Podcast appearances and mentions of garrett tichy

Welcome back to another episode of the award-winning BrandBuilders Podcast. On the program today we've got Garrett Tichy with us; a dynamic entrepreneur who's been a part of Charlotte's small business scene for years now. Garrett is the co-owner of Seemingly Overzealous, an innovative dairy-free ice cream shop that's working to become a local favorite.  OG small business folks may also know Garrett as the visionary and community-builder behind Hygge (HOO-gah), the popular co-working space that fostered collaboration and creativity among some of Charlotte's up-and-coming brands and businesses.  Known for his insightful perspectives on small business dynamics and community support in Charlotte, Garrett brings a wealth of experience and a unique viewpoint to our conversation – welcome back to the show! 

If we all scream for ice cream, then this episode of the BrandBuilders Podcast is going to get pretty loud. We're talking to a pair of ice cream entrepreneurs who are bringing something new and different – and we'll bet, pretty delicious – to the frozen treat game here in Charlotte. Garrett Tichy and Jess Berresse are co-founders of Seemingly Overzealous, a dairy-free dessert location that opens this weekend at Camp North End. We've got them both here for the … yes, we have to say it: “the scoop,” on this all-new venture.

We're sitting down with Garrett to talk all about the new partnership with Columbus-based COhatch and what it means for the business. We also get some tips about Milan, because that's just how Zero to Ten rolls.

We're sitting down with Jess Berresse, the better half of Seemingly Overzealous, a dairy-free ice cream shop coming to Camp North End in just a few weeks. She also just happens to be hygge coworking's owner, Garrett Tichy's, girlfriend. We learn about her favorite and least favorite flavors, get an update on the shop and talk about the difficulty of building a business with someone you also live with.

Welcome back! Jessica and Garrett who are the owners of the opening soon dairy-free ice cream shop, Seemingly Overzealous in Camp North End stop by. We chat about their journeys to Charlotte and their emotions on taking a chance to follow their passion in opening an ice cream shop.

On this weeks episode of the Parliament Podcast, the crew welcomes the owner of Hygge(hoo-gah) Coworking, Garrett Tichy. Garrett shares his experiences in the video game world, how Hygge came to be, and how baking for the internet might just lead you to meet that special someone.

One of Hygge's earlier members, Alyssa Pressler moved up to overtake the company's marketing initiatives.

Hygge's owner Garrett Tichy is taking over Zero to Ten to talk with Alyssa, the usual Zero to Ten host, about her used bookstore at Camp North End.

"What if we just say exactly what we feel?" Garrett Tichy walks us through this episode's malaprop in real life on being separated...and dating. When do you decide to get back out there? Do you remember how to flirt? What are the rules after 12 years of being out of the game. We talk about all this and more. Happy listening!

Join us for Human Touch, our bi-weekly virtual seminar series, on Thursday, January 28, 11:00-11:30am EST as we chat with Garrett Tichy, the owner of hygge coworking & co-founder of smpl coworking software, on the topic of "Resilience."?? ?? Garrett knows firsthand the impact that COVID-19 has created on small businesses and how much entrepreneurs large and small have had to rely on their own resilience over the past year.??

"When you start to talk about stuff being really bad, I don't have a solution. I don't know what to do, and I don't know how to ask for help. I don't have a logical path forward because the landscape is changing every day." We've shared often over the past few months how the pandemic has affected small businesses and nonprofits we love, but we haven't given a ton of details on how we've been affected as a coworking space. This week on Zero to Ten we've got an extra special, long episode with hygge's founder and owner Garrett Tichy, and we get into the nitty gritty of what 2020 was like for us. He'll talk about our losses, how the tumultuous environment has affected his mental health, the decision to take on debt or not, and share the pretty grim, frank reality that there is no telling what the next few months will bring and if our small business will survive. It's not the cheeriest episode we've ever published, but it is one of the most realistic.

