From touring rapper to barbershop owner, Mike Shelton's journey exemplifies the unpredictable path of entrepreneurship and the power of following your calling. When life threw him a curveball at age 34, learning that new cars wouldn't even have CD players for his music, he found himself at a crossroads. A moment of clarity on Highway 485 in Charlotte pointed him toward barber school, despite having a wife, young son, and mortgage to support.What unfolds is a remarkable story of faith and determination. Mike shares how he went from being the only white student at the all-Black owned No Grease Barber School to opening Uptown Barber Lounge in Bentonville. Starting in the back of a house and eventually growing to an 11-chair operation, his business philosophy challenges conventional thinking about competition."There's more people to cut than we can handle," Mike explains, rejecting the scarcity mindset that often pits similar businesses against each other. Instead, he embraces collaboration and community-building, recognizing that when an industry thrives, everyone within it benefits. This refreshing perspective resonates throughout the conversation as he describes the barbershop as much more than a place for haircuts. It's a sanctuary where authentic connections happen.The emotional depth of Mike's experience shines through as he recounts praying with clients, crying with grown men, and building relationships across social divides. "A barbershop will give you the pulse of what a community is like," he observes, highlighting how these spaces create neutral ground where CEOs and hourly workers become equals for 40 minutes in the chair.Whether you're contemplating a career change, running a small business, or simply appreciate authentic storytelling, Mike's journey offers wisdom about following your passion and serving others along the way. His story reminds us that sometimes the most fulfilling path emerges when you're willing to listen to that surprising inner voice telling you to try something completely new.Visit Uptown Barber Lounge at 502 Southwest 12th Street in Bentonville or check out uptownbarberlounge.com to experience this unique community hub for yourself.

Have you ever wondered what happens when podcast hosts become the subject of their own show? In this special episode of The B-Team Podcast, the tables are turned as local businessman Jim Corbett arrives claiming to be the president, CEO, and founder of the hosts' fan club—complete with questions supposedly collected from listeners.What unfolds is a hilarious journey into the personalities behind the microphones. Josh, Matt, and Rob find themselves answering rapid-fire personal questions while sipping bourbon from an elk-shaped bottle. From celebrity doppelgangers (apparently Matt resembles Mark Wahlberg—a claim that draws immediate skepticism) to revelations about which host has a black belt in Taekwondo, the conversation peels back the layers on these Bentonville personalities.The episode transforms into a game show of sorts, with Jim awarding points for correct answers about the podcast's history. We've discovered that we've created almost 70 episodes, totaling over 49 hours of content, with our interview with Jenny Marrs standing as our longest episode to date. Perhaps most telling is the revelation that of the three hosts' wives, only Emily regularly listens to the podcast—primarily because she helps with editing—while Angie and Karey have barely tuned in at all.The genuine friendship between these three shines throughout, particularly when they unanimously agree that "Trailhead Tony" was their most surprisingly successful episode. What started as a podcast focused on Bentonville businesses and bourbon tastings has clearly evolved into something more—a platform showcasing authentic connections and unfiltered conversation.Ready for a bourbon-fueled peek behind the podcast curtain? This episode offers exactly that. Subscribe now and join the fan club that Jim is apparently presiding over—you'll be in good company.

As tariffs and global economic uncertainty weigh on businesses, Walmart EVP Dan Bartlett joins Mo News from the company's shareholders meeting in Bentonville to break down how the retail giant is navigating tariff and economic uncertainty. Bartlett explains how Walmart is approaching increasing prices, how it's absorbing costs as President Trump tells them to “eat the tariffs,” and believes it will still “win on price.”  Bartlett dives into how the world's largest private employer and America's largest grocer is looking at the future. He discusses how AI and automation could lead to a revolution in how we do our purchasing—enabling re-ordering, restocking of the literal shelves in our homes and guiding our shopping lists with little to no effort from consumers anymore.  Plus, Bartlett reflects on his time as former President George W. Bush's former counselor and communications director and the lessons he learned about leadership and crisis.  —- Mosheh Oinounou (⁠@mosheh⁠) is an Emmy and Murrow award-winning journalist.

