All Home Care Matters and our host, Lance A. Slatton (@lanceaslatton) were honored to welcome Andrew Karesa CEO and Founder of @bluebellvillage as guest to the show. About Andrew Karesa: Andrew Karesa is a member of the Muskeg Lake Cree Nation and a proud husband and father of two young sons. After witnessing how his family coped to support his grandmother with her Alzheimer's diagnosis, Andrew realized he needed to take action. This inspired the creation of blueBell Village, aimed at Restoring the Personhood and Independence of those living with dementia™. With blueBell, Andrew has seen lives transformed for both individuals living with dementia and their caregivers, and he is passionate about fostering a world where care is tailored to each individual's needs. Additionally, he is pursuing his doctorate at the University of Calgary, where his research explores Indigenous entrepreneurship in the health sector, with a particular focus on the role of data in new venture creation. Andrew also holds an MBA from the University of Alberta. Before founding blueBell Village, he worked as a practicing engineer in the energy sector. About blueBell Village: blueBell Village is a health innovation company rooted in Indigenous values, dedicated to transforming the dementia care experience for families and caregivers. Founded in Canada, blueBell Village focuses on bridging clinical best practices with cultural and community-based knowledge to improve quality of life for people living with dementia—particularly in underserved and Indigenous communities. Its flagship tool, blueBell Connect, is a digital support platform that helps care teams deliver personalized, culturally appropriate, and clinically grounded care. Unlike traditional caregiver tools, Connect doesn't just share information—it guides action. It enables caregivers to coordinate with one another, share updates in real time, and receive recommendations that are tailored to the specific needs, routines, and cultural contexts of the individual they support. With a focus on inclusion, personalization, and dignity, blueBell Village is building tools that meet people where they are—and helping communities take care of their own.
For many communities, there is a sense that as life gets busier some of the heart of the community can fade away; in Bluebell in south west Dublin, a new initiative is changing things and giving local people a safe place to go.Dr Tommy Coombes manages the Bluebell Community Development Project, and coordinates the regeneration programme.

For decades, drivers along Blue Bell Hill near Maidstone, Kent, have reported eerie encounters with a woman who appears by the roadside — only to vanish without a trace.

Ricky Dickson is the former President and CEO of Blue Bell Creameries, one of America's most beloved ice cream brands. After 43 years with the company, Ricky's leadership legacy is steeped in faith, humility, and an unwavering commitment to people and product integrity. From a young territory manager trying to conquer a new market to leading the company through one of its biggest crises, Ricky's story is a testament to servant leadership and doing business the right way—one scoop at a time. In this episode, Brad sits down with Ricky for a rich and honest conversation about faith, leadership, crisis, and of course… ice cream. Ricky reflects on his early days as a track runner and business student, shares the remarkable story of how a college paper led to a four-decade career at Blue Bell, and opens up about the company's darkest hour—when a pathogen was discovered in the product and Blue Bell had to shut down all operations. Through it all, Ricky's story is full of wisdom, warmth, and integrity. His commitment to people, product quality, and transparency has shaped not just a brand, but a culture. “Once you compromise on quality, what's to stop you from compromising again?” – Ricky Dickson “Go humble, but go confident—and know that you are influencing those around you, whether you realize it or not.” – Ricky Dickson “We are in the people business. Both on the producing side and the enjoying side.” – Ricky Dickson This Week on The Wow Factor: Ricky's upbringing in San Antonio, Texas, and the Christian foundation laid by his parents How a college paper on Blue Bell led to his first job—and ultimately a 43-year career The values that shaped Blue Bell's culture and why people stayed with the company for decades What makes ice cream “premium”—a behind-the-scenes look at overrun, butterfat, and flavor design Why Blue Bell refused to shrink its carton size or skimp on ingredients—even when costs surged A leadership masterclass in how to love people well, even when it's time for them to move on The 2015 pathogen crisis: how it started, how Blue Bell responded, and how God showed up in the storm Rebuilding trust with customers, employees, and regulators—and doing it without compromising values The surprising legal “letter” from a law firm begging for the return of a discontinued flavor Ricky Dickson's Word of Wisdom: Dream big. The day you stop dreaming is the day you start dying—and the day you find a God-given dream is the day you truly start living. Whether you're starting something new or leading a company, do it with humility, confidence, and gratitude. You're influencing people with how you live, not just what you say.