Garrett Tichy is the founder of one of the Charlotte area's most successful co-working businesses.  Not only is it where Tryon Realty Partners is based, Hygge is home to hundreds of smaller and emerging businesses. This week, hear from Garrett how he got into co-working, learn about Hygge and what he is working on for 2020.  

"I think 2020 has a lot of bright, shiny things potential in the horizon but also has an incredible amount of work ahead of it for myself," he told host Mary Johnson. We recorded this episode a few weeks ago on Garrett's birthday, so we got to hear a lot of his outlook on the new year and on him turning 36. It's a damn good episode - and we're not just saying that because he's the one who pays the bills. 

Garrett Tichy is the founder of Hygge coworking. Hygge is a coworking space here in Charlotte and, as you'll hear in the interview, is the largest privately-owned coworking space in the world. Yeah. I personally have an office at Hygge so I am a bit biased but CHECK THEM OUT at wearehygge.com.

And how many successful corporations have we heard about that started in a garage or basement? Entrepreneurship is the hardest game there is. To have an idea, put it in place, start a company, sell it, make money.... you get it. One new trend that's helped launch many an entrepreneur or startup is co-working... or, renting a bit of office space with some other folks who only need a bit of office space. One of the most popular co-working companies in Charlotte is Hygge. The man behind the easy workspace joins us for our 100th episode of the award-winning BrandBuilders Podcast. Welcome Garrett Tichy!

When I set up a call with my friend Garrett Tichy from Hygge Coworking in Charlotte, North Carolina, my intention was to talk about how the recent shooting on the UNC campus affected Tichy and the Hygge community. We touched The post Coworking Out Loud 019 – Getting Real with Garrett Tichy from Hygge Coworking appeared first on Cat Johnson Co.

When you build something for yourself that you’re proud of, that you enjoy and that focuses on the human element of business - you create MASSIVE value - a space filled with good people doing good things - you create Hygge.   In this episode, I had the opportunity to sit down with Garrett Tichy, owner of Hygge Coworking in Charlotte, NC. We dove into a lot around what makes Hygge special as well as some of Garrett’s unLearning experiences around success, failure, goal setting, money, community & more.   Listen, Subscribe, Rate & Review in iTunes & Stitcher.

December 25 is a special day every year around this time, and so it's fitting that we bring you Episode 25 this holiday season. Our most recent episode features Joe and Katy Kindred of Charlotte's runaway hit restaurants Kindred and Hello, Sailor! Let us first acknowledge the return of Page's favorite podcast intro on this episode. While we will always thank our buddy Penn Holderness for whipping together the intro you've heard over the previous 24 episodes in about 39 seconds, it was the throwaway clip of Jake you just heard that will likely kick things off going forward. We're either terribly sorry, or you're very welcome. Now, on to our guests... Joe and Katy have had a mildly successful foray into restaurateurship. After long, winding careers in the industry, spanning Charlotte, Chicago and San Francisco, and then back to Charlotte, the couple launched Kindred in Davidson. To say it was a rocket ship not only in the greater Queen City-area but nationwide would be putting it mildly. Kindred hit every "Top New _____" list in 2015, and it helped transform historic downtown Davidson in the process. On the heels of this success, the couple turned their attention to Lake Norman, where they took an old, declining shore front restaurant and flipped it into Hello, Sailor. In the span of a couple of years and a few miles, the Kindreds redefined night life in greater Charlotte. Joe's the chef and Katy's the brains behind the look and feel of their businesses and brand. The two talk about how they're raising their three young children as "restaurant kids," about all of the twists and turns they endured en route to their success and about how important it is for couples to continue to date even after marriage. In fact, they were headed to grab sushi immediately following the podcast. We loved them, and we think you will too. We can’t thank Joe and Katy enough for joining us on this episode, and as always, big thanks to Garrett Tichy, Hygge and Richard Brooke for having us as a member of their inaugural Hygge Podcast Residency!

We have a conversation with Garrett on starting a coworking company and how his community engagement drove his desire to provide a working space for others to launch their dreams. During all this, he opens up about self-awareness and keeping your mind sharp.

