Today with Jim Davis-Johnson: Jim Davis-Johnson: Build a Luxury Window Treatment Business Without a Workroom Today with Jim Davis-Johnson of Jim Davis Designs, we get into what it takes to build and run a high-end luxury window treatment business. Jim shares how he grew his company from working in his mother's South Georgia business since seventh grade to running a multimillion-dollar brand serving high-end designers and discerning clients from Atlanta to the Caribbean, all without his own workroom. We talk about the non-negotiables of serving luxury clients: how to present yourself and your brand, how to build vendor relationships that maintain impeccable quality at scale, and how to price properly so you can say yes to every client request without resentment or burnout. Jim gets candid about the hard lessons he's learned along the way and shares why managing your own expectations is the key to running a profitable, sustainable business. If you've been wondering how to elevate your business, attract higher-caliber clients, or work successfully with production workrooms while maintaining custom-level quality, this conversation will give you a clear roadmap. More About Jim Davis-Johnson: Jim Davis-Johnson is the Principal Designer and Aesthetic Artist behind Jim Davis Designs, a luxury window-treatment and soft-goods atelier headquartered in Midtown Atlanta. Since founding the company in 2015, Jim has grown his firm from a one-man operation into a multimillion-dollar brand known for its bespoke craftsmanship, meticulous detail, and elevated client experience. His portfolio spans high-end residential, boutique hospitality, and commercial projects across the U.S., the Caribbean, and beyond, including ongoing work in Antigua and luxury communities throughout the Southeast. Jim brings a rare blend of artistic intuition, technical expertise, and personal depth to his work. Raised in South Georgia in a family dynamic that shaped both his resilience and his drive, Jim built his company from the ground up with no shortcuts, relying on determination, curiosity, and a vision for beauty that felt both healing and purposeful. His upbringing gave him an extraordinary sensitivity to how spaces make people feel, something that now guides every design decision he makes. Jim's spiritual growth, including transformative experiences with meditation and therapy, has influenced his belief that design is far more than aesthetics. For him, window treatments are an expression of intention: they soften emotions, shift energy, and elevate the way people engage with their homes. He approaches each project as an opportunity to bring clarity, harmony, and beauty into a client's life, grounding his creative process in mindfulness and the power of meaningful service. Now, since April 2025, based in a street-front Midtown Atlanta showroom with over 22,000 cars passing by daily, Jim leads a team alongside his husband and lead installer, Rickey Davis-Johnson. Together, they provide full-service fabrication, project management, and installation, with a reputation for delivering flawless results and building lasting relationships with designers, architects, builders, and homeowners. Jim's work is increasingly in demand, from Florida's coveted 30A corridor to mountain homes in North Georgia, Kentucky horse country, international island estates, and major metropolitan projects. His recent launch of a national quick-ship drapery program and growing e-commerce platform has positioned Jim Davis Designs as a leader not only in custom luxury fabrication, but also in accessible, ready-to-ship window fashions for design-forward clients nationwide. With a philosophy rooted in intention, authenticity, and the belief that design can be both luxurious and deeply meaningful, Jim continues to expand his influence as a designer, entrepreneur, and storyteller. His journey, from overcoming adversity to building a brand grounded in service, craftsmanship, and soul, reflects the heart of his work and the spirit he brings to every project.

Justice is more than a legal concept. It's something trial lawyers see play out in real time inside courtrooms across Georgia. In this episode of the See You In Court podcast, veteran trial lawyer and mediator Nick Moraitakis joins Robin Frazer Clark and Lester Tate for a fascinating conversation covering nearly 50 years in the practice of law. Nick shares stories from some of Georgia's most significant civil cases, including the Katherine Johnston shooting case, the Midtown Atlanta sinkhole disaster, aviation litigation, mediation strategy, and the importance of preserving the rule of law. This episode explores: The evolution of trial law and mediation How major civil cases shaped public policy and accountability Why jury trials still matter The pressures facing judges and the legal system today What “justice” really means in practice Nick also reflects on the responsibility lawyers have to protect fairness, equality, and the integrity of the courts in an increasingly polarized environment.

For years, when someone asked where to find the best French dip in Atlanta, the honest answer was Houston's. That changed when Ford Fry launched the French Dip at Bar Blanc in Midtown Atlanta. In this episode of the Retire Southern Podcast, James Lewis sits down with Ford Fry to explore how a simple sandwich became a ritual. From prime rib roasted overnight to dry aged beef infused au jus, from East Coast versus West Coast builds to bottomless beef tallow fries, this is not just a lunch special. It is intention on a plate. But the conversation moves beyond the sandwich. Fry reflects on leadership, responsibility, and what it means to build restaurants that change the lives of the people who work inside them. If you are searching for the best French dip in Atlanta or simply want to understand how ritual builds community, this episode is Life EQ 101. Listen now and experience the French Dip at Bar Blanc.

