idea to a brewery to canning and distribution. Ever wanted to learn how a couple young guys could start a successful brewery? This is the story of how Great Flood Brewing Co got started. Great Flood Brewing Co:  Zach tells us how brewers decide which beers should go into cans, and gives us a teaser for future Great Flood beers. We learn the guys' biggest hurdle to actually opening a brewery. While some people might think of opening a brewery as a fun hobby, these guys took a look at the market beforehand and made sure there was a need for their product before starting the business. They made sure success was not an accident. The original plan was for Zach to be a silent partner but immediately had to come on board full-time after Great Flood ran out of beer opening weekend. To differentiate their business, they decided to open a tap room and avoided the high overhead and hassle of running a full-service kitchen. How did they come up with the name Great Flood? What were the first two years like? How did the guys recover from a decline in sales after the huge opening weekend? Zach explains how they have kept to their original business plan and used it to help them make their decisions. He also discusses the differences between reality and the expectations of the original business plan. He also tells us the unglamorous side of operating a brewery and tap room, and the strain starting a business puts on relationships. How does Great Flood differentiate the tap room and their cans from their competitors? One of the coolest ways was creating an exclusive club for early supporters (and continuing to give them shoutouts on cans). We learn the difficulties transitioning from homebrewer to owning a brewery, and also find out other brewers helped Great Flood with the transition. We also learn the best parts of opening and running the brewery. Zach shares his advice to somebody thinking of opening a brewery. Last call questions and answers: Best career advice: "You can't spend your way into making money." What advice would your 60-year-old self give you today? Spend more time with your friends and family. Best thing spent money on the past 6 months: His new puppy, a Bernese Mountain Dog What media do you recommend: Anything by Wendell Berry, but specifically Hannah Coulter and What People are For? Favorite thing to drink (besides Great Flood): Tequila Special shoutouts and show notes: Against the Grain The New Albanian Brewing Company Bluegrass Brewing Company Apocalypse Brew Works Be sure to learn more about Zach and Great Flood by visiting their website at greatfloodbrewing.com. Also, follow them on social media @GreatFloodBeer and be sure to stop by their tap room at 2120 Bardstown Road, Louisville, KY 40205. Enjoyed this episode?

Elizabeth Kitzito sees her cookie business as a way to provide for her family here and in Uganda. Born in Uganda during the 1950s, Kizito moved to America in 1975 to attend school. Unfortunately, civil unrest and war in Uganda prevented her from returning. She moved to Louisville in 1978 and began making and selling cookies – originally as a way to pay for her son’s birthday present. She started selling cookies downtown and within a few years, in 1989, she traded her cart for her own bakery on Bardstown Road. Kizito’s heritage plays a large part in her life and business as she sells cookies from a basket atop her head, while dressed in traditional African attire. She can regularly be seen at local concerts, sporting events and festivals in Louisville selling cookies, brownies and biscotti. Her products are also sold at many restaurants and stores throughout the area. Today, many locals affectionately refer to her as the “Cookie Lady.” Each year Kizito travels to Uganda to provide financial assistance to her relatives. In 2003, she was named Woman Business Owner of the Year by the Louisville chapter of NAWBO. Kizito has two sons, and resides in Louisville.

Living with a core of gratitude and an attitude of caring and sharing, Bernard Trager founded and built Republic Bank, always with a heart to serve. In 1958, Trager co-founded and became CEO of Union Trust. Almost 20 years later, Union Trust and its seven subsidiaries became part of Commercial Credit of Baltimore, where Trager worked as president and CEO. In 1980, he founded Republic Bank and Trust Company on Bardstown Road in Louisville. The bank expanded and thrived, and today Republic Bank & Trust Company and Republic Bank have well over 40 banking centers in Kentucky, Indiana, Florida and Ohio. Trager is the recipient of endless impressive awards and achievements, and has served as director for multiple community organizations. He is also a generous donor for many community causes throughout Louisville. Aside from his time in the Air Force, Louisville has always been home for Trager. He and his wife of fifty-five years, Jean, have five grandchildren. In memoriam: http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/louisville/obituary.aspx?pid=155832233