Welcome to Episode 24 of Date Night with Jake and Page, a podcast focused on bringing you some of the most interesting couples in...Honduras...? Let us explain. Meet Joey Hewell and Scott Lindsey, formerly co-owners of the beloved NoDa Company Store, co-founders of the NoDa Farmers Market and the - we've now learned - sort of real sort of not real Linwell Farms. While they're known throughout the Queen City for all they've brought to Charlotte's culture and the NoDa area, Scott and Joey recently moved to Roatán, where they are creating a paradise getaway. We recorded this episode before they moved and have been jealous of their new digs ever since. We can’t thank Scott and Joey enough for joining us on this episode, and as always, big thanks to Garrett Tichy, Hygge and Richard Brooke for having us as a member of their inaugural Hygge Podcast Residency!

We're coming to you live with a two-pack, gang! We've got episodes 21 and 22, featuring SkillPop founder Haley Bohon and her husband Steve, and Page's co-anchor Jason Harper and his wife Angie, respectively. (Episode 21 can be found wherever you get your podcasts too!) We realized we had started to collect a few episodes in the can, so we thought we'd release a couple together.  First up are Haley and Steve Bohon.  Haley founded Charlotte start-up darling SkillPop in 2015 and Steve joined her shortly thereafter.  SkillPop's claim to fame is that they are revolutionizing in-person education, and as public speaking teachers, Page and Jake can attest to it's rocket ship growth.  SkillPop has expanded to Raleigh, Greenville, S.C. and Nashville, and Steve and Haley have other major business development ideas brewing as well, especially after their recent appearance at Techstars in Austin.  The future is SUPER bright for these two, and Charlotte is lucky to have them. You'll recognize Jason Harper from his weekday appearances...right next to Page.  Jason is Page's co-anchor on FOX 46's Good Day Charlotte, and together with his wife Angie, the two make for a hilarious duo.  Jason and Angie team together to raise a blended family of four daughters, which is not lacking in funny stories.  What makes their backstory that much more interesting, is that they're high school sweethearts...sort of.  After knowing each other growing up, the two went their separate ways and eventually reunited after each having a first marriage.  And now together they enjoy hitting up Charlotte's breweries and every Old Navy in the 704. We can’t thank Haley, Steve, Jason and Angie enough for joining us on this episode, and as always, big thanks to Garrett Tichy, Hygge and Richard Brooke for having us as a member of their inaugural Hygge Podcast Residency!

Big ups once again to Richard for trying to salvage our memory card. RIP, good audio.

What exactly is a Hygge? In this episode, we connect with Garrett Tichy, founder of the trendy new co-working space that is popping up all over the city. Find out how to pronounce the name, and have all of your other co-working questions answered here in this podcast. 

We're back for Episode 20 of the Date Night with Jake and Page podcast! This episode is a family affair, as we had Casey (Page's brother!) & Michelle Crawford in the studio! To call Casey and Michelle a power couple would be an understatement. Not only are they both CEOs and owners of their respective companies, Movement Mortgage and Rising Crossfit Ballantyne in the Charlotte-area, but both are literally powerful. Casey doesn't look too far removed from his time with the Carolina Panthers (where he played from 2000-2001 before earning a Super Bowl ring with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers) and it was only one year ago that Michelle competed in the CrossFit Games (where she starred from 2013-17). While we were definitely guilty of steering too far at times into family jokes, we heard about the crazy story of how they realized they were each other's ones, how a couple from Virginia and New Jersey decided to call Charlotte home, and how they manage from going insane living so close to family (ahem). We can’t thank Casey and Michelle enough for joining us on this episode, and as always, big thanks to Garrett Tichy, Hygge and Richard Brooke for having us as a member of their inaugural Hygge Podcast Residency!

