Podcast 331 - Dunwoody's Insider Summer Guide, From the 50th Parade to the World Cup - Mark Galvin After watching the U.S. beat Paraguay in the 2026 FIFA World Cup — one of the most historic wins in U.S. soccer history — the energy around Dunwoody this summer is electric. Mark Galvin of Discover Dunwoody came on the podcast already pumped about the World Cup, and it's easy to see why: local restaurants are setting up watch parties all over town and the whole community is fired up. High Street is expanding fast, Perimeter Mall is getting its biggest overhaul in years, and a brand new tearoom at Park Place just opened that Mark says rivals anything in Atlanta. Dunwoody is quietly leveling up, and this conversation is the fastest way to catch up. If you're looking for something fun to do with your kids, I got early access to Thrillz in Doraville, an indoor adventure park near Assembly Atlanta with trampolines, zip lines, and 35-foot slides. We also grabbed tickets to Big League Wiffle Ball at Assembly, backed by Gary Vee, Kevin Costner, Tony Robbins, TI, and Julio Jones. It might be the most fun $7 you'll spend this summer. All of that plus the 50th Dunwoody 4th of July Parade, where Discover Dunwoody is bringing the trolley and handing out red, white, and blue soccer balls. Fifty years.

Podcast 330 - Dunwoody Tavern is Bringing Back their Dunwoody Beer Fest as Tunes and Taps - Huw Thomas & Miguel Romero Huw Thomas has been running pubs in Dunwoody longer than most of us have lived here, and Miguel Romero of Taqueria Los Hermanos has become one of the most beloved anchors at the Shops of Dunwoody. Together, they're bringing back a Dunwoody tradition that drew thousands of people a year over more than a decade. And it's happening May 30. Huw's story is one of my favorites. He moved here just before the 1996 Olympics, looked around at a neighborhood with nowhere to grab a beer and a burger, and decided to fix that. That became Dunwoody Tavern. Thirty years later, Dunwoody Restaurant Group has five active locations across metro Atlanta, and Huw has had buildings named after his company at Camp Twin Lakes because of a 30-year fundraising partnership with the charity. Tunes & Taps is the new version of the Dunwoody Beer Fest, and it's going down May 30 from 4 to 10pm at the Shops of Dunwoody. Your $20 gets you in the door, live music from Mike Veal Band and the Basement Band, great food, and a raffle for $3,000 in DRG gift cards. Every dollar from ticket sales goes directly to Camp Twin Lakes, and 20% of Dunwoody Tavern's sales that day go to the charity too.

Emma Dunwoody - master coach, human design expert, and author of Human Design Made Simple - joins Dr. Will Cole for a wide-ranging conversation on the energetic blueprint beneath our personality, how we're designed to make decisions, and why trying to live someone else's design is one of the most common sources of exhaustion and disconnection. They cover the five human design types, the gene keys framework, the neutrino science behind the system, what the undefined spleen center means for health and burnout, and how Emma healed her own depression and panic disorder using these tools. Plus the Camino de Santiago, Ibiza's spiritual history, Dr. Hawkins' Power vs. Force, and what a Brazilian man around a campfire taught Emma about just showing up.

Should Christians care about privacy? The surveillance state does not need your worship; it just needs your fear. In this episode, Craig talks with Jon Padfield of Business Reform about Flock cameras, license plate readers, data brokers, and why Christians should question any system that treats neighbors like suspects and calls it safety. Jon brings experience as an engineer, former Indiana state representative, professor, and Christian privacy advocate. Together, he and Craig unpack the old line, “If you have nothing to hide, why worry?” and ask the better question: who gave Caesar the right to decide what counts as wrong? This is not just about cameras on poles. It is about fear, consent, courage, and the way surveillance trains people to obey before anyone even gives an order. Can Christians simply shrug and say, “I have nothing to hide”? Jesus did not call us to outsource our courage to Caesar or trade neighbor-love for state-managed safety. They dig into: Why the “nothing to hide” argument fails How Flock cameras expand beyond stolen-car searches Data brokers, insurance companies, and digital profiling Public records, local pushback, and privacy laws Christian resistance in a watched world

Podcast 329 - Dine Around Dunwoody Brings Food and Music to New Spots Across the City - Tim Brown Food Truck Thursdays is getting a refresh, and DHA President Tim Brown joined me to break it all down. After 15 years as a Dunwoody staple, the Dunwoody Homeowners Association decided it was time to shake things up, and what they came up with is worth getting excited about. Dine Around Dunwoody is the new series: five events from May through October, each one at a different location around the city. Think family-friendly food trucks, live music or DJs, and yes, the Chick-fil-A cow. Instead of everyone coming to Brook Run every time, the DHA is bringing the party to Spruill Center's hidden courtyard, the amphitheater at High Street, and spots a lot of Dunwoody residents have honestly never visited. And Moondog Growlers is back as the adult beverage partner, which Tim says was the most-requested community return of the year. This episode is also a great window into how much the DHA has evolved lately. New logo, new website, a growing social media presence, and a slogan that says it all: "Neighbors Connecting Neighbors." Tim gives a lot of credit to the team around him, and it shows. The kickoff is May 21 at Brook Run Park from 5:30 to 9 PM. Full episode summary lives here: whatsupdunwoody.com/podcast-329

Podcast 328 - How Discover Dunwoody Is Selling the City to the World - Mark Galvin Mark Galvin from Discover Dunwoody sat down with me this week, and we got into some fun conversation. With World Cup coming to Atlanta and Dunwoody sitting on its strongest lineup of restaurants, events, and hotels in years, Mark makes the case that his organization has never had a bigger opportunity in front of them. A lot of Dunwoody locals have a general sense of what Discover Dunwoody does, but the reality is bigger than most people realize. Mark's team has been running TV commercials in Mexico, Argentina, and Spain through Gray Digital Media and Telemundo stations, advertising Dunwoody to international soccer fans in their native Spanish. The strategy is straightforward: Dunwoody does not need to compete with downtown Atlanta. It just needs to be found. Their tagline captures it perfectly. "Above Atlanta and Beyond Expectations." We also talked about the real restaurant numbers (50+ new openings in four years, and yes, Mark gently corrected a stat I have been misquoting on this show), Stäge Kitchen and Bar now open at Campus 244, the brand new Le Faucheur Tearoom at Park Place, The Daily Pilates at Ashford Lane, the Dunwoody Arts Festival on Mother's Day weekend, World Cup soccer balls at the 4th of July Parade, and Create Dunwoody's DoorWoody art installations going up in the Village. Mark knows this city as well as anyone. Full episode at whatsupdunwoody.com/podcast-328.

