Join Kosta and his guest: Bobby Young, Franchisee at Jersey Mike's Subs Cookeville and Crossville. In this episode: Before you were Bobby Young the candidate, you were Bobby Young the Jersey Mike's guy. As we said in the introduction you're the owner of both Jersey Mike's Cookeville and Crossville, how did you come to own and operate these stores? The election is over, and we promised everyone we'd get back to business, and we are. Bobby, you ran for County Commission in District 7, and although you didn't win we want to thank you for your willingness to serve and start with the question every former candidate is being asked this week: do you plan to run again?

Of course, Jersey Mike's is the only option in our hearts and stomachs, but when you have this level of competition how do you make sure customers think of you first? Find out more about Jersey Mike's Cookeville: https://www.jerseymikes.com/4026/cookeville-tnFind out more about Jersey Mike's Crossville:https://www.jerseymikes.com/4076/crossville-tnBetter Together with Kosta Yepifantsev is a product of Morgan Franklin Media and recorded in Cookeville, TN.This episode of Better Together with Kosta Yepifantsev is made possible by our partners at Miss Sallie's Market.Find out more about Miss Sallie's Market:https://www.misssallies.com

Fiery Comments at Yesterday's County Commission Meeting

Previewing today's County Commission meeting

“You've got to do the work first and continue the work.” Return guest Angelique Mayberry-Peterson comes back to Detroit is Different, now serving as Wayne County Commissioner for District 5, opening up about stepping into the seat once held by the late Irma Clark-Coleman, who she lovingly calls “Mama Irma.” Angelique reflects on the humility of receiving a unanimous vote from the commission, the weight of not trying to “fill the shoes” of a woman who served community for 50 years, and the responsibility of honoring that legacy by doing homework, asking questions, and showing up. She shares how her time as Detroit Public School Board President, her UAW experience, and years of relationship-building across schools, labor, faith, and neighborhoods prepared her for this role. From Northwestern's community programs to King High School bus rides, from elders still organizing at 93 and 99 to students needing fertile ground to grow, this conversation is about Detroit's past speaking directly into its future. Angelique reminds us, “If you said you're going to do something, then do it. If you can't do it, then say it”—a lesson in honest leadership, community trust, and public service rooted in love.
