This blog post distills the main themes and actionable advice from the episode, diving deep into the nuances of restoration, emergency preparedness, insurance, and the power of community involvement. Whether you're a Grayslake local or simply looking to safeguard your home, these expert tips will help you prepare for the unexpected and build stronger community ties. Table of Contents The McMahon Services Story: From Window Washing to Restoration Experts Tip 1: The Critical Importance of Rapid Response in Emergencies Tip 2: Why Homeowners Should Call Restoration Pros Before Insurance Tip 3: Proactive Home Maintenance to Prevent Disasters Tip 4: Understanding and Optimizing Your Insurance Coverage Tip 5: The Value of Community Involvement and Local Connections Tip 6: Empathy and Support During Times of Crisis Final Thoughts: Building Resilience and Community Spirit The McMahon Services Story: From Window Washing to Restoration Experts McMahon Services' journey began with Tom's grandfather, a Chicago fireman, who started the business by washing windows. Over the years, the company evolved—thanks in part to a pivotal connection with a local insurance agent—into a full-service restoration provider. Today, McMahon Services offers: Water damage restoration Fire and smoke cleanup Mold remediation Biohazard cleanup General cleaning and home improvement services With a staff of over 30 employees and a decade of service in Grayslake and Hainesville, McMahon Services is a testament to the power of adaptability, family values, and community engagement. Tip 1: The Critical Importance of Rapid Response in Emergencies Key Insight: In restoration, time is everything. The sooner professionals arrive, the better the outcome. Why It Matters: Water damage can escalate quickly, leading to mold growth and structural issues within hours. Fast action minimizes damage, reduces costs, and increases the likelihood of salvaging personal property. Actionable Advice: Choose a local provider:** McMahon Services' local ownership allows them to be on-site within an hour, a crucial advantage over larger, less nimble companies. Have emergency contacts ready:** Store the number of a trusted restoration company in your phone and on your fridge. Don't wait for insurance approval:** Immediate mitigation is often required by insurance policies and can prevent claim denials due to “neglect.” Expert Tip: Even if the water seems minor, hidden moisture can cause major problems. Professionals use specialized equipment to detect and dry out unseen water in walls and floors. Tip 2: Why Homeowners Should Call Restoration Pros Before Insurance Key Insight: Restoration experts can help you assess the situation and guide you on whether to file a claim. Why It Matters: Not all water or fire damage is covered by standard policies. Filing unnecessary claims can raise your premiums or result in denied coverage. Actionable Advice: Call restoration first:** Let professionals assess the damage and provide a ballpark estimate. Understand your policy:** Many homeowners are unaware of exclusions (e.g., sump pump failures, sewer backups). Get documentation:** Restoration companies can provide detailed reports and photos to support your claim if needed. Expert Tip: Ask your restoration provider to walk you through the insurance process—they often know what adjusters look for and can help you avoid common pitfalls. Tip 3: Proactive Home Maintenance to Prevent Disasters Key Insight: Many emergencies are preventable with regular maintenance and a little foresight. Why It Matters: Simple oversights, like not detaching hoses in winter, can lead to burst pipes and costly repairs. Sump pump failures are a leading cause of basement flooding. Actionable Advice: Winterize your home:** Detach hoses and shut off exterior hose bibs before freezing temperatures hit. Test your sump pump:** Pour water into the pit to ensure it activates. Consider a battery backup system for power outages. Inspect plumbing and appliances:** Regularly check for leaks, corrosion, and wear. Document your property:** Take photos of valuables and home improvements for insurance purposes. Expert Tip: Schedule seasonal maintenance reminders on your calendar. Prevention is always cheaper than restoration. Tip 4: Understanding and Optimizing Your Insurance Coverage Key Insight: Many homeowners are underinsured or lack the right endorsements for common disasters. Why It Matters: Rising home values and new building codes can leave you under-protected. Not all policies cover basement backups, sump pump failures, or detached structures. Actionable Advice: Review your policy annually:** Meet with your insurance agent to discuss changes in your home or coverage needs. Ask about endorsements:** Ensure you have coverage for water backup, mold, and other common risks. Update for renovations:** Any home improvement or addition should be reported to your insurer. Expert Tip: Keep a digital and physical copy of your policy and inventory list in a safe, accessible place. Tip 5: The Value of Community Involvement and Local Connections Key Insight: Being active in the community builds trust and ensures help is close at hand when disaster strikes. Why It Matters: Local businesses are more invested in the well-being of their neighbors. Community events foster relationships that can be invaluable in times of need. Actionable Advice: Support local businesses:** They're more likely to go the extra mile for their customers. Get involved:** Attend or volunteer at local events, parades, and clean-up days. Network:** Join local chambers of commerce or neighborhood groups to stay informed and connected. Expert Tip: Familiar faces in the community are more approachable during emergencies. Don't hesitate to reach out to those you've met at local events. Tip 6: Empathy and Support During Times of Crisis Key Insight: Restoration is about more than repairs—it's about helping people through some of their toughest moments. Why It Matters: Disasters are emotionally taxing; a compassionate approach makes a world of difference. Empathy builds lasting relationships and trust. Actionable Advice: Choose companies that care:** Look for service providers who emphasize empathy and support. Lean on your community:** Don't be afraid to ask for help or offer it to others in need. Practice kindness:** Small gestures—like checking on a neighbor after a storm—strengthen community bonds. Expert Tip: Restoration professionals often have resources and advice for coping with loss. Don't hesitate to ask for guidance beyond the technical repairs. Final Thoughts: Building Resilience and Community Spirit The story of McMahon Services is a reminder that resilience is built on preparation, relationships, and a willingness to help others. By taking proactive steps—maintaining your home, understanding your insurance, and connecting with your community—you can weather life's storms with greater confidence. Remember: Quick action saves property and peace of mind. The right insurance coverage is your safety net. Community is your greatest resource in times of need.