What does it take to build a successful craft brewery in the heart of Northwest Arkansas? Jeff, owner and founder of Bike Rack Brewing Co., pulls back the curtain on his decade-long journey from homebrewing hobbyist to established business owner in this candid conversation.Since opening in October 2014 as one of Bentonville's first craft breweries, Bike Rack has witnessed—and contributed to—the region's explosive growth and transformation. Jeff shares how the brewery's name, which initially confused locals in 2013, became perfectly aligned with Bentonville's evolution into a mountain biking destination. His timing proved equally fortunate with their 8th Street Market location, which now sits adjacent to Walmart's new campus development.Throughout our conversation, we sample three distinct Bike Rack beers: a refreshing Blueberry Lemonade Lager (created in collaboration with Dave and Jenny Mars's blueberry farm), a hazy East Coast IPA named "Dinos and Unicorns" after the head brewer's children's interests, and their crisp American Lager. Each beer tells a story about the brewery's approach to crafting approachable, high-quality brews that appeal to both enthusiasts and newcomers alike.The discussion takes unexpected turns as Jeff reveals the challenges of navigating the COVID-19 pandemic (which instantly eliminated 75% of their taproom-based revenue), the surprising shift in customer demographics (now primarily tourists rather than locals), and the realities of running a capital-intensive business in an increasingly competitive market. His honest assessment of entrepreneurship—"You don't get in this to get rich; you get in to give to a community and have fun"—resonates throughout.Whether you're a craft beer enthusiast, an aspiring entrepreneur, or simply curious about Bentonville's remarkable evolution, this episode offers refreshing insights into how passion, community focus, and adaptability can build something special.

La Hacienda, named after the restaurant in Houston where he learned the trade, and San Miguel, of course the resort town near his hometown (and there might be something new on the way).

The buzz around Bentonville's biking scene continues to grow, and at its center stands Bentonville Bicycle Company, poised for an exciting expansion onto the Walmart campus. Jesse, the company's co-owner, shares the remarkable journey from a modest container structure near 21C Hotel to becoming the region's premier cycling destination for two consecutive years.What started as a rental operation has blossomed into a full-service bike shop with strategic brand selection and a clear vision. Jesse's approach differs from typical bike shops – carrying just one quality brand at each price point creates clarity for customers while fostering stronger relationships with manufacturers like Pivot, who reward this focus with custom builds and special attention.The new 2,500-square-foot campus location will feature a mezzanine design, offering two floors of cycling paradise strategically positioned on J Street facing the park. While their existing location will continue catering to mountain biking enthusiasts, this expansion embraces city riding with cargo bikes, e-bikes, and extended service capabilities.Jesse's passion for e-bikes illuminates how cycling is evolving – once skeptical riding buddies now exclusively use electric assistance, finding it enhances the experience while still providing excellent exercise. These bikes have opened cycling to those recovering from injuries or seeking to ride with fitter companions without struggling.Perhaps most fascinating is how Bentonville Bicycle Company will integrate with Walmart's emerging cycling culture. With dedicated bike captains organizing commuter groups from various neighborhoods and a goal of having 10% of associates biking to work, the campus is becoming a cycling hub. Jesse's shop complements Walmart's employee bike program perfectly – associates can try different bikes through Walmart's program, then purchase their own through Bentonville Bicycle Company.Whether you're a mountain biking enthusiast, a curious beginner, or someone looking to transform your daily commute, stop by their Walton and Central location or visit the new campus shop when it opens. Experience firsthand why cyclists worldwide recognize Bentonville as a premier biking destination!

Alexey Vermeulen has a lot of thoughts on how US gravel can improve. A 100-mile Unbound. A U23 field. Fewer elite riders in the Grand Prix—the list goes on. Since leaving the WorldTour to join the American off-road scene, Alexey has become one of the most prominent racers in the sport, finishing second overall in the first two years of the Grand Prix and being a leading voice among his peers through a host of media projects. This year, he's started a post-race debrief podcast with Keegan Swenson called The Cooldown.Alexey caught up with Payson in Bentonville after placing second at Rule of Three for a wide-ranging conversation.

It's not a chance most of us get — but that was exactly the task given to our guest on this episode, Sharmila Makhija, MD, MBA.

It was April 21, 2006, and 21-year-old college student Nina Ingram was coming home after a long day. Nina had a very busy life. She was two years into her business degree at Northwest Arkansas Community college in Bentonville, Arkansas and also worked full time at Walmart, part of the loss prevention team, basically a security officer. That night, Nina had worked her shift, ate dinner at her boyfriend's apartment, and then drove back to her apartment complex a little after 10 pm. Nothing seemed to be out of the ordinary. But the next day, no one heard from Nina. At around 2 pm her other brother, Noah, and his partner, Chad, drove over to Nina’s apartment to check on her. They knocked on the door, but Nina didn’t answer. So her brother climbed through an open window into the kitchen. Chad waited outside while Noah unlocked the door and the deadbolt, which were both locked. Seconds later, he heard Noah scream. Chad went in through the now unlocked front door and raced into Nina’s bedroom in the back of the apartment; he and Noah saw her lying face up on the bed with what Chad described as very visible red scratches and bruises around her neck. Chad told police that he knew immediately that she was dead. Was Nina Ingram murdered by a serial killer, was this a random attack, or was it someone she knew?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