Podcast 327 - How to Get Involved in Dunwoody's Nonprofits - Catherine Lautenbacher & Beth Lehman Catherine Lautenbacher and Beth Lehman are back on the podcast with something new to Dunwoody. A volunteer fair. On Friday, May 1st, the First Annual Perimeter Community Volunteer Fair is happening at Dunwoody United Methodist Church from 10am to 1pm, and if you've been meaning to get more involved in your community, this is your entry point. Here's something that might surprise you. Catherine did a quick count and Dunwoody alone has at least 34 nonprofits, and every single one of them is looking for help. The problem has never been a shortage of opportunities. It's been knowing where to find them. Beth organized this fair as her Leadership Perimeter class project specifically for people who want to give back but haven't figured out where they fit yet. The fair brings 12 to 15 local organizations under one roof, from well-known names like the Community Assistance Center to Sandy Springs Youth Sports. You can walk in not knowing what you want to do and walk out with a real commitment. Head to igottavolunteer.com to see who's coming, and show up to see how you can help.   Full episode summary lives here: whatsupdunwoody.com/podcast-327

Step into the minds of sommeliers and wine professionals to discover what really happens when they sit down to identify wines in a blind tasting. In Episode 175, recorded live at Vino Venue, we bring together a panel of seasoned blind tasters who are veterans of Atlanta's annual “Somm Smackdown” blind tasting competition. This conversation unpacks the art, intuition, and discipline behind identifying an unknown wine with nothing but your senses. What started as a question from someone who attended the competition as a spectator in the past – “how do you even train your palate to do this?” - evolves into an energetic, deeply insightful conversation filled with real-world strategies, personal stories, and the occasional myth-busting moment. As bonus dialogue and to provide full context for this discussion, we kick things off with Sommelier Ryan Mullins, the first-ever Somm Smackdown Champion, who shares the history and evolution of this competition along with some of his own philosophies for why he continues the pursuit of refining these skills. Whether you're a curious beginner or a seasoned industry professional, this episode pulls back the curtain on one of wine's most fascinating and humbling challenges. You can visit www.vinovenue.com for a list of all the past Somm Smackdown Champions as well as to discover information about their retail shop and full calendar of upcoming events.

Podcast 326 - Why World-Class Chefs Keep Showing Up to Cook in Dunwoody - Billy Kramer The Burger Benefit is back for one final year, with chefs like George Motz, Vinnie Cimino, Kevin Rathbun, and Freddy Money cooking one-day-only burgers at NFA Dunwoody on May 3rd. Every ticket dollar goes directly to the Giving Kitchen, and tickets just went on sale today. We also got deep into the Dunwoody restaurant scene. Forty-one restaurants opened here last year, and Billy made a strong case for why Dunwoody is a unicorn compared to every other market he looked at for expansion. We talked about what the Giving Kitchen actually does for food service workers in crisis, and why Billy is now permanently donating a quarter from every NFA burger sold. If you have never been to the Burger Benefit, this is the one to go to. It is the last one ever, the lineup is the best it has ever been, and the cause could not be more worthy.

Podcast 325 – How to Spot and Stop the Scams Hitting Dunwoody Right Now – Dale Cardwell   People in our community are losing thousands to fake job offers, government grant schemes, and AI voices impersonating family members. Most don't see it coming until it's too late.   Dale Cardwell has spent his whole life protecting people across the Top End of Atlanta. He's lived in this community for 25 years, and after three decades as an investigative journalist exposing fraud and corruption, he built TrustDale and launched his podcast, Trust Issues, specifically to help people avoid getting scammed. He's genuinely invested in making sure his neighbors don't get taken advantage of.   But Dale's story goes deeper. He broke some of Atlanta's biggest investigations — the Derwin Brown assassination, Linda Schrenko's embezzlement scheme, the corruption that forced Jacquelyn Barrett out as Fulton County Sheriff. For 25 years in Dunwoody, he's been the guy who digs into what's really going on.   Full episode summary lives here: whatsupdunwoody.com/podcast-325

In this episode (Ep. 147), Sarah walks us through the full arc of JJ's Flower Truck and Shop: from a curtained kiosk at Ponce City Market to a 1,500-square-foot Dunwoody dream shop, and from a one-woman operation to a full, talented team.

Mark Galvin from Discover Dunwoody connects the dots on what's changing around the Perimeter area, and why it all matters for locals. The High Street project is bigger than most people realize, stretching farther than expected and shaping up to rival Avalon with a strong focus on restaurants, retail, and walkability. Add in names like Varuni Napoli, Krua Thai, and Patrones, and you can feel the food scene leveling up fast. Even spots near the office corridors are coming back to life. Over at Perimeter Mall, a major food court relocation and new retail like Aritzia signal long-term confidence.

Podcast 323 – What Dunwoody Parents Need to Know Before the March 26 DHS Meeting – Andrew Ziffer Thursday, March 26th at Dunwoody High School is shaping up to be one of the most important nights for local parents in quite some time. A 6pm meeting gives Dunwoody residents a chance to weigh in on school redistricting plans that could reshape our community. DeKalb School Board member Andrew Ziffer breaks down what's driving the conversation. The district has thousands of empty seats overall. Dunwoody elementary schools follow that trend, yet Dunwoody High School is overcrowded. The goal is simple but tough: use existing space better with minimal disruption to the elementary schools neighbors love. Vanderlyn and Kingsley seem to be at the center of closure discussions, and Chesnut for expansion. Be sure to show up Thursday night and make your voice heard!

