SummaryIn this engaging episode of Startup Junkies, hosts Daniel Koonce and Jeff Amerine welcome Catelyn Hooser, the dynamic founder and owner of Chug NWA—a Farmington-based soda shop that's stirring up the beverage scene in Northwest Arkansas. From the get-go, Catelyn's entrepreneurial spirit shines through as she shares the story of how she transformed a mobile soda trailer into a bustling brick-and-mortar storefront. With a background as a hairstylist and a drive to do something different, Catelyn jumped into small business ownership inspired by her father's example and a desire to carve a unique path. Chug NWA's menu, full of inventive soda recipes developed by Catelyn and her team, sets it apart from chain competitors like Sonic and Swig. The Cowboy (Dr. Pepper, vanilla, and homemade coconut cream) is a local favorite, alongside “guy-favorite” combos like the Float Trip (root beer, butterscotch, and vanilla).Listeners will love hearing about the challenges and rewards of running both a storefront and a mobile drink truck—from serving teacher appreciation events to handling equipment stress and expanding the menu with soft pretzels to boost revenue.Additionally, Catelyn opens up about balancing entrepreneurship and motherhood, the importance of instilling confidence and skills in her young team, and her long-term vision of expanding—perhaps with her daughter's help someday. Her advice to herself and other entrepreneurs? “You only grow when you're uncomfortable—keep grinding and never give up.” For anyone inspired by grassroots business and community, this episode is a must-listen!Show Notes(00:00) Introduction(01:08) About Chug NWA(05:35) Challenges vs Opportunities with a Mobile Truck(08:42) Promoting Efficiency and Speed in Production(11:50) Chug NWA Expansion Plans(15:20) Combating Uncertainty with Optimism(17:03) Embracing Discomfort to Grow(17:31) Closing ThoughtsLinksDaniel KoonceJeff AmerineStartup JunkieStartup Junkie YouTubeCatelyn HooserChug NWA

About the Show:“We're building the 2060, 2070, & 2080 versions of Northwest Arkansas right now. These structures are going to determine how our kids—maybe even our grandkids—live day-to-day. Now is the time to get this right.” – Duke McLarty, GroundworkThis episode of I Am Northwest Arkansas® dives straight into one of our region's most urgent challenges: housing affordability. Host Randy Wilburn sits down with Duke McLarty, Executive Director of Groundwork at the Northwest Arkansas Council, to explore how a booming population, rising prices, and limited housing stock are reshaping the way we live, work, and connect in NWA.From breaking down eye-opening statistics—like Benton County home prices being up 72.5% over the last five years—to unpacking the “GROW” framework and real-world policy shifts, this conversation is an open, honest look at what it takes to keep Northwest Arkansas both an economic powerhouse and a welcoming home for all. Whether you're a lifelong local, a new arrival, or simply curious about the forces shaping our towns and neighborhoods, you'll walk away informed and inspired to be part of the solution.If you care about NWA's future, tune in for perspective, actionable ideas, and real ways to get involved. After all, the choices we make today will determine our region's character for decades to come.Key Takeaways:Housing Costs Are Rising Fast: Home and rent prices in Northwest Arkansas have soared over the past five years, creating a new reality for families, workers, and businesses.It's a Regional—and National—Challenge: NWA isn't alone in facing housing shortages, but its rapid growth means local action is critical while there's still time to shape outcomes.Groundwork's “GROW” Framework Points the Way: By guiding zoning, removing barriers, organizing partnerships, and welcoming advocacy, stakeholders can build more—and more affordable—housing in the places we need it most.Your Voice Matters: Change starts locally, whether you're showing up at a city council meeting, filling out a survey, or simply sharing your story—everyone has a stake and a say.The Power of Partnership: Sustainable solutions will require collaboration between municipalities, businesses, state leaders, and everyday residents, using creativity and foresight to protect what makes NWA special.All this and more on this episode of the I Am Northwest Arkansas podcast.Important Links and Mentions on the Show*Guest: Duke McLarty, Executive Director of Groundwork at the Northwest Arkansas CouncilWebsite: https://groundworknwa.org/Take the Housing Survey: https://groundworknwa.org/surveyLearn about the GROW Policy Agenda: https://groundworknwa.org/growOrganization: Northwest Arkansas CouncilLife Works Here!: https://nwacouncil.org/Sponsor and regional leadership on housing, economic growth, and quality of lifeRelated Mentions:ULI NWA (Urban Land Institute Northwest Arkansas)Montana “ADU” Housing LegislationBig Emma Springdale (CDNWA), NWA Land TrustTune in to KUAF 91.3 FM to listen to the I Am Northwest Arkansas® podcast on Ozarks at Large every Tuesday at 12 Noon and 7 PM CST.