Welcome to COVID-19 Episode 12 of the Florida Beer Podcast, powered by Floridabeerblog.com. We are going around the state to speak to brewers and others in the industry to see how the quarantine has affected them and what they are doing to survive in this temporary new normal. Not only are we dealing with the current quarantine, but there is also a tremendous wave of social change and activism spurred on by recent tragic events. But are businesses reacting to those events out of interest in the movement, or out of a sense of requirement? Khris Johnson, co-owner and head brewer of Green Bench Brewing in St. Pete posed that very question recently, and was kind enough to join us on the show to discuss this, reaching out to St. Pete's overlooked communities, weathering the quarantine storm, and slowly reopening.

Our communities are going through a VERY difficult time right now. So, I'm going to talk to you a bit about being black, and it's going to be uncomfortable. The fact that the subject of being black is even an uncomfortable topic is the EXACT reason why you need to listen. It's the exact reason why I need to talk. So, yes, this is going to be uncomfortable. And, that is the point. It can no longer be uncomfortable for only US. We need EVERYONE to have this conversation. In this first discussion of what may need to be many, I'll share some of my own experiences, discuss "The Talk," and touch on the police brutality that has spurred the Black Lives Matter movement. And, then, I'll leave you with some homework and advice on how--in particular white people--can help the cause. Listen in...

The current pandemic quarantine has hit the hospitality industry pretty hard, but there have been a number of organizations that have come forward to create benefits to help affected workers. Two such programs come from Florida International University's Chaplin School of Hospitality and Tourism Management.

Welcome to COVID-19 Episode 11 of the Florida Beer Podcast, powered by Floridabeerblog.com. We are going around the state to speak to brewers and others in the industry to see how the quarantine has affected them and what they are doing to survive in this temporary new normal. When preparing for a recent episode of the Sunshine State Happy Hour, we were approached by Jacksonville brewery Main and Six, who wanted to chat a bit about beers in the Bold New City of the South. So, of course, we had to bring them in! Owner and brewer Dennis Espinosa joins us for today's episode to chat about their expansion and the difficulties they face as they prepare to open.

You'll hear some frank post-recording conversation of our candid thoughts between my Finding Florida co-host, Glenn, and I caught on our mics about how we are feeling with everything going on. Then, Glenn joins me officially as a guest to circle back around to how we plan for now and for the future. Glenn took charge of his business goals and processes VERY early, not only pivoting how they approached their clients and sponsors, but, more impressively becoming a leader for the entire equine industry. He has become "Corona Glenn," keeping listeners and the entire community regularly updated on how Coronavirus specifically impacts their lifestyles and industry's economy. He is a true example of being a strong leader and just taking action when faced with the unexpected. In particular, if you are in a position of leadership and/or are a business owner, you'll find his perspective very insightful. Things with Coronavirus are moving so fast. But, this show's platform will keep us all connected, sharing people's experiences as in-the-moment as possible. Listen in...