I am absolutely thrilled to announce a powerhouse collaboration of storytelling and stagecraft! The incredibly talented Atlanta Playwright Jacob York stopped by The Ash Said It Show for an exclusive, deep-dive conversation about his highly anticipated world premiere of INITIATIVE. This isn't just a play; it's a groundbreaking theatrical event opening at the end of this month at the prestigious Aurora Theatre in Lawrenceville, GA. Running from March 26 through April 19, 2026, this production is already the talk of the Atlanta arts community, and I cannot wait for you to hear the heart and soul behind this script. Directed by the visionary Katie Erin Chambers, Initiative is a brilliant exploration of friendship, legacy, and the power of imagination. The story follows a tight-knit group of friends who gather around a gaming table for one final, epic campaign—one that beautifully transcends the boundaries of fantasy and reality. As the character Dave battles an aggressive illness, he turns to the legendary world of Dungeons & Dragons to manufacture the milestones he fears he'll never reach. With every roll of the d20, his companions craft a quest that encompasses a lifetime of memories, from the profound responsibilities of fatherhood to the simple wonder of seeing the ocean for the first time. This play is the ultimate "crit hit" for theater lovers and tabletop gamers alike. It delivers the perfect combination of unapologetic nerdiness, deep-seated pathos, and genuine joy. Audiences can expect a rollercoaster of emotions—complete with thrilling sword fights, menacing orcs, and those heavy moments of existential dread that make us human. It is a testament to how we use play and community to navigate the hardest parts of our lives. Whether you are a seasoned Paladin or have never touched a character sheet, York's writing ensures that the human element is front and center. I'm diving into the creative process with Jacob to discuss how he balanced the mechanics of RPG gaming with such a high-stakes emotional narrative. This is the must-see world premiere of the season, and you'll want to hear every detail right here before the curtain rises at the Aurora Theatre.

Podcast 322 – Dunwoody High Reopens Its Renovated Theater with Little Women – Amanda Lower Dunwoody High School's newly renovated theater is stepping into the spotlight with the Broadway musical Little Women. Director of Theatre Amanda Lower explains how the upgrade is transforming the Wildcat Theatre program and giving students hands-on experience with professional-level lighting and sound. A new LED lighting system lets students control stage color and mood digitally instead of swapping old-school gels, creating a more polished show while teaching real technical theater skills. Amanda also shares how classes like acting, improv, technical theater, and public speaking help students build confidence, creativity, and teamwork. Beyond the stage, the Dunwoody High speech team is also finding success in competitions around metro Atlanta. Opening night Friday includes a special gala celebrating the renovated theater, complete with refreshments and a short video showing off the new lighting and sound system. It's a big moment for arts education in Dunwoody.   Full episode summary lives here:  whatsupdunwoody.com/podcast-322 What's Up Dunwoody Links:  

Podcast 321 – How Morty's Expansion and {S}table Are Reshaping Funwoody – Mitchell Abes Mitchell Abes shares how a few unexpected opportunities in Dunwoody Village allowed the Funwoody team to think bigger. When extra space suddenly became available, they did not hesitate. Walls were pushed back and new concepts took shape, creating fresh momentum near Perimeter Mall. {S}table is opening soon in the former Steak and Grace space with a modern Southern menu designed for real life in Dunwoody. Think fried chicken, rich comfort flavors, and a space that works just as well for brunch as it does for date night. Just steps away, Morty's expanded its footprint, added the Smokehouse Stage, and now hosts trivia on Wednesdays, karaoke on select Thursdays, and Dueling Pianos every Friday and Saturday starting March 6. Then there is Green Eggs and Kegs on April 18, the “best party in the burbs.” From 1 to 5 pm, the courtyard and parking lot fills with 30 restaurants, 50 drink sponsors, and live music from 770's and Family Truckster, all benefiting Breakthrough T1D.

Podcast 320 – Coach Tez and the Rise of Dunwoody Girls Flag Football – Montez Swinney Dunwoody girls flag football has taken off in a big way, and Coach Tez is right at the center of it. Montez Swinney has helped turn Dunwoody girls flag football into one of the most talked about programs on campus, all rooted in one clear belief: FAMILY. He launched the team during COVID with just 22 girls and a vision. Now more than 100 athletes try out each year. The program includes multiple levels, a growing feeder system, and a region championship banner to prove the work is paying off. Coach Tez was even named Coach of the Year, but ask him and he will point back to discipline, preparation, and accountability. His teams study film. They correct mistakes. They show up for each other. He also leads the girls lacrosse team at Dunwoody High, and many of the same athletes switch jerseys each season, carrying that same standard from fall flag football to spring lacrosse. And that connection shows. The girls compete hard for each other, but they also compete hard for a coach who loves them like FAMILY.

Podcast 319 – The Feeney Legacy Project and Why You Should Always Call 911 – Lia Armistead Lia Armistead shares the story behind the Feeney Legacy Project, born from a tragic loss that might have had a different outcome. After her brother experienced cardiac arrest, the person with him hesitated to call 911 out of fear of getting in trouble. That delay mattered. Now her family is working to make sure more people understand Georgia's 911 Amnesty laws and know they are protected when they make that call. The message is simple. Call 911. Then start chest compressions immediately until paramedics arrive. The annual Feeney 5K at Brook Run Park brings that mission to life. It is an AJC Peachtree Road Race qualifier, but it is also built for families, walkers, and anyone who wants to support something meaningful. Mad Italian  is also hosting a month-long fundraiser to rally local support.