Garrett Tichy is the Founder and Owner of Hygge Coworking. A strong advocate for Charlotte, Tichy is well-known for his natural ability to build diverse and inclusive communities of professionals – both online and in-person – who appreciate and thrive on the power of connection to elevate an initiative, a workplace and a city. Before founding Hygge Coworking, Garrett was the owner creative digital marketing agency. This gives him a unique leg-up on applying marketing concepts to local businesses such as coworking spaces. Garrett facilitated a marketing break-out session at a recent industry event and his expertise and perspective drew me in and I accosted him in the hallway and asked him to be a guest on the podcast and help other owners be better marketers. Full show notes here.

Episode 19 of the Date Night with Jake and Page podcast is here. And, oh snap, do we have a special one for you - we had Muggsy and Kim Bogues join us in studio! Muggsy Bogues is, well, let's not mince words - he's a Charlotte sports icon. Point guard for those classic, throwback Hornets teams, Muggsy made a name for himself not only in the QC, but on the big screen as well, starring alongside Michael Jordan (and fellow Hornet Larry Johnson!) in Space Jam. Our kids (and Jake) may or may not have seen Space Jam 2,873 times. He and Kim KEEP. IT. REAL. over the course of our hour together. Their relationship backstory is interesting to say the least, with Muggsy even stopping himself at once point and admitting that he had never told part of their story publicly before (which Kim acknowledged hilariously). We also talked post-NBA life, what they're up to now, and how Kim is trying to keep up with the crazy success of her catering business, Hearth-N-Soul. We can’t thank Muggsy and Kim enough for joining us on this episode, and as always, big thanks to Garrett Tichy, Hygge and Richard Brooke for having us as a member of their inaugural Hygge Podcast Residency!

Welcome to Episode 18 of the Date Night with Jake and Page podcast! In this episode we get to know Roman and Heather Harper. Roman is a former New Orleans Saint and Carolina Panther, and he and Heather are high school sweethearts...sort of. Roman and Heather go back. Way back. And when you know someone for that long, You. Can. Keep. It. Real. And real they kept it. Gang, it wasn't all roses for these two. They were on, then off, then on again. Their origin story was one of ups and downs...you know, like normal couples. One of our favorite parts of the evening with Roman and Heather actually started right at the end of the recording. You hear Roman quickly say that they're still trying to figure everything out and what the next chapter will be. We ended up staying in the studio for another 20-30 minutes talking about that next chapter. I know, I know, we should have recorded it, but we feel like that's Roman and Heather's story to tell when they're ready. Stay tuned! We can’t thank Roman and Heather enough for joining us on this episode, and as always, big thanks to Garrett Tichy, Hygge and Richard Brooke for having us as a member of their inaugural Hygge Podcast Residency!

Welcome back to the Date Night with Jake and Page podcast! We laid low in December and January, but we're breaking out of our holiday slumber with AIRHORNS. Margarita Confessionals is probably Charlotte's most well-known and most listened-to podcast. Hosted by Lauren Levine and Ali Washburn, the show has grown a crazy following in the Queen City and has now even moved into iHeartRadio and live events at restaurants and bars. Lauren and Ali had us on an episode of theirs back in 2016, and we've been planning on turning the tables on them ever since. We finally got them in the studio, but you know we had to make it a date night, so they brought their current boos, Brad (Lauren) and Phil (Ali). What transpired was an hour of so...much...fun. The guys got vulnerable and talked about what it's like to often be the topic of conversation in a popular dating/lovelife podcast. The gals...well, they pretty much talked about the same. It's a really neat peak behind the curtain of one of Charlotte's most popular media teams and their current dating lives. We also took them out of their comfort zone in a big way and made them drink beer. Yeah. We can’t thank Amanda, Lauren, Brad and Phil enough for joining us on this episode, and as always, big thanks to Garrett Tichy, Hygge and Richard Brooke for having us as a member of their inaugural Hygge Podcast Residency!