Pensacola is starting to dig its claws in as another exploding hotspot of Florida craft beer. One reason is Perfect Plain, the craft brewery nestled deep in Pensacola's downtown. Their owner, D.C. Reeves, sat down to speak to us about how they are changing their business model to suit the quarantine, plus take out options and their relationship with other breweries in the City of Five Flags. We also spoke to him about his work as a Pensacola small business incubator and some of the difficulties he sees all small businesses in the area going through.

It is no secret that my family and I are big fans of St. Augustine, and watching their rebirth as a neat little craft beer hub in Florida has been amazing. Leading that charge is the largest brewery in our nation's oldest city, Ancient City Brewing. We sat with co-owner Greg Tuttle to understand the fate of their distribution networks, two taprooms, and how this tourism-dependent community is faring.

She is a 22-year-old college student who figured out a way for her family farm business to thrive during the coronavirus shutdown. Palm Beach County's East Coast Farms & Vegetables had to do something fast. Within a week of the pandemic hitting south Florida, the Lantana distributor's sales went to zero. East Coast Farms and Vegetables partners with farmers to sell fruits and vegetables to companies like Sysco and Cheney Brothers, which supply the restaurants and stores all over Florida. That's when the owners' 22-year-old daughter Katelyn Garcia had an idea. And the company went into action--offering up boxes of fresh fruits and veggies for just $10 to anyone who can come pick it up. Hear how Katelyn's idea is now turning East Coast Farms and Vegetables into a household name in Palm Beach County!

Former two-time boxing heavyweight champion of the world, Shannon Briggs, joins the show today. He's had 60 wins, 6 draws, and just 1 loss over his career with 53 KOs. After moving to Florida about 20 years ago, Mr. Briggs lives near Miami in Pembroke Pines and will be debuting (as soon as all of this is over) in his first bare-knuckle fight. We chat about why he is shifting toward tackling a new division of fighting and how he's adjusting his training in the age of coronavirus--especially in light of his particular health concern. Then, we'll get into how he's used the ring to overcome the many difficulties in his past and how he's looking toward the future and training others. Plus, he shares the story of getting roped into filming Bad Boys II with Will Smith in the mean streets of Miami.   Things with Coronavirus are moving so fast.

I'll introduce you to my friend, Andrew Carey, who will share his firsthand account of struggling through and then surviving coronavirus. After spending a few days in the hospital, Andrew took to Facebook Live to tell his story and then graciously agreed to share it here as well. He discusses his varying stages of symptoms, barely making it to the hospital, and his road to recovery. Think the first sign and symptom of COVID-19 is a fever? Well, Andrew's story will cause you to rethink that. AND his experience will answer as many questions as it opens up. Then, if you're getting into video games while in quarantine, he shares his PS4 ID at the end, so you can hang out with him virtually after listening! Listen in...

As we are now in our first week of our Coronavirus-induced quarantine, breweries around the state have felt a significant impact on their current and future business. To get an understanding as to what is going on, we called Mike Harting, current President of the Florida Brewers Guild. In this conversation, we check in to see how Florida's breweries and brewpubs are doing with the current economic situation and what Mike has done at his own brewery in St. Pete. And, as the co-owner of 3 Daughters Brewing in St. Petersburg, Mike shares how COVID-19 is affecting his own business. Listen in...

She was looking for a charity that didn't require much of her time. Tandy Robinson was a working mom, but still wanted to impact her community. She joined a non-profit in Indian River County that allowed her to pool her money with other women and show up once a year to vote on where their money would be spent. It was called Impact 100. And they had nothing like it in Palm Beach County, so Robinson decided to start one. Impact 100 Palm Beach County has now grown to more than 500 women who have given away millions of dollars to local charities over the past several years. Listen to why Tandy Robinson is one of the most dynamic People of Palm Beach...

Welcome to another episode of the Florida Beer Podcast, as we prepare for another festival! This time it's the renown FemAle Brew Fest on March 21st. This one is notable as it only allows breweries with female ownership or female staff on the brewing team. Much to my delight, this festival has been growing in size for the past few years, and is now going to be held at the brand new Dania Point. We spoke to festival organizer Frances Antonio-Martineau about the history of the event and what to expect. We then spend most of our time in the delightful Vero Beach at the mettled and storied Walking Tree Brewery. I've written about them before, and it's funny to see how things have grown there. Literally, as the mangrove tree I saw on my initial visit is much, much larger now. I sat down with Co-founder and head brewer Mike Malone and his wife, Creative Director Brooke Malone to talk about the history of Walking Tree so far, craft beer in Vero Beach, and an awesome collaboration they just did with their local newspaper. Remember, leave us a nice 5-star review if you're on Apple Podcasts. If you're not, you can still like us, subscribe, and tell your friends! Listen in...