CTL Script/ Top Stories of January 23rd Publish Date: January 23rd   Pre-Roll: From the Ingles Studio Welcome to the Award-Winning Cherokee Tribune Ledger Podcast  Today is Friday, January 23rd and Happy Birthday to Earl Falconer I’m Chris Culwell and here are the stories Cherokee is talking about, presented by Times Journal Former Cherokee County Probate Court judge retires New Kilwin's store opens at The Mill on Etowah in Canton Cherokee County school board member won’t seek reelection Plus, Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on breads We’ll have all this and more coming up on the Cherokee Tribune-Ledger Podcast, and if you’re looking for Community news, we encourage you to listen and subscribe!  Commercial: INGLES 2 STORY 1: Former Cherokee County Probate Court judge retires After 50 years in the legal world, Kipling “Kip” McVay has officially retired, closing the book on a career that spanned everything from title research to serving as Cherokee County’s probate judge. Her last day? December 4, 2025, when Governor Brian Kemp accepted her resignation. McVay’s career began in 1973, digging into title research at Sen. Sam Nunn’s old law firm. From there, she wore countless hats: prosecutor, trial attorney, ethics commission director, private practice owner, and eventually, Cherokee County’s first female probate judge. Oh, and she also became the first woman to conduct a jury trial in the county. Her time as probate judge (1997–2008) was transformative. She modernized the office, introduced mediation to resolve family disputes, and even handpicked her successor, Keith Wood, who’s still serving today. After stepping down as probate judge, McVay wasn’t done. She served as a senior judge for Georgia’s Probate Courts, taking on cases across the state—sometimes for years at a time. One particularly messy case involved an estate with no will, feuding heirs, and years of unresolved disputes. Now retired, McVay has traded courtrooms for family time and volunteering at Northeast Georgia Medical Center in Gainesville, where she moved in 2020. “It’s been a good run,” she said, “but I’m enjoying this new chapter.” STORY 2: New Kilwin's store opens at The Mill on Etowah in Canton Canton just got a little sweeter—Kilwin’s is now open at The Mill on Etowah, serving up chocolate, fudge, and over 30 flavors of ice cream. The shop, which opened Dec. 18, sits next to Rock N Roll Sushi and shares a building with Campania. Franchisee Mona Rathore, who also owns the downtown Woodstock location, said Canton was the perfect spot. “We wanted to create a family-friendly space where people could enjoy our sweets. The Mill felt like the heart of the community—it just made sense.” Kilwin’s menu is a sugar lover’s dream: hand-dipped caramel apples (made fresh in-store), creamy fudge, specialty chocolates, and, of course, their famous ice cream. So far, the response has been incredible. “We love seeing families stop by after dinner,” Rathore said. “Even though we’re a franchise, we feel like a local business. We live, shop, and eat here—it’s home.” Kilwin’s Canton is open daily from noon to 8 p.m., with extended hours coming this summer. Online ordering and delivery through DoorDash and Uber Eats are on the way, too. STORY 3: Cherokee County school board member won’t seek reelection  Cherokee County School Board Member Susan Padgett-Harrison is calling it a career. After decades in education and public service, she’s announced she’ll retire at the end of the year and won’t seek another term. Padgett-Harrison’s career spans 29 years as a teacher, principal, and district leader before joining the board in 2023. During her tenure, CCSD’s state “report card” score hit a record 87, and the district climbed from 21st to 8th in state rankings. She’s proud of the progress: lower debt, expanded career programs, and rising AP scores. Three other board seats (Districts 3, 4, and 5) are also up for grabs this year, with elections set for May 19 and Nov. 3. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows.

And this one? It was a nail-biter. The Grizzlies edged out South Effingham 36-35 in the final, capping off a perfect 4-0 run at Legacy Arena in Douglasville. Wins over Habersham Central, Villa Rica, and Dunwoody set the stage, but the finale? That was something else. Down 35-6 with five matches left, Creekview pulled off the unthinkable: five straight pins. Aaron Campbell, Pierce Marsh, Weston Wilkie, Logan Pritchett, and Costen Wright stepped up, with Wright sealing the deal at 175 pounds. Even a loss at 132 pounds by Bo Richardson turned out to be crucial, saving a team point that made the difference. South Effingham was no pushover—they’d dominated all tournament long, just like Creekview. But the Grizzlies weren’t about to let this one slip. With the traditional tournament still ahead, Creekview’s not done yet. BRAVES: Carlos Beltrán and Andruw Jones are headed to Cooperstown, two center fielders who dominated their eras with a mix of power, speed, and jaw-dropping defense. Born just a day apart in April 1977, they’ll now share the stage at the Hall of Fame induction on July 26. Beltrán, in his fourth year on the ballot, finally crossed the 75% threshold, earning 84.2% of the vote. Jones, in his ninth year, got 78.4%. Both had to climb uphill—Beltrán’s path clouded by the Astros’ sign-stealing scandal, Jones’ by a slow start in Hall voting (just 7.3% in 2018). Beltrán, a nine-time All-Star, hit .279 with 435 homers and 1,587 RBIs over 20 seasons. He was a postseason monster, batting .307 with 16 homers in 65 playoff games. “The Mets are a big part of my identity,” he said, though his career spanned stints with Kansas City, Houston, St. Louis, and others. Jones, meanwhile, was a defensive wizard, winning 10 Gold Gloves and smashing 434 homers. He’s now the sixth Braves legend from their 1990s dynasty to make the Hall, joining Maddux, Glavine, Smoltz, Chipper, and McGriff. STORY 5: Winter storm watch issued for Cherokee County this weekend  Brace yourselves, north Georgia—winter’s about to get messy. The National Weather Service says a storm is rolling in this weekend, and Cherokee County is under a winter storm watch from 1 a.m. Saturday to 10 a.m. Monday. South of Cherokee? No watch, but don’t get too comfortable. Here’s the deal: expect freezing rain, sleet, and maybe some snow. Saturday starts with rain, but by nightfall, temps drop to 27, and things get icy—literally. Sunday? More freezing rain, highs around 34, and a low of 17. Power outages? Likely. Roads? Treacherous. If you must travel, pack a winter kit—blankets, water, flashlight, the works. And don’t forget to protect your pets, plants, and pipes. Need shelter? MUST Ministries’ warming center on Bells Ferry Road opens Saturday, serving dinner at 5 p.m. Stay safe, stay warm, and keep an eye on updates.