It's been a minute, Charlotte. Our last 1-2 months have been filled with a new house, a new dog, holidays and most notably, no podcasts. We know. Wahhh. But... Weeeee'rrrrreeeee baaaaaaack. We have a ton of great podcasts scheduled for February, but in the meantime, we didn't want to let January go by (barely!) without dropping some content. And by content, we mean THREE NEW EPISODES! AND WE'RE DROPPING THEM ALL AT THE SAME TIME!!!!! ALL CAPS!!!!!!!!!! And the reason we didn't want to let January go by? It's our one year anniversary of the pod! Sort of. We think. Close enough. Time flies when you're sharing mics and beers! This three-pack is quite the mix to say the least. We've got: 1. Phillip and Amanda McLamb, owners of Resident Culture Brewing Company. New baby, new brewery, both growing like crazy. NBD. As you can see in the thumbnail, we celebrated Jake's birthday and the podcast's. In that order. 2. Lauren Levine and Ali Washburn from the Margarita Confessionals podcast. Wait, what? Yeah. They had us on their *fire emoji* podcast back in 2016 before our show existed, so we thought, hey that was sort of a date night, right? No? What the heck, we're adding it here (because #content). 3. Episode 0. Right after Hygge's very own, Garrett Tichy, named "Date Night with Jake and Page" as one of his co-working company's inaugural podcast residency members last January, the three of us taped a rambling, beautiful, incoherent, amazing, awful podcast. We've been staring at it for a year...and now it's time to release it to the world. Apologies in advance, Garrett.

Cheers, Charlotte! We're bringing you Episode 13 of the Date Night with Jake and Page podcast, where you'll hear from NoDa Brewing Company Founders and Owners, Todd and Suzie Ford! [FAN BOY ALERT!!!] As Page mentions in the podcast, when we debated moving to Charlotte back in 2014, the "Pros" list was: family, NoDa, jobs, Hop Drop, etc., etc. You get the point. We've been fans of the brewery for years, so it was only fitting that we bring on the couple behind what has become one of Charlotte's and the industry's leading craft beer brands. Todd and Suzie talk about how both of their companies were acquired around the same time, which coincided with a growing buzz around Todd's home brewing and tasting parties. They decided to make the proverbial leap to launch NoDa, and the rest is history. Now, they say, it's about keeping up the demand and all of the latest and greatest trends in the industry, while also standing up against state legislation which is currently limiting the growth of N.C. brewers. We can't thank Todd and Suzie enough for joining us on this episode, and as always, big thanks to Garrett Tichy, Hygge and Richard Brooke for having us as a member of their inaugural Hygge Podcast Residency!

Garrett Tichy is the owner and founder of Hygge Coworking in Charlotte, NC. Garrett's story is one that is familiar to many entrepreneurs: unsatisfied with a comfortable, yet ultimately unfulfilling full time job, Garrett set out on his own to take his future into his own hands. After several years as a manager at Gamestop, Garrett knew that a career change was inevitable. The first step was to get a computer programming degree, which he did at the top of his class. Soon after finding a job in the industry, he decided to take ownership of his work by co-founding Ready at 7, a boutique marketing firm. Not long after that, Garrett made another pivot into the emerging world of coworking. Garrett bought out the co-working studio that Ready at 7 was based out of and turned it into Hygge Coworking. Since founding in 2015, Hygge has expanded to three locations in the Charlotte area, and boasts over 100 full time members. In this episode, Garrett talks about making the transition from full-time employment to small business ownership, the value of social capital, and the benefits of having a CPA take care of the financial footwork.