A parking lot collapse in Midtown Atlanta. A woman trapped in her car. A man swept through a sewer and found downstream. In this powerful short clip, Nick Moraitakis reflects on the human devastation of the 1993 Atlanta Marriott collapse and the moment he realized a major civil case was inevitable. This segment focuses on the people behind the headlines. Two immigrant families were left grieving, overwhelmed, and unsure where to turn. The full episode tells the complete story, including how the case unfolded, what it took to build it, and how accountability was ultimately achieved.

On the night of July 27, 2021, 40-year-old Katie Janness left her Midtown Atlanta apartment for a walk with her dog, Bowie. At around 11:30 p.m., she stopped by the restaurant where her partner was working. They spoke briefly, and Katie said she was heading home after finishing the walk. But less than two hours later, she was found brutally murdered inside Piedmont (peed-mont) Park, near the 10th Street entrance. She had been stabbed more than 50 times, mutilated, and left with letters carved into her body. There were no witnesses. No surveillance footage. And no clear motive. Four years later, Katie's case is still unsolved. And the question remains: who would do something like this and why? If you have any information in this case, please call the Atlanta Police Homicide Unit at 404-546-4235 or Crime Stoppers at 404-577-8477. There is a $10,000 reward available.  FULL AUTOPSY REPORT: https://static.fox5atlanta.com/www.fox5atlanta.com/content/uploads/2021/11/Katie-Janness-Autopsy.pdf Editor: James Coleman Research/Writing: Haley Gray SOCIAL Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/detperspective/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/detperspective FIND DERRICK HERE Twitter: https://twitter.com/DerrickL Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/DerrickLevasseur Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DerrickVLevasseur CRIME WEEKLY AND COFFEE Criminal Coffee Company: https://www.CriminalCoffeeCo.com Crime Weekly:  https://crimeweeklypodcast.com/shop ADS: 1. https://www.Smalls.com/DETECTIVE - Get 60% off your first Smalls order PLUS free shipping when you head to Smalls.com/DETECTIVE 2. https://www.trymiracle.com/DETECTIVE - Order today you can save over 40%.

Welcome in for another edition of the Morning Espresso from the SDH Network, brought to you by Oglethorpe University, Atlanta's premier undergraduate learning experience and soccer powerhouse.The Vancouver Whitecaps continue an epic 2025 with a 2-0 win in the first leg of the Concacaf Champions Cup over Inter Miami in front of a huge crowd at BC Place. Brian White and Sebastian Berhalter scored the goals for the Whitecaps. White has established himself in my opinion as the best option up top for the USMNT right now, while Berhalter is pushing hard for inclusion in the squad for this summer's Gold Cup. You can't count Miami out going back to Ft. Lauderdale, but they will need another huge 2nd leg performance at home in this competition to get to the final. In Orlando Saturday night, Atlanta United will look for the response that has been lacking at times in 2025 as they face the Lions. Neither team has scored in their last two matches, Orlando has had three straight 0-0 draws, we'll see if either can find their shooting boots for this one. Pregame coverage starts at 6pm on 92.9 The Game and the Audacy app with Abe Gordon and Madison Crews from our Colony Square studios in Midtown Atlanta, Mike Conti and I will take over from Orlando ahead of the 7:25pm kickoff. Evander will try to score in his fourth straight match for Cincinnati as they host Kansas City this weekend. Charlotte will try to keep pace with Cincinnati and win their 9th straight at home as they host New England. LAFC hosts St. Louis in Sunday Night Soccer, Denis Bouanga has scored in the last two matches for LAFC and even Olivier Giroud scored for LAFC last time out in that wild 3-3 draw with Portland. Andre Blake could join 8 other goalkeepers in the history of the league with his 80th shutout if he can achieve that against DC United on Saturday. World Sevens Football, a 7v7 women's competition that will see 8 teams compete for a $5 million prize pool in the first event next month in Portugal. Ajax, Manchester United, Benfica, and Bayern Munich will send teams to play in the event. Auckland FC could clinch the regular season title in the A-League this weekend with a draw, they would be the first New Zealand club to achieve that feat in Australia's top flight. Teams have won the regular season in their first season in the league, but no one has done the double with the Grand Final. Auckland FC will be trying to change that. The Copa Del Rey final is Saturday with Barcelona favored over Real Madrid. The rumors about Brazil's interest in Carlo Ancelotti continue to heat up, with Jorge Jesus seen as a clear second choice to the current but maybe not for long Real Madrid manager. FA Cup semifinals this weekend will see Nottingham Forest try to defeat Manchester City for the second time in as many months while Aston Villa tries to find some success at Wembley against a struggling Crystal Palace side. The finalists will be determined for the UEFA Women's Champions League this weekend as well. Barcelona have a three-goal cushion going to London to face Chelsea, trying to reach their 5th straight final as they go for the ThreePeat. Lyon's late winner in London in the first leg gives them the home advantage against Arsenal 2-1. More Espresso on Monday on the SDH Network, presented by Oglethorpe University.