Podcast 316 – Burnout, Branding, and Building Something Better for Patients in Dunwoody – Dr. Dhaval R. Desai After 15 years as a hospital leader, Dr. Dhaval Desai stepped away from burnout and bureaucracy. He left the system to focus on people, not paperwork. His new home, Atlanta Internists, follows a Direct Primary Care model—no insurance middlemen, no rushed appointments, just time, access, and care that actually feels like care. His memoir, Burning Out on the COVID Front Lines, shares a raw, personal look at medicine, fatherhood, and resilience. His podcast, Seen in Full, features honest conversations with other professionals navigating burnout and identity. And through it all, he's been putting himself out there and building a brand in interviews and on social media—all based around showing up, listening longer, and making care more human.

Podcast 315 – Meet Dunwoody's Student Visionaries of the Year: Cure Chasers – Grayson Myddleton and Bramley Gordon Grayson Myddleton and Bramley Gordon, both sophomores at Dunwoody High, are leading the city's first-ever Student Visionaries of the Year team: the Cure Chasers. With a $56,000 fundraising goal for Blood Cancer United, they've rallied 20+ local students to give back in a big way. Their mission is personal. They both have seen how devastating cancer can be, and that's what fuels their commitment. But what they're gaining along the way might be just as powerful. Grayson and Bramley have stepped into roles that demand public speaking, team leadership, and nonprofit strategy. The Student Visionaries program isn't just a fundraiser—it's a full-on crash course in confidence and communication.

As Sock Talks continue, we're joined by William Dunwoody, Construction Bidding Administrator with the Georgia Department of Transportation. William tells us the one thing that AI will never replaces, and gives his thoughts on thematic consistency at this year's TRB conference.

In this episode, I'm joined by behavioral coach and human design expert Emma Dunwoody, author of Human Design Made Simple. Emma and I explore what human design really is (beyond the "woo"), how it maps your unique energetic blueprint and why understanding your type can feel like a deep exhale of self-permission. This conversation is both practical and inspiring. We talk about why so many of us are exhausted and burned out, how women's energy cycles differ from the 24-hour "hustle" model, and how human design can guide the way you work, parent and build relationships. Emma shares powerful stories from her own life and business, and I share what I discovered in my own chart. Together, we explore how human design can help you shift out of shame and "shoulds" and move into a more aligned, authentic way of living, very much in sync with what it means to live from your Adult Chair. In this episode, you'll hear:  What human design is and how it combines ancient wisdom and modern science into an "energetic blueprint" A simple breakdown of the 5 human design types and what each is here to do Why so many Generators and Manifesting Generators end up burned out How women's ~28-day energetic cycle clashes with the push-to-produce 24/7 model How understanding design can transform your relationships and parenting What I learned about my own chart and why it felt so validating Resources from this Episode: Visit Emma's website & print out YOUR chart!

Podcast 312 – How Dunwoody High Counselors Support Every Student – Luke Ingram and Denise Spain Dunwoody High might be a big school, but it doesn't feel that way once you meet the counselors. With my son Micah heading there next year from Cornerstone Christian Academy, I wanted to learn what makes the transition smoother—for him and for other families coming from private schools. So I sat down with counselors Luke Ingram and Denise Spain. They walked me through how five full-time counselors guide students all four years, helping with everything from AP schedules and college apps to mental health and slip-on shoes. Dunwoody High reflects the real diversity of our city, and this team makes sure every student feels seen and supported. Whether you're new to the public school system or just want to understand how things work these days, this episode is a great place to start.

What if the exhaustion you feel isn’t a personal failing, but simply your body fighting against a system it was never designed for? What if the burnout, the people-pleasing, and the relentless grind aren’t character flaws, but signs you’re running the wrong energetic blueprint? Human design expert Emma Dunwoody reveals a revolutionary truth: we aren’t all designed to work, rest, or succeed the same way. Understanding your unique energy type is the key to finally stopping the burnout cycle and stepping into your authentic power. The Woman Who Refused Her Diagnosis At 28, Emma Dunwoody sat in a psychologist’s office, deeply suicidal, and received a devastating diagnosis: depression, anxiety, and panic disorder that she would never heal from, only learn to live with. Walking across the car park that day, Emma faced two options: end it all, or work out how she got there and find a way out. She chose the second path, embarking on a profound healing journey that eventually led her across 800 kilometres of Spain on the Camino pilgrimage, searching for her true purpose. Within 48 hours of returning home, human design appeared everywhere in her life. It was the exact missing piece she’d been seeking. Now at 50, Emma is a master coach, author of “Human Design Made Simple,” and host of The Human Design Podcast, on a mission to take this transformative system mainstream. The Science of Differentiation Human design is what Emma calls “the science of differentiation,” a system that presupposes we are all completely unique, and that this individuality itself is valuable and important. It reveals five distinct energy types, each designed to work, rest, and create success differently. Manifestors are the initiators who start the flame. Generators are the builders of sustainable energy for what lights them up. Manifesting Generators are the hybrids who demonstrate human potential, moving fast and multi-passionately. Projectors are the guides who see deeply into systems and improve efficiency. Reflectors are the truth tellers who mirror back collective reality. The problem? We’ve all been conditioned to operate the same way, following systems designed for one type while forcing everyone else to adapt. The result is epidemic burnout. Two Types of Burnout You Need to Know Emma distinguishes between two fundamentally different burnout experiences. Non-sacral types (manifestors, projectors, reflectors) experience complete shutdown. They literally cannot continue and end up on the couch or in the doctor’s office. Sacral types (generators and manifesting generators) experience what Emma calls “functional burnout.” They keep going and going, but disconnect from their passion and life force. They’re exhausted but can’t stop. Life becomes Groundhog Day without joy or meaning. Understanding which type you are changes everything about how you prevent and recover from burnout. Stop Treating Others Like You Emma challenges the golden rule we’ve all been taught: treat others as you would like to be treated. Human design says the opposite: treat others as they are designed to be treated. This shift removes projection and honors each person’s unique blueprint. In parenting, it means understanding that generator children need three sports a week to discharge energy, while projector children need quiet rest after absorbing everyone’s energy at school all day. In business, it means building teams and systems around people’s actual energy, not forcing everyone into the same mold. Your Superpowers Have Shadows Every aspect of our design has both a superpower and a shadow side. For manifesting generators like Emma and host Catherine Plano, the superpower of high energy and multi-passionate capability becomes a shadow of overworking, lack of boundaries, and people-pleasing. Deconditioning means becoming aware of these patterns and consciously choosing differently. Once you understand your shadows, you can reclaim your superpowers and use them intentionally rather than unconsciously. Building Business by Your Design Emma teaches entrepreneurs to stop following someone else’s seven-figure launch formula and instead build businesses aligned with their unique design. Her own seven-figure business thrives with three manifesting generators on the core team, defying traditional advice about needing different types. The key is understanding each person’s energetic blueprint and creating systems that support rather than drain their energy. Success comes from alignment, not force. The Experiment That Changes Everything Emma emphasises that human design isn’t dogma but an experiment. Get your free chart, read the book, listen to the podcast, then run the experiment in your own life. Does it resonate? Does it create more flow, abundance, and connection? Through this lens, Catherine discovered her Cross of Rulership, revealing that her purpose involves redefining power from patriarchal dominance to genuine empowerment. Emma identified Catherine’s Gate 22, an emotional energy connected to using voice to move people, but only from the right emotional state. These insights provide language for what we already feel inside, giving us permission to be authentically ourselves. Three Golden Nuggets for Your Journey Believing in Yourself Is a Choice Every successful person shares one fundamental attribute: they believe in themselves. This isn’t something that magically appears one day. It’s a daily choice to love, accept, and trust yourself. Everything You Seek Already Lives Within You The magic, the power, the answers all exist inside you right now. Human design helps you access what’s already there, revealing the brilliant being you were designed to be. Never Give Up on Your Heart’s Knowing If your heart tells you something is for you, even when you don’t know why or how, never give up. Trust that you’re on the path, becoming the person who can receive what you’re calling in. Be patient and persistent. About Emma Dunwoody Emma Dunwoody is a Human Design Expert, Master Coach, Author, Behavioural Specialist, Speaker and host of The Human Design Podcast. Based in Byron Bay, Australia, she founded the Emma Dunwoody Collective and has trained thousands worldwide in her unique Transformational Human Design method, combining Human Design, Gene Keys, and transformational coaching. She’s on a mission to help millions transform their lives by making human design simple, applicable, and powerfully transformative. Key Takeaway You are not broken. You are not lazy. You are simply running an energy system that doesn’t match your design. When you understand your unique type and honour your authentic blueprint, burnout becomes optional. Success becomes sustainable. Life becomes joyful. Coming home to your true design means reclaiming the power that has always been yours.