Heads up, Buzz City, we've got Episode 12 of the Date Night with Jake and Page podcast coming at you! In this show you'll hear from Charlotte Hornets in-game hosts Jacinda and Derrick "Fly Ty" Jacobs! Wellllllp, we've met our match. Good grief, Jacinda and Fly Ty can HUSTLE. The Hornets gig is just one part of their looooong list of jobs, appearances, hosting opps, emcee gigs, etc., etc. Hearing how they balance everything should be required listening for any couple with two working spouses. Add in three sons from Ty's previous marriage and a book launch for Jacinda, and, well, yeah. Insanity. We caught them just before the launch of Jacinda's book, "Uniquely Qualified", on Nov. 9 (pick up a copy on Amazon!), so the timing was great. Jacinda touched on various pieces from her book, ranging from her troubled background to how she's now able to use her platform on TV, the radio and through events to help spread her message of living life to the fullest. Ty was right there by her side, hyping her book like a pro. They truly are #relationshipgoals. We can't thank Fly Ty and Jacinda enough for joining us on this episode, and as always, big thanks to Garrett Tichy, Hygge and Richard Brooke for having us as a member of their inaugural Hygge Podcast Residency!

Pull up a seat at the bar for Episode 11 of the Date Night with Jake and Page podcast, where each month we double-date over mics and drinks with a prominent Queen City couple. In this episode you'll hear from Bob Peters, Creative Director of the Bar Program for The Punch Room in the Ritz-Carlton in Charlotte, and his wife, Jena Burgin-Peters, Owner of JBP Entertainment! (Oh, and their daughter too!) Bob got Jake to drink bourbon. We can probably just start and end this podcast description there. Yeah, he's THAT good. In all seriousness, if you live in or around the QC - or really the world at this point - and you like a good cocktail, you have either been to The Punch Room, heard of The Punch Room, or The Punch Room is on your Charlotte Bucket List. Bob is a genius behind the bar, and he's built a global following around his concoctions. While you may already know about Bob, you SHOULD know about Jena as well. You've got to hear some of the stories she tells in this episode. Jena has a storied career in showbiz, and she's continued it through to today as the owner and operator of JBP Entertainment, a performing arts studio and entertainment production office in uptown Charlotte. Bob and Jena are a unique, eclectic, dynamic duo to say the least, and between The Punch Room and JBP, they're helping to fuel a thriving arts and entertainment scene in the Queen City. This episode is definitely not one to miss!

Welcome to Episode 10 of the Date Night with Jake and Page podcast, where each month we double-date over mics and drinks with a prominent Queen City couple. In this episode you'll hear from Mayor of Charlotte Jennifer Roberts and her husband Manley! Any time you can talk about Charlotte's past, present and future with a sitting mayor while sharing local craft beer with her and her husband, you jump at the opportunity. We got to do just that with Manley and Mayor Roberts (which we probably should have called her; all night we went with Jennifer...whoops!), who shared her political career path over our hour together. Within the first minute you'll hear just how amazing Jennifer and Manley are, and you'll also hear how much they love to dance. Seriously, we met them on a dance floor. They SHUT DOWN Cam Newton's charity gala, and then immediately kicked off this podcast talking about how they danced in college...and later when they dated...and on and on. Good grief, we loved them. While we try not to talk too much shop on our show - the point is to get to know the guests off the court/outside of work - Mayor Roberts was gracious enough to open up about her roller coaster two years in office, as well as her recent surprise defeat in the Democratic mayoral primary. It was truly a fascinating look into the personal lives of a couple currently going through ups, downs, surprises and turmoil, all in one. You know, like the rest of us.

It's Episode 9 of the Date Night with Jake & Page podcast, where each month we double-date over mics and drinks with a prominent Queen City couple. In this episode you'll hear from Chef Alyssa and Andrew Wilen! If you live in Charlotte there's a 98% chance you've been to Chef Alyssa's Kitchen in South End. First dates, corporate retreats, you name it, the Kitchen is an awesome spot, and it's run by one of Charlotte's favorite couples. Andrew (@andrewwilen) and Alyssa (@alyssacooks, @chefalyssaclt) talk about how they met, how they hatched the idea for their business, and they offered up a little teaser for listeners on what they're up to next. Listen to find out more!

