Podcast 288 – Smart Branding and Apartment Density Transformed Chamblee Over the Last Decade – Van Pappas Chamblee has rebranded, reimagined, and revitalized itself. Van Pappas shares how smart city planning and a bold branding push turned an industrial corridor into one of North DeKalb's hottest areas. The key? Apartment density, a clear identity, and big community pride. Van was there from the start, on the branding committee that helped bring the iconic red Chamblee sign to Peachtree Boulevard. He explains how signage isn't just decoration, it is declaration. Van also dives into starting his Chamblee Area Restaurant Review Facebook Group during Covid, and growing it nearly as large as my Dunwoody version. What began as a way to support struggling restaurants became a digital town square, where locals post reviews and swap recommendations. The Chamblee Rail Trail is more than a sidewalk. Van breaks down how the trail is expanding to connect key parts of the city and tie into a larger regional network. With plans to link Chamblee to Doraville's Assembly development, Brookhaven's greenways, and eventually the BeltLine, the trail is redefining how locals experience the city, without ever getting in a car.

May 18, 2025Three thoughts on how to respond in seasons of hurt.
Weather Roof: A Story of Grit, Hustle, and Outlaw Entrepreneurship In the heart of Mississippi, two young entrepreneurs, Walker Pearson and Corbin Allen, have built Weather Roof, a roofing company that embodies the spirit of overcoming adversity and carving your own path. Founded in 2020 by Walker, Weather Roof is more than a business—it's a testament to resilience, organic growth, and the audacity to chase success against all odds. Walker, now 26, and Corbin, 27, are the definition of outlaw entrepreneurs. Their journey began with humble roots and hard lessons. Walker faced personal rock bottom in his early 20s, battling addiction and a toxic relationship that led to multiple stints in the Madison County Correctional Facility. It was there, during a 32-day stay, that he had his "aha" moment. Surrounded by career criminals, he realized he didn't belong in that world. An ankle monitor and court-ordered programs forced him to confront his choices, sparking a fire to rebuild his life. He started Weather Roof as a one-man operation, driven by a vision and a name that popped into his head one day. With no formal business plan, he leaned on sheer determination, knocking on doors to sell roofs—an approach many shy away from but one that became the cornerstone of Weather Roof's organic culture. Corbin's story is equally compelling. Growing up in Brookhaven, Mississippi, he faced a childhood marked by instability, with a mother struggling with drug addiction and a father in and out of prison. An 8th-grade dropout, Corbin found himself in trouble throughout his teens, culminating in a two-year prison sentence at 18. In Rankin County Jail, a fellow inmate's prophetic words gave him hope: “God can use a failure, but He can't use a quitter.” That moment ignited a transformation. Upon release, Corbin taught himself carpentry through YouTube, hustling to build porch swings and furniture to make ends meet. His work ethic landed him a job in air conditioning, where he shattered expectations, selling $3 million in systems in a single year, outpacing seasoned salespeople despite his lack of formal education. Together, Walker and Corbin have scaled Weather Roof into a powerhouse with nine branded trucks and a 20-person team. Their success stems from a relentless door-to-door approach, undeterred by rejection, guns pulled, or odd encounters—like the client who sealed a $28,000 deal with a spit-soaked handshake. They've turned “no” into fuel, building a brand that now attracts clients through referrals, Google, and social media. Yet, they remain grounded in their roots, fostering a culture of growth, fitness, and mutual support, inspired by like-minded peers like Michael Deere. Weather Roof's story is about creating your own luck. From Walker's childhood dream of a Lamborghini to Corbin's hustle to provide a better life for his four kids, they've embraced the pain of entrepreneurship—mental, physical, and emotional. Their mantra? Outwork everyone, surround yourself with truth-tellers, and never fear failure. As Walker puts it, “You gotta cook.” And cook they have, proving that with grit and audacity, even the toughest storms can lead to clear skies.