Podcast 309 – Dunwoody's Comeback Clinic for Soccer Dads and Teen Athletes – Daniel Bodkin   Dunwoody now has a hidden gem that's bridging the gap between pro-level rehab and local athletes. Daniel Bodkin runs ProActive Athletic Performance, a modern sports science clinic folks around Atlanta are calling the "comeback lab." Daniel has tested NFL stars like Andrew Luck and RG3, and now he's helping Dunwoody dads, teen athletes, and weekend warriors recover smarter and get back to peak performance. His clinic uses the same machines trusted by NFL teams at the Combine to show exactly where your body stands and where it needs to go. I stepped into the lab last week and went through the full assessment, learning exactly what I need to work on to keep playing competitive soccer into my 50s. Daniel measured how much power I generate off each leg when I jump and broke down why one of my quads isn't pulling its weight. Seeing my numbers side by side was eye-opening. If you've got even a small imbalance or old injury, he'll find it. And then he'll give you a plan to fix it. Whether you're a parent wondering if your kid is ready to return from an ACL injury, or just trying to survive over-40 soccer without pulling a hammy, this episode is worth a listen.

===== MDJ Script/ Top Stories for October 24th Publish Date:  October 24th    Commercial: From the BG AD Group Studio, Welcome to the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast.    Today is Friday, October 24th and Happy Birthday to Kevin Kline I’m Keith Ippolito and here are the stories Cobb is talking about, presented by Times Journal Mableton candidates share plans to tackle homelessness amid rising concerns Turnout remains steady in Week 2 of early voting Brazilian steakhouse coming to Cumberland Mall Plus, Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on sweet tooths All of this and more is coming up on the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen and subscribe!  BREAK: Ingles Markets 2 STORY 1: Mableton candidates share plans to tackle homelessness amid rising concerns  Homelessness is a growing issue in Cobb County, and Mableton, as the county’s newest city, isn’t immune. As of February, five homeless encampments were identified in the area. Local resources like Family Life Restoration Center and HOPE Family Resource Center are working to help, but the challenge is complex. In August, a former Wingate Hotel near Six Flags was converted into housing for homeless veterans, despite pushback from Mableton’s City Council. With two contested City Council races on the Nov. 4 ballot, candidates were asked how they’d address homelessness. District 2 Michael McNeely emphasized collaboration: “We need an asset map to identify resources and capacity, especially as the weather changes. I’ll work with elected officials, churches, and nonprofits like Family Life Restoration to create a sustainable plan.” Incumbent Dami Oladapo focused on partnerships and community action: “We can expand resources with groups like HOPE Family Resource Center and Family Life Restoration. But it’s not just about institutions—neighbors coming together to collect blankets or food makes a real impact. Long-term, we need attainable housing and neighborhood revitalization.” District 4 Patricia Auch acknowledged the complexity: “We direct people to nonprofits like MUST Ministries and Sweetwater Mission, but homelessness often involves mental health or substance abuse issues. It’s not just about finding a home—it’s about addressing deeper problems.” Cassandra Brown, meanwhile, stressed connection over criminalization: “We need to link unhoused residents to local nonprofits already doing the work, like Family Life Restoration and HOPE. MUST Ministries is great, but it’s too far—over two hours by bus. We need solutions closer to home.” Homelessness remains a tough, multifaceted issue, but candidates agree: it’ll take compassion, collaboration, and creativity to make progress. STORY 2: Turnout remains steady in Week 2 of early voting  Early voting in Cobb County is off to a slow but steady start, with just under 6% of eligible voters casting ballots so far. Monday and Tuesday saw the second- and third-highest turnout days, with 1,410 and 1,495 voters, respectively. Friday still holds the top spot with 1,728 votes. Some locations, like the Cobb Elections Main Office in Marietta, are seeing spikes—554 voters showed up Tuesday. East Cobb’s Government Service Center also had its busiest days, with 321 voters Monday and 329 Tuesday. Early voting runs through Oct. 31 at seven locations countywide, with hours varying by day. Election Day is Nov. 4. STORY 3: Brazilian steakhouse coming to Cumberland Mall  Fogo de Chão, the beloved Brazilian steakhouse known for its tableside meat service, is heading to Cumberland Mall, taking over part of the old Sears site. This week, the Cobb Board of Commissioners gave the green light for the mall’s site plan update, paving the way for an 8,670-square-foot restaurant between Dick’s Sporting Goods and Cobb Parkway. If you’re unfamiliar, Fogo de Chão is all about churrasco—Brazilian barbecue where meats are roasted over an open flame and carved right at your table. Guests use a green-and-red disc to signal servers: green means “keep it coming,” red means “I’m stuffed.” This will be Georgia’s third Fogo location, joining Buckhead and Dunwoody. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.799.6810 for more info.  We’ll be right back. Break: Ingles Markets 2 STORY 4: Cobb School Board vice chair ordered to repay $225,000 in lawsuit settlement On Wednesday, a Fulton County judge ordered Cobb School Board Vice Chair John Cristadoro to pay $225,000 to Sagicor Life Insurance Company after allegations of misappropriated funds. According to court documents, Cristadoro’s marketing firm, Alliance Activation, received $250,000 from Sagicor to fund an advertising campaign. Of that, $225,000 was meant for a third-party vendor, Sunburst Entertainment, but the money never made it there. Instead, it was allegedly used to cover Alliance’s operating expenses—and even Cristadoro’s personal credit card bills. Judge Wesley Tailor ruled Cristadoro must pay $186,000 within three days, followed by $500 monthly payments until the full amount is settled. Cristadoro denied wrongdoing, calling the settlement a business negotiation and accusing critics of “manufacturing outrage.” However, parents and activists, including Heather Tolley-Bauer of Watching the Funds Cobb, pushed for transparency, opposing Cristadoro’s attempt to seal the settlement details.

It goes straight to the energetic blueprint that's coded in your DNA. This energetic blueprint happened at your birth, as subatomic particles moved through your body and imprinted your DNA. It's the map that's going to lead you back to the most authentic version of you." — Emma Dunwoody "We think we know who we're meant to be and what we're meant to do and we really don't. We can't see that big picture. When you start living more in alignment with your Human Design, you learn to tap into the body, and you're constantly told in every moment what is right for you and what isn't." — Emma Dunwoody "Our purpose is bigger than the job that we do. Our purpose is our energy. Our greatest purpose is just to be our most authentic self, because then we are fulfilling the puzzle piece we need to fulfill to move to this new world." — Emma Dunwoody