On today's Daily Puck Drop, Jason “Puck” Puckett is joined by Jim Moore, the Go-2-Guy, Rob Staton from SeahawksDraftBlog.com and our MLB Insider Ryan Divish. Puck and Jim start off the show laughing at the offensive surge from Jorge Polanco and the Mariners. It just continues, My Oh My! Jim's wife Kathy crashes the party and Puck wonders why isn't she doing the podcast over Jim! Puck and Jim also dive into the Cougars home football schedule and TV partners and times announced, plus they discuss Bill Belichick's book tour and his psychotic young girlfriend, Tyrese Haliburton's dad running onto the court to confront Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Atlanta Falcons fining their defensive coordinator for his sons prank on Sheduer Sanders. Rob Staton, SeahawksDraftblog.com, joins Puck to wrap up the NFL draft and loves what the Seahawks did over the course of three days. They chat about Grey Zabel's impact, Jalen Milroe's role on the team, the athleticism of the class, and how every pick just made sense for Seattle. Rob heaps a lot of praise at John Schneider and Mike Macdonald. Ryan Divish and Puck discussed the incredible start to the season for Jorge Polanco and the Mariners offense and try to make sense of what they have done. The simple answer is that they don't have any answers for what is going on, but rather they are just sitting back and enjoying the wave of offense. The injuries continue to mount for Seattle with now Dylan Moore and Luke Raley going to the IL. How long will Logan Gilbert be out for and is George Kirby getting closer to coming back? The bullpen needs help and help is on its way with Matt Brash. What's going on with Bryce Miller? It feels like Miller will eventually make a visit to the IL as well. Lastly, Puck and Divish wrap up talking NWA wrestling and their love affair with Dusty Rhodes. Puck wraps up the show with, “Hey, What the Puck!?” The Mariners offensive surge is awesome, but the starting pitching is starting to worry Puck.

Welcome back to Wrestling Tonight for Episode 122. Every week we're here breaking down everything happening across WWE, AEW, NJPW, TNA, and the rest of the wrestling world — the real stories, the real moves, and why they matter. This week, we start with The Rock, who has been making serious noise behind the scenes after WrestleMania 41. After stepping away from the Cody Rhodes and John Cena storyline at the last minute, The Rock is back in the spotlight — not just for creative decisions, but for a public clash with Busted Open's Dave LaGreca. We'll dig into what's really going on, how much influence The Rock actually has right now, and whether we're seeing the start of a bigger shift inside WWE. The returns didn't stop there either. Aleister Black made his long-awaited comeback on SmackDown, bringing back that dark, dangerous edge. Meanwhile over on Raw, Rusev returned in a big way. We'll break down what both of these returns could mean for WWE's summer plans, and where they might slot into the bigger picture. It wasn't all celebration though. Charlotte Flair had some strong words after the WrestleMania Roast crossed a few lines, and you can feel the real tension just under the surface. We'll talk about why this isn't just about bad jokes — it's about respect, the locker room atmosphere, and how things backstage might be a little more unsettled than they seem. In NXT, Noam Dar continues building a quietly historic resume. He's now the only four-time Heritage Cup Champion, and at a time when consistency is rare, Dar's steady presence is starting to stand out even more. We'll take a look at why this win matters, and why it might be signaling bigger things for NXT moving forward. Meanwhile, TNA Rebellion is shaping up to be one of the biggest cards of their modern era. Joe Hendry defends the World Title against Ethan Page and Frankie Kazarian. Masha Slamovich puts the Knockouts Championship on the line against a returning Tessa Blanchard. Ultimate X is back for the X-Division Title. The Hardys defend the Tag Titles against the Nemeth brothers. And Mustafa Ali vs Mike Santana in a Falls Count Anywhere match could end up stealing the show. We'll go match-by-match and get you ready for a night that could reshape the TNA landscape. And across the border, the battle for Mexico's wrestling future is heating up. AEW made the first move, announcing their upcoming Arena México show with CMLL — a historic partnership that immediately turned heads. Now WWE is responding in a big way, fast-tracking their plans following the acquisition of AAA and setting up their own events to plant a flag in the region. This isn't just about who can sell tickets — it's about who controls the narrative and future of lucha libre going forward. Finally, we'll close tonight by paying tribute to the late Steve "Mongo" McMichael. Mongo was one of a kind — NFL champion, Horseman, commentator, and larger-than-life personality inside and outside the ring. We'll share a few stories and a few laughs, and raise a glass to a guy who always gave the fans everything he had. Stick around — big moves, real emotion, and a lot to get into tonight on Wrestling Tonight. Grab a drink, pull up a chair — let's talk some wrestling.
SummaryIn this engaging episode of Startup Junkies, hosts Caleb Talley and Daniel Koonce sit down with Eric Howerton, serial entrepreneur, co-founder of White Spider, and currently the co-founder of AdFury.ai. The conversation dives into Eric's journey as an entrepreneur, his approach to solving niche problems in the retail media and advertising space, and the importance of relentless purpose over simple profit-seeking.Eric introduces AdFury.ai, a new SaaS platform that leverages artificial intelligence to automate the creation of highly relevant display and video ads for retailers and agencies. He explains how, while sponsored search advertising is well established, display and video ad creation remains painfully manual, limiting its reach and effectiveness. AdFury automates the process, allowing agencies and brands to quickly scale and personalize creative assets based on keywords, thus increasing efficiency and relevancy for both advertisers and end customers.The episode goes beyond technical discussion, with Eric sharing hard-earned wisdom about what it takes to succeed as a founder. He emphasizes emotional intelligence, resilience, and having a clear sense of purpose, warning that entrepreneurship isn't for the faint of heart or those simply chasing a lifestyle or wealth. Instead, it's about being deeply committed to solving real problems and being prepared to persevere through inevitable adversity. Eric's candid reflections and practical advice make this episode a meaningful listen for anyone considering, or currently navigating the entrepreneurial path.