Break 1: GCPS DISCOVERY   STORY 1: Bomb Threat at Aurora Theatre in Lawrenceville: What We Know Lawrenceville Police are probing a bomb threat at the Aurora Theatre on Sunday after an email was circulated to media, threatening the venue. Despite a comprehensive search by police and theater staff confirming the threat as false, investigations continue with assistance from the ATF and FBI to trace the origin. The motive is yet undetermined. As a safety measure, the theater's scheduled comedy show, "Greener Pastures," was canceled. The Aurora Theatre has thanked law enforcement for their rapid action and will inform patrons of any further schedule adjustments.

Break 2: TOM WAGES   ***STRIPERS REPORT***   STORY 4: Georgia Sees 10.5% Growth in Total Housing Units Over the Past Decade The United States grapples with a critical affordable housing shortage, underscored by a shortfall of millions of units. This predicament stems from a complex web of factors, including stringent regulations, escalating construction costs, and the enduring aftermath of the Great Recession. While regions like the Mountain West and Sun Belt have witnessed notable housing developments, areas such as West Virginia and parts of the Great Lakes region have experienced stagnation or negligible growth. Moreover, the pace of housing development does not always match up with demographic trends, posing affordability issues in certain locales. In Georgia, for instance, the number of housing units rose by 10.5% between 2012 and 2022, marginally exceeding population growth. However, this period also saw median home prices skyrocket by 157.7%. Tackling the housing shortage demands a multifaceted approach, focusing on policy reform, increased construction activity, and bolstering affordable housing initiatives. STORY 5: PrizePicks to locate new headquarters in Atlanta Governor Brian Kemp has officially announced that PrizePicks will establish its new headquarters in Atlanta, marking a significant $25 million investment and promising the creation of 1,000 jobs within the next seven years. Esteemed as a leading figure among North America's rapidly growing sports companies, PrizePicks has been lauded for its innovative approach and excellence in workplace culture. The new headquarters, occupying 33,000 square feet in the Star Metals Building at Midtown Atlanta, signifies a major boost to the city's innovation ecosystem. This strategic move underscores Georgia's burgeoning reputation as a technology and innovation hub, supported by a skilled workforce and robust infrastructure. The expansion of PrizePicks is poised to make a considerable economic contribution to Atlanta, reflecting the state's dedication to promoting technological innovation and employment opportunities.   We'll be back in a moment.   Break 3: CURIOSITY LAB BIKE RACE   And now here is your Guide mental health minute. ***GUIDE MENTAL HEALTH MINUTE*** STORY 6: GA to distribute $638M settlement through grant program to combat deadly opioid epidemic Georgia is set to launch a grant program to allocate $638 million received from opioid settlement funds, dedicating $479 million to grants and distributing the remaining $159 million among Atlanta and its major counties. The grant application process begins next Monday, accompanied by workshops designed to guide applicants through the submission procedure. The state's strategy emphasizes a meticulous and impactful response to the opioid epidemic, prioritizing areas such as medication-assisted treatment, prevention initiatives, and recovery support services. Sheriff Gary Sisk has underscored the critical nature of the drug crisis and the imperative for a sincere commitment to recovery efforts. This program advocates for transparency and seeks to integrate insights from those with firsthand experience of addiction, underlining the value of their perspectives in the fight against substance abuse. STORY 7: Virtual reality sessions could help cancer patients lessen pain: study A recent study published by the American Cancer Society reveals that ten-minute sessions of virtual reality therapy can significantly alleviate pain in cancer patients, with effects persisting beyond the duration of the session. This innovative approach has demonstrated superior efficacy in pain reduction compared to traditional distraction methods, such as using an iPad. The research involved 128 adult cancer patients suffering from moderate to severe pain, who were randomly assigned to either VR or iPad therapy sessions. Findings highlighted a more pronounced decrease in pain levels among participants in the VR group, with the relief extending up to 24 hours post-session. The study advocates for further investigation into the application of VR therapy across various outpatient contexts and for different manifestations of cancer-related pain, underscoring its potential as a non-pharmacological option for managing discomfort in cancer patients.   We'll have final thoughts after this.   Break 4: INGLES 4 Signoff – Thanks again for hanging out with us on today's Gwinnett Daily Post podcast.