Many people join school clubs to put it on their resume. That's great and all, but there is much more to student clubs than just being able to say that you were an active member of the "Young Investors Club" on your resume. There's networking... I go over how school clubs are the easiest way to "infiltrate" and practice your networking skills with people who are your age and who you're probably more comfortable talking to compared to a senior executive at a company.

She was born in Jamaica and moved to Palm Beach County with her single mom when she was 9. She was painfully shy and had a hard time learning. She found track and field in high school and immediately loved the sport and her coach. Antoinette Wilks qualified for the Olympic trials twice, but a devastating injury after college ended her Olympic hopes. She says it's the best thing that ever happened to her, because it put her on a path to finding her true passion. In this episode of People of Palm Beach, Wilks talks about her new career as a track and field coach at Keiser College, her charity and the learning disability that still brings her to tears.

Episode 37 is a big one, and we are all over the place today. We start in Tampa, West Tampa to be specific, at the relatively new Bay Cannon Brewing. It's the first brewery in a section of the city still relatively untouched by craft beer, and I discussed that pionnering with Adrienne Juaire, Marketing Manager and Joanna Reilly-Brown, Event Manager (on top of their day jobs, being moms, and kinda being incredible at everything they do). We discussed everything from creating the brand, to finding the location, to the beers on tap. From there, we head across the state and the I-4 corridor to downtown Melbourne and Hell 'n Blazes Brewing. They set up shop years ago in a wonderful old 120+ year building and have a fnatiastic lineup of foods and taps. Setting up shop in their bank vault bonus room (and listening to plenty of footsteps from overhead), we spoke to brewmaster Todd Furbeck and head chef Drew Campbell about the history of their location, craft beer on the Space Coast, and food pairing events. There are a lot of great episodes coming up, so subscribe to us today! We are found everywhere quality podcasts are found, plus on social media at floridabeerblog. if you can, rate us 5 stars and help us reach out to more people! Listen in...

A conversation on common scams and fraud, and how you can sign up to receive alerts from @aarpfraudwatchnetwork and @azagoutreach.

Twelve years ago, new mom Leslie Nifoussi was alone in the New Jersey Shore surf shop she owned with her husband when, out of nowhere, a customer went on a violent rampage - attacking her with a rock and throwing her into a glass display case. She fought back and survived, but that moment changed how she looked at herself. Nifoussi and her family now live in Jupiter, Florida where she has a thriving career as a commercial model and spokesperson. Even though it's been more than a decade since that attack, she has just gotten comfortable enough to talk about that traumatic event, the crippling anxiety that followed and the pivotal moment that changed how she viewed that day and herself. Listen to why Leslie Nifoussi is one of the strongest People of Palm Beach...

I'll introduce you to a mother from Tampa, Tonia Root, who faced tragedy head-on and is now sharing the story of what happened to her little boy, Gage, in her new book. Then, my guest storyteller today is Rudy Jean-Bart, an American History and African-American History Professor at Broward College's South Campus. He's going to tell us all about one of Florida's lesser-known historical figures, James Jerome Johnson, a brown-skinned bootlegger who figured out how to work the systems to create his fortunes. And, if you listen all the way to the end, you'll get to hear how I relate to one of these Florida figures. Listen in...

This is going to be quite the busy episode of the Florida Beer Podcast, so hang in there... We start in Boca Raton, close to where the 2nd Annual Best of the Belgians Beer Fest is going to be held on Sat., Feb. 8th. This event celebrates Belgian and Belgian-style beers with a rather impressive list of breweries, domestic and direct from Belgium as well. It is put on by Boca Ballet Theatre and Barrel of Monks, and proceeds go to support the Ballet Theatre. To get some more info, we chat with Barrel of Monks co-owner and brewmaster Bill McFee to learn more about the festival, the beneficiary, and whether Westvleteren will appear. From there, we go across the state to Safety Harbor, to an interview I've been wanting to do for some time. It's the home of Crooked Thumb Brewing, rapidly growing and making big bounds in the Pinellas Co. and Tampa Bay beer scene. We chat with Travis Kruger, co-founder of Crooked Thumb, to learn a bit more about their expanding footprint, that name, and the kitties that run around the tap room. Listen in...
