The key to growing your business isn't attracting more people, but attracting the right people. And the traditional "customer avatar" exercises aren't doing the trick anymore. Paul and Melissa Pruitt, the husband-and-wife team behind multiple seven-figure businesses, are flipping the script on traditional audience building. Instead of chasing vanity metrics and celebrating every email subscriber, they're showing entrepreneurs how to go deeper with fewer people who are actually willing to invest in solutions. Plus, we get into how to attract actual buyers to your summit and how to sell to them without feeling slimy. For show notes, head to https://summithosthangout.com/310

In the latest episode of the Nomad Futurist Podcast, co-hosts Nabeel Mahmood and Phillip Koblence sit down with Chris Pruitt, Senior Director of Data Center Operations at CoreSite, and a seasoned veteran of the digital infrastructure world whose personal journey offers a masterclass in resilience, curiosity, and transformation. Once a behind-the-scenes part of the tech ecosystem, data centers are now in the spotlight, sparking conversations in local communities and capturing public interest like never before. As Chris puts it: "Our worlds have officially collided with the rest of the outside world, more acutely, I think, in the last 12 months than in the previous 29 years.” Chris's story begins in Tennessee, marked by early manual labor, a detour in college, and a pivotal turn through the U.S. Navy. Instead of letting early setbacks define him, he turned them into stepping stones, propelled by strong mentorship and relentless drive. His advice to anyone finding their way in tech rings clear: “Look for a mentor. If you find something you're passionate about, a mentor can help guide you." And it's not just talk. Chris's career proves that failure isn't final, but rather often the foundation of future success: “Just because you failed doesn't mean you can't make it.” For newcomers curious about the industry, Chris offers one of the simplest — and most powerful — pieces of advice: ask questions. "If you want to ask [an industry veteran] something, they're more than happy to tell you all you want to know... That's the thing kids, you got to start asking. Start probing.” Whether you're a student, a career changer, or a technologist looking to deepen your impact, Chris Pruitt's story is a blueprint for building a meaningful career in digital infrastructure. His message is timeless: resilience, mentorship, curiosity, and openness are the keys to thriving in an industry that's evolving faster, and mattering more, than ever.

In this episode of It Happened To Me, we share a story of love, loss, and advocacy in the rare disease community. We are joined by Jordan Kruse, whose son, Pruitt, was born with ornithine transcarbamylase (OTC) deficiency, and Dr. Susan Berry, a geneticist at M Health Fairview and professor at the University of Minnesota Medical School, who specializes in rare metabolic disorders like OTC deficiency and helped Pruitt.  OTC deficiency is a rare urea cycle disorder (UCD) that prevents the body from properly removing ammonia from the blood. This dangerous buildup can cause severe complications, and in Pruitt's case, tragically ended his life at only six months old.  Through her grief, Jordan founded The Brave Little One Foundation, honoring Pruitt's legacy by supporting families facing medical hardship and raising awareness about rare genetic conditions. Together, she and Dr. Berry shed light on: What OTC deficiency is and how it affects the body Why newborn screening doesn't always catch the condition The role of geneticists and medications in diagnosing and managing OTC deficiency Jordan's experience advocating for Pruitt's care in a complex medical system The importance of foundations and rare disease organizations in offering resources and hope What families and healthcare providers need to know about navigating rare disease diagnoses Resources: The Brave Little One Foundation National Urea Cycle Disorders Foundation (NUCDF)  The Rare Diseases Clinical Research Network (RDCRN Consortia) The Future of Personalized Medicine is Here: Baby KJ received a first-of-its-kind personalized gene editing therapy at CHOP to treat his urea cycle disorder Ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency explained by MedlinePlus    Stay tuned for the next new episode of “It Happened To Me”!

9-9-25 Tonight we're talking with Kris and Karen Pruitt with Kold Prairie Mead in Elizabeth, Colorado. They opened their meadery in 2022 and have been out there kicking it! Kristopher Pruitt's journey into meadmaking began in 2017 with an initial desire to become a beekeeper. Within a short time, his curiosity led him to explore mead, and on Thanksgiving Day that year, he and his wife, Karen, brewed their first experimental batches. Those early efforts quickly earned recognition, beginning with the Mead Free or Die competition and eventually included two Mazer Cups, Best of Show at the Domras Cup, and multiple medals at the Mead Madness Cup in Poland, to name a few of their homebrew accomplishments. In 2022, the Pruitts founded Kold Prairie Mead in Elizabeth, Colorado. The meadery officially launched in 2025, with Kris stepping into the role full-time. Together, they also run 2BeeKPers, their small honey business. Both ventures reflect their shared passion for beekeeping, craftsmanship, and community engagement. Kold Prairie Mead has steadily grown its presence through festivals, tasting events, and partnerships with select liquor stores and brew pubs. Certified through both the MJP and BJCP programs, Kris has judged and competed in mead competitions across the U.S. and internationally, including serving as Best of Show judge for the 2023 Mead Madness Cup commercial division. Driven by a love for craftsmanship and community, Kris values the camaraderie of judging and the shared knowledge that connects meadmakers worldwide. When not immersed in mead, Kris and Karen enjoy traveling—whether discovering new experiences in Europe or exploring closer to home in their 5th-wheel camper—and caring for the bees, chickens, and cats on their property.

The Phenomenal Sasquatch is a comprehensive exploration of one of the most intriguing mysteries of modern times. Is the sasquatch an undiscovered animal or a product of the imagination? Author Matt Pruitt takes a multidisciplinary approach to this question, drawing on insights from biology, psychology, anthropology, and other fields. Examining the fossil record, indigenous knowledge, historical records, eyewitness accounts, and physical evidence, Pruitt takes the reader on a journey into the heart of the sasquatch phenomenon. He explores the possibility that sasquatches are simply large, rare primates, and delves into the psychological factors that may be at play during people's encounters with these creatures. Alternatively, he considers the hypothesis that the sasquatch is merely a construct of the human mind that exists only in stories and art. In this thought-provoking work, Pruitt presents a balanced and rigorous analysis, providing readers with an in-depth look into the search for the natural origins of this cultural icon. Whether you are a skeptic or a believer, The Phenomenal Sasquatch will challenge your assumptions and deepen your understanding of this enduring mystery.   Check out his book here: The Phenomenal Sasquatch: Seeking the Natural Origins of a Cultural Icon

In an effort to reinvigorate interest in the Space program, NASA launched the "Teacher in Space" program, in 1984. The beautiful, brilliant and charismatic high school social studies teacher, Christa McAuliffe, was selected out of 11,000 applicants and the country fell in love with the teacher and the space program once again. Tragically, a well-documented problem with the O-rings on the shuttle's solid rocket booster was compromised during the low temperature launch and one of NASA's biggest tragedies occurred, resulting in the deaths of all seven astronauts on board.