Annnnnd we're back with another episode of the Date Night with Jake & Page podcast, where each month we double-date over mics and drinks with a prominent Queen City couple. In this episode you'll hear from Jonathan Stewart and Natalie Hills! There's a decent chance you've heard of Jonathan Stewart (@jonathanstewar1). Dude is a beast. Star running back for the Carolina Panthers. Renaissance Man. He's into music, art, touchdowns, the Queen City, and...being a dad. His fiance Natalie, we agreed, is pretty much his perfect match. Also known as "Kaia's Plug" (their baby Kaia is four months old and pretty much the cutest thing EVER), Natalie is into A LOT (@nataliehills, @octoqc, @natandstew, whew), with food, faith, family, and friends taking top billing. She, too, is a Renaissance Woman of sorts. If you're looking for Panthers gossip, look elsewhere. This was a solid hour of a killer couple getting in there and giving you a peak of their personal life. Ever want to know what it's like to have a 4-month-old with one spouse heading off to training camp? You've come to the right place.

This is Episode 7 of the Date Night with Jake & Page podcast, where each month we double-date over mics and drinks with a prominent Queen City couple. In this episode you hear from Matt and Sarah Olin! Matt (@mattolincreative) is everywhere in Charlotte these days, but he's probably best known for his work as the host/organizer of CreativeMornings Charlotte and the Queen City Quiz Show. His wife, Sarah (@lusciousmother), meanwhile, is essentially the most interesting woman in the world as a former/current actor, bartender, life/business/mom coach and yogi. Together, the duo is dynamic as it gets. I wish I could say that we kept recording after the episode wrapped, because we stayed in the studio for another hour laughing and telling stories. Charlotteans, if you haven't made it to a CreativeMornings, DO IT. Moms, if you need a motivator in your life, look up Luscious Mother. Neither will disappoint.

Welcome to Episode 6 of the Date Night with Jake & Page podcast! Each month we bring you a new episode where we double-date over mics and drinks with a prominent Queen City couple. In this episode you hear from Scott and Shannon Wooten of 704 Shop! Scott is one of the co-founders of 704 Shop, and you've been living under a rock if you're a Charlotte resident and aren't familiar with their products, Their iconic "704" ambigram logo is everywhere these days, and their limited-run merchandise around the Panthers' 2015-16 Super Bowl run really put them on the map. As for Shannon, aside from being Page's hair-crush (which is apparently a thing), she can be found opening up on her Instagram page (@infertilitysucksyoudont) - and on this episode - about the couple's struggle with infertility. We recorded this episode several weeks ago, and while we tried to pry it out of them then, Scott and Shannon managed to keep the news of the coming-soon, real-life, brick-and-mortar 704 Shop in South End under wraps. Fortunately for us, the official news dropped in Charlotte Agenda just before we pushed this episode live! Click here to read more: charlotteagenda.com/93230/704-shop-opening-permanent-location-south-end/. We can't thank Scott and Shannon enough for opening up to us on this episode. Between the raw, personal stories around their relationship and the start-up, entrepreneurial advice Scott shares from his 704 Shop experience, this is one podcast Queen City residents don't want to miss.

Welcome to Episode 5 of the Date Night with Jake & Page podcast! Each month we bring you a new episode where we double-date over mics and drinks with a prominent Queen City couple. In this episode you hear from Penn and Kim Holderness of The Holderness Family! Penn and Kim - 1/2 of Team Holderni, along with Lola and Penn Charles - have built a passionate and growing following on YouTube and Facebook through their viral videos and parodies. Former on-air journalists, they left their careers to start a video production company, only to have a video Christmas card go viral, and the rest is history. We've known Penn and Kim for more than a decade, so there is plenty of goofing off (and freestyle rapping!), but we pressed them on the challenges they face as parents raising children in the spotlight and dealing all of the online haters and trolls. Yes, trolls. Once again, big thanks to Garrett Tichy, Hygge and Richard Brooke for having us as a member of their inaugural Hygge Podcast Residency!

Oh, and they were set to move to a new house only a couple of weeks after taping. As always, #babysittersforthewin. They talk about their favorite restaurants, hangout spots in the QC and much more.