I twisted Chip Matthews arm into sitting in with me for 2 full hours this morning so I could have someone in-studio to bounce a bunch of different topics off of and I believe we created some radio gold this morning!! 1- I saw a "Let's talk Rankin County" Facebook group post about 2 women arguing because one of the cut in line in front of the other one in the Pearl Wal-Mart grocery p/u line. This spawned a conversation about how lazy we've gotten, we're literally fighting on the internet about someone cutting the other person off in line instead of getting out of our vehicles to fight in the line where the disrespect happened. 2- I got out and held signs and waived at Brandon citizens on behalf of Mayoral candidate Fred Shanks this weekend and was shocked at how nasty some of the current mayors supporters were to us, flipping us off and cussing at us to support their guy was interesting to say the least (keep in mind the majority of our group were women 40 & older so it just wreaked of disrespect) 3- The conversation about Brandon politics turned into a conversation about voter I.D. laws in Mississippi and I was blown away to find out Chip's claims about Mississippi voters being allowed to vote without an I.D. as long as they brought it back within 5 business days and then finding out that you can vote with an expired I.D. that's been expired for 10 years. 4. Over the weekend an illegal immigrant was arrested in Brookhaven, Mississippi for destroying a Tesla with a set of wire cutters at a Wal-Mart in what I consider an act of political terrorism. 5- Ridgeland, Ms. Police Chief Brian Meyers is upset with the changes in PERS to new hires, Chip and I discuss why we disagree with his point and take a dive into why PERS is bad for everyone else not in it.

In this episode of GynoCurious, Dr. Amy Novatt welcomes the multi-talented Isabella Rossellini to the show. The conversation kicks off with Isabella telling us about the inspiration behind the establishment of Mama Farm in 2013; her regenerative farm, Bed and Breakfast, and events venue in Brookhaven, N.Y. She speaks of her Italian heritage and how this informed her of the importance of locally grown foods, eating healthy and creating community around the earth and her bounty. On the farm she focuses on heritage breeds and heirloom seeds. As an Ethologist, she observes and continues to learn about animal behaviors raising her chickens, sheep, bees and other assorted animals on the farm. Amy and Isabella then pivot and explore the themes of reinvention and intuition, especially as they pertain to the roles of women in society. Isabella shares personal anecdotes about her own process of reinvention, from her early ambitions and careers as a model and actress to then directing films. After opportunities in these areas diminished in her fourth decade, Isabella went back to school to study Ethology, the study of animal behavior. And then in her 6th and 7th decades her work as an actress and model had a resurgence, establishing herself again as a woman of great talent and beauty. Both speakers discuss the importance of trusting one's intuition in various life situations, whether in personal health, professional endeavors, or navigating societal expectations. Isabella's story is not just about her achievements but is a testament to resilience and adaptability in the face of societal pressures and personal challenges. Questions of comments?

December 22, 2024Three gifts you can give to God this Christmas.
December 8, 2024Missions Pastor, Phil Turner teams up with Pastor Hal on how God calls each of us to spread the Gospel throughout the world.
December 1, 2024Pastor Hal concludes the study of Ephesians.
On my first date with my future wife, I picked her up in an Uber. I played it off as a romantic gesture, but the truth was that I didn't own a car. I'd given it up because I love public transportation. There's just something about it. You can clear your head, get work done, and actually see the city rather than focus on the traffic. Atlanta's version of the LA Metro is called MARTA. The Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority has 48 miles of rail track, 38 subway stops, and an abundance of bus routes. From Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport to Sandy Springs, Buckhead to Brookhaven, And Decatur to Doraville, MARTA is taking people where they want to go today and tomorrow. And it can't do that without today's guest. Donna E. DeJesús joined the team in 1993 and has over 30 years of advanced experience in transit call center and customer service management. She's now the Director of Customer Service, but I just call her the Queen of MARTA. Nowadays, I do own a car. I had to have somewhere to put my toddler's car seat.

BUSINESS: Can Making Money Online Be Any Easier Than This? In today's episode of Join Up Dots, we dive into a creative, low-effort side hustle idea shared by Sarah from Brookhaven. Sarah turned her everyday photos—think sunsets, coffee mugs, and desk setups—into a steady source of passive income by uploading them to stock photo platforms. She didn't need professional equipment, hours of editing, or fancy software; she simply used photos she already had on her phone. By leveraging platforms like Wirestock and Shutterstock, Sarah has created a hands-off income stream while repurposing her photos for print-on-demand sites like Redbubble. If you've ever wondered how to make extra cash with minimal effort, this episode is for you! Share your thoughts and side hustle stories using #JoinUpDots and #PassiveIncome.