Few companies have inspired more fanatical devotion among Texans than the convenience chain Buc-ee's. Described by the New York Times as both a “Disneyland of roadside capitalism” and the “through line of America's second most sprawling state,” its iconic, buck-toothed beaver mascot has been spotted not just on billboards, but on wedding cakes and tattooed arms of its most loyal customers. Founded as a small-town gas station, today it boasts 47 locations across the South known for massive floor spaces brimming with souvenirs, fudge, BBQ stations, cases of jerky, and walls of branded snacks like “beaver nuggets.” Yet unlike other treasured Lone Star enterprises like Whataburger, Blue Bell, or the grocery chain H-E-B, Buc-ee's ascendance has been a fast, recent phenomenon. They are also far from the first convenience chain to endear themselves to travelers through reliably clean restrooms, kitschy gifts and road food. In fact, one could argue they stand on the shoulders of the Georgia-born Stuckey's, whose nutty treats sparked a mid-century rest stop empire. Today, both brands find themselves at a crossroads. Buc-ee's is rapidly expanding, while following years of corporate mismanagement and decline, Stuckey's is rebuilding itself one pecan log roll at a time. In this episode we'll ride shotgun with Gravy producer Evan Stern as he explores how food has shaped these companies' brand identities, how they're grappling with change, and what their stories reveal about the past, present, and future of snacking on the American road. Along the way, we'll step inside a Buc-ee's that sprawls over 65,000 square feet, get to know some devoted customers, and hear from journalist Eric Benson, who argues this chain has come to symbolize 21st-century Texas. We'll also meet Stephanie Stuckey, who, following a career in politics and environmental law, now serves as the chair of Stuckey's. She shares her grandfather's journey from pecan broker to gas station magnate, how she envisions Stuckey's evolving, and why the road trip remains ingrained in the company's DNA. The resulting piece is a profile of two brands that have shaped and continue to make American highways a “corridor of consumption.” Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In the shadows of her family home lurked something sinister, manifesting as a terrifying, human-sized centipede with a porcelain woman's face—a vision that still haunts her to this day. But Gwen also found comfort in the paranormal when the spirits of her beloved childhood pets, Bluebell and Whitebell, appeared in dreams and fleeting glimpses, showing her that animal spirits can linger with loving energy.Next, Nix from Chicago takes us through a lifetime filled with spectral encounters, shadow figures, and mysterious apparitions. From seeing her husband's ghostly double accompanied by a shadow figure, to a home so active with paranormal activity that furniture blocked doors and invisible entities interacted with her children. Now, she wonders if her emotional plea for her children's safety has bound her to these spirits forever, and if her mental health journey might influence future experiences.Join us as we unpack these chilling tales and explore the boundaries between fear, protection, and the unseen world. Are we creating these phenomena ourselves, or is there truly something else out there watching—and sometimes reaching out—from the dark?

What was the strange creature that has come to be known as Octoman? (The Ohio Octoman) *** Drivers were convinced they'd spotted the infamous Blue Bell Hill ghost on the A229 in February 2019. That was the last time the ghost was spotted – and some believe it wasn't really the ghost at all, but something else. (The Ghost of Blue Bell Hill) *** There are plenty of ghost stories in the Lake Placid area, but probably the most unique and mysterious is the story of the Lady in the Lake. So mysterious is this ghost that it has inspired many authors and filmmakers – but the true story is more creepy than any ghost story. (The Lady In Lake Placid) *** In the early days of those reaching the New World, superstitions and unusual beliefs about others, even your own neighbors, were commonplace. Most anyone could be accused of being a witch. And I do mean anyone. Be thankful you weren't one of the first settlers to live in America. (American Witches) *** Gigantic spiders are reported worldwide, yet we have yet to actually capture one to prove their existence or study them to see how they grow so large. Is it possible the giant spiders don't exist – or could it be a different creature we have yet to identify?

"I hope that through my work, people saw my life." With a legendary 14-year career on the track and on the roads, professional 1500m runner and miler Jenny Simpson decided earlier this year that she was ready to retire. After spending 2024 diving into the world of marathoning, Jenny announced that she would run the TCS New York City Marathon as her final professional race. Then, after crossing the finish line in 2:31:54 and settling onto the couch with a bowl of ice cream (Blue Bell mint chocolate chip), Jenny got an invitation — and an immediate jolt off that couch. Instead of heading into retirement, Jenny embarked on The Great World Race, running seven marathons on seven continents in seven days. Up next: Jenny and Jason (and their two dogs) are packing up the Winnebago and spending the next year on a 50-state Run USA tour. In this supersized, two-hour episode, Jenny talks about all of it, and shares her reflections on her legacy in the sports. FOLLOW JENNY & JASON'S RUN USA TOUR @JENNYANDJASONRUNUSA AND ON YOUTUBE.