GDP Script/ Top Stories for October 11th Publish Date: October 11th PRE-ROLL: From the BG AD Group Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Saturday, October 11th and Happy Birthday to Steve Young I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are your top stories presented by Gwinnett KIA Mall of Georgia. Fernbank Museum set to premiere 2 new Giant Screen films House Republicans consider more funding for public health Pleasant Hill Presbyterian Church Hosts 40th Anniversary Community Carnival and Trunk or Treat All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen daily and subscribe! Break 1: 07.14.22 KIA MOG STORY 1: Fernbank Museum set to premiere 2 new Giant Screen films This fall, Fernbank Museum is serving up two epic adventures on its Giant Screen Theater—stories that’ll stick with you long after the credits roll. First up, “Wild Rescue” (premiering today Oct. 11). It’s a behind-the-scenes look at the Santa Barbara Wildlife Care Network, where bobcats, pelicans, and other injured animals get a second shot at life. Think animal ER, but with jaw-dropping cinematography and a whole lot of heart. Then there’s “Secrets of Great Salt Lake” (opening Nov. 8). Mammoths, saber-toothed cats, ancient floods—it’s a wild ride through time, showing how water shapes life, from the Rockies to the Great Salt Lake. Both films are included with general admission. Don’t miss it. STORY 2: House Republicans consider more funding for public health   Georgia’s public health system is at a breaking point, lawmakers were told Tuesday. Federal funding is drying up—COVID-era dollars are gone, grants are shrinking, and the Congressional budget mess isn’t helping. State funding has increased over the years, but it’s not enough. Per-person spending has dropped from $97 in 2012 to just $74 today, said Leah Chan of the Georgia Budget and Policy Institute. Rural areas? They’re hit hardest—fewer resources, fewer workers, and the looming threat of hospital closures. Advocates made it clear: public health programs save money and lives. Vaccinations, lead abatement, substance abuse prevention—they all reduce preventable deaths and boost the economy. Lawmakers listened, but what’s next? No one’s saying yet. The committee has until Dec. 1 to make recommendations. STORY 3: Pleasant Hill Presbyterian Church Hosts 40th Anniversary Community Carnival and Trunk or Treat   Pleasant Hill Presbyterian Church in Duluth is throwing a big party, and everyone’s invited! To celebrate 40 years, they’re hosting a Community Carnival and Trunk or Treat on Saturday, Oct. 25, from 1 to 3 p.m. in the back parking lot. It’s free, it’s fun, and it’s packed with stuff for the whole family—think decorated trunks, games, face painting, a bounce house, raffle baskets, a fall photo booth, snacks, drinks, and, of course, candy. Lots of candy. They’re also asking guests to bring canned or nonperishable food to stock their Little Free Pantry, helping neighbors in need. Come for the fun, stay for the community vibes. 3700 Pleasant Hill Road, Duluth. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.874.3200 for more info. We’ll be right back Break 2: CITY OF SUGAR HILL STORY 4: Man and woman killed in domestic shooting near Lawrenceville Gwinnett police are piecing together what happened Wednesday morning in a tragic domestic incident that left a man and woman dead in a home near Lawrenceville. Officers were called to the 600 block of Clearwater Place around 9:40 a.m. after someone reported a shooting. Inside a bedroom, they found the two victims—both dead from apparent gunshot wounds. A gun was recovered at the scene, but the Medical Examiner’s Office will confirm the exact cause of death. Detectives aren’t searching for suspects, but they’re interviewing witnesses and combing through evidence. The victims’ names haven’t been released yet, as police are notifying family. Anyone with information can call detectives at 770-513-5300 or leave an anonymous tip with Crime Stoppers at 404-577-8477. Cash rewards are available for tips leading to an arrest. STORY 5: Grayson Football Heads into 15-Day Break with Dominant Win Grayson’s freshman quarterback, Deuce Smith, is making this whole “starter” thing look easy. Filling in after Travis Burgess’ season-ending injury, Smith threw *five* first-half touchdowns Thursday night, leading the Rams to a 58-10 demolition of Rockdale County. Grayson wasted no time. Josh Thomas ripped off a 62-yard run on the first play, and two snaps later, Smith hit Saif Bin-Wahad for a quick 7-0 lead. By the end of the first quarter? 34-7. Even the reserves got in on the action. Junior Tre Crum ran in a touchdown, and freshman Jojo Watts electrified the sideline with a 50-yard punt return score. Grayson, now riding a 22-game win streak, has 15 days to prep for South Gwinnett. Break 3: STORY 6: GCPS names 25 semifinalists for Teacher of the Year Gwinnett County Public Schools just announced the 25 semifinalists for the 2027 Teacher of the Year award, narrowing down an impressive field of 141 local winners. These educators—spanning elementary, middle, and high schools—are now in the running for the district’s top teaching honor. The big moment? January 29 at 6:30 p.m., when GCPS will host a banquet to celebrate all local school Teachers of the Year and crown the county’s best. This year’s semifinalists include standout teachers like Marquiesha Pless Morris (2nd grade, Baggett Elementary), Kelly Swanson (AP Psychology, Brookwood High), and Cindy Quinlan (Entrepreneurship, Phoenix High). The full list of semifinalists showcases the incredible talent shaping Gwinnett’s classrooms every day. STORY 7: Shiloh Grad Michael Nash Remembered Fondly in Gwinnett, Dunwoody It took Michael Nash a while to figure out where he belonged. Coaching and teaching weren’t on his radar at first. After graduating from Shiloh High in 1992, he tried college football, worked in his parents’ business, even moved out of state to build houses. But life has a funny way of steering you back. One day, his old friend Ed Shaddix, then principal at North Gwinnett High, called him up. “Are you ready yet?” Shaddix asked. And that was it. Nash, in his 30s, with a wife, two kids, and bills to pay, went back to school. He worked at North, coached under Bob Sphire, and earned his degree. It wasn’t easy, but it was the start of something bigger. Nash’s coaching journey took him from Shiloh to Dunwoody, where he spent 10 years rebuilding a struggling program. When he arrived, there were 17 players, no facilities, and barely $20,000 in the budget. But he got to work—weight training, nutrition programs, camps, fundraising. Slowly, the team grew to over 120 players, with a budget in the hundreds of thousands. It wasn’t just about football, though. Nash believed in loving his players, in making them better people. He coached lacrosse and baseball when the school needed him. He helped kids with problems at home. In February, Nash left Dunwoody to coach at Chattahoochee County, closer to family. Tragically, he passed away on October 3 after emergency surgery. He was 51. A memorial service will be held October 12 at Dunwoody Baptist Church. To support his family, visit the GoFundMe page in his honor.

Start Your Transformation Now  In this thought-provoking episode, Jim sits down with Emma Dunwoody, a world-renowned Human Design expert, behavioral coach, and author of Human Design Made Simple. Emma shares how Human Design goes beyond traditional personality tests like Myers-Briggs and Enneagram, offering an energetic blueprint that reveals your authenticity, purpose, and how you're designed to thrive in relationships, business, and life.  Emma breaks down the origins of Human Design, why so many people struggle with strategies that don't work for them, and how understanding your design helps you release conditioning, honor your energy, and step into sovereignty. Through personal stories and insights, she shows how Human Design can transform everything—from relationships to decision-making—by shifting from the head to the body and uncovering your unique strategy and authority.  If you've ever felt stuck trying to “fix yourself,” exhausted by running other people's strategies, or searching for clarity in relationships and purpose, this episode will give you a roadmap to your authentic self.  What You'll Discover in This Episode:  What Human Design Really Is (01:19) Emma explains how Human Design differs from traditional personality tests and why it's the energetic roadmap to authenticity.  The Five Human Design Types (07:32) Discover the roles of Manifestors, Generators, Manifesting Generators, Projectors, and Reflectors—and what they mean for your energy and life path.  How Conditioning Shapes (and Limits) Us (12:50) Why we take on other people's energy and conditioning, and how Human Design helps you separate what's truly yours from what isn't.  Relationships and Human Design (16:27) How knowing your design—and your partner's—can transform conflict, connection, and compatibility in relationships.  The Power of Undefined Centers (22:57) How “open spaces” in your chart reveal conditioning, trauma bonding, and why we repeat painful patterns until we decondition them.  Applying Human Design to Everyday Life (30:01) From relationships to decision-making, how Human Design provides sovereignty and clarity in navigating life.  Listen, apply, and enjoy!  Transformational Takeaway  True transformation isn't about fixing yourself—it's about remembering who you already are. As Emma shares, Human Design gives you permission to step out of conditioning, stop running other people's strategies, and embody your authentic energy. When you align with your design, you gain sovereignty, clarity, and the freedom to live your potential.  Mentioned Resources: https://www.emmadunwoody.com/ https://www.instagram.com/the_human_design_coach/ https://www.emmadunwoody.com/maggie Let's Connect:  Instagram | Facebook | YouTube | LinkedIn  LIKED THE EPISODE?  If you're the kind of person who likes to help others, then share this with your friends and family.
