In this episode of the ROCC Pod, we sit down with Christine Scott from Paul Scott Plumbing to talk about her journey in the plumbing industry, the importance of clean water, and the value of careers in the trades. Christine shares how she transitioned from the car business to plumbing after meeting her husband, Paul, and how she eventually became a licensed journeyman and contractor to help run the family business. After Paul's passing in 2016, she took over operations, continuing the legacy with the help of her two sons, who are now licensed master plumbers.We discuss the growing demand for skilled tradespeople and how plumbing offers a rewarding career path without the burden of student loan debt. Christine emphasizes the need for both men and women in the trades and actively mentors young professionals. She also highlights the importance of maintaining clean and safe water, referencing the ongoing presence of lead water lines in communities and the impact of the Flint water crisis. She advises homeowners to install water filtration systems, not just for drinking water but for household use as well.Real estate plays a big role in plumbing concerns, and Lisa shares her experience with buyers who assume city water is always safe. Christine stresses the importance of sewer inspections before purchasing a home, as unexpected repairs can cost tens of thousands of dollars. She explains the value of sewer scopes, which Paul Scott Plumbing provides for $450, and preventative maintenance like hydro jetting to keep pipes clear.Beyond plumbing, Christine shares her love for scuba diving, describing her experiences exploring the underwater world, including a recent trip to Hawaii where she swam with manta rays. We wrap up with a lighthearted fishbowl question about fashion trends, where Christine reveals her appreciation for vintage 50s styles.Paul Scott Plumbing serves Oakland, Macomb, and parts of Wayne and Genesee counties, offering 24/7 emergency services.

Today on The ROCC Pod, we sit down with Kyle Vandeventer from the Royal Oak Sandlot League to talk about baseball, softball, and community engagement. Kyle shares how the league, which has been a staple in Royal Oak since 1959, continues to provide affordable, high-quality youth sports opportunities for kids aged 4 to 18. With roughly 1,000 athletes participating annually, the league is powered entirely by volunteers dedicated to fostering a love for the game.Kyle's journey into the league began when his then-four-year-old son wanted to play baseball. He initially signed up as an assistant coach, but after voicing concerns about areas that needed improvement, he was invited to step up and make changes himself. Four years later, he plays multiple roles, from coaching to managing registration, marketing, and social media.A major focus for the league is keeping costs low while maintaining a high-quality experience. Registration fees start at just $60 for tee-ball and cap at $160 for older players. Sponsorships and fundraising efforts help keep expenses manageable, ensuring that all kids, regardless of financial background, have a chance to play. Businesses can sponsor teams, with their logos featured on jerseys that kids wear around town, offering great local exposure.Beyond affordability, the league emphasizes three core principles: fun, safety, and learning. Starting kids as young as four allows them to develop fundamental skills and a love for the game early. The league also partners with the Royal Oak Leprechauns, giving players access to special events and games.Kyle also shares his background in the beer industry, where he spent 15 years before transitioning to financial planning. He reflects on how fatherhood has taught him patience and laughs about his self-proclaimed Olympic-level laundry skills.For those looking to get involved as sponsors, coaches, or volunteers, all information is available at royaloaksandlot.com. Registration for summer baseball is open until April 1, with late sign-ups accepted afterward. Practices start in late March or early April, with games running through July.We wrap up with a fun discussion about balancing work, family, and volunteer commitments, and, of course, some hopeful thoughts about the upcoming Detroit Tigers season.

Royal Oak, Michigan, is a vibrant city, with a bustling downtown and an even better nightlife, top-rated schools, and a strong sense of community, but just like most cities, it comes with its downsides and challenges. These are details you're going to want to make note of. When we think of Royal Oak, we think about the walkable downtown area, the nightlife when all the nearby cities are sleeping, the close knit living, the location and how it's beautifully situated right on the Woodward corridor and is close to all the wonderful cities and offerings in Metro Detroit that we all know and love, the nearby expressways, while being less than 15 miles from downtown Detroit. Outside of all that, what is there an actual NEED to know? Well, you need to know it all of course and everything in between, so let this video be your one stop shop for all things Royal Oak.

The Royal Oak Concert Band, established in the 1960s, continues to bring together volunteer musicians to perform a diverse repertoire, from classic marches to contemporary pieces. The Woodward Avenue Jazz Orchestra, a subset of the concert band, specializes in big band jazz, playing everything from Glenn Miller to more modern arrangements. Both groups emphasize the importance of community music and how it provides a creative outlet for people of all ages and backgrounds.We preview upcoming performances, including a concert themed "Color Your World," featuring music with color-inspired themes and a special collaboration with the Madrigal Chorale for their holiday concert.

Just in time for Thanksgiving, we are visiting with new Chamber member Jannie Teitelbaum from Great Lakes Pot Pies.She was semi-retired and was experimenting with healthy bars, when she brough a pie to a Women's event.  She was told "this should be your business." Jannie's business took off from there, with her pies gaining popularity at the Royal Oak Farmer's Market, which played a crucial role in expanding her customer base and necessitating more staff and kitchen time.We touch complexities of entering the food business, particularly the legal aspects. Jannie credits the MSU Product Center for providing invaluable guidance and resources, likening it to having a private consultant. This support was instrumental in navigating the challenges of starting and growing her business.Jannie's pie varieties have evolved over time, starting with large pies and expanding to personal sizes and hand pies. She caters to various dietary needs, including gluten-free and vegetarian options. Her most popular flavors include the classic chicken pot pie and, currently,  a unique Thanksgiving-themed pie, which you HAVE to hear her describe.We also talk about the pivotal moment of opening her storefront in Clawson. Jannie had outgrown her space in a commercial kitchen and decided to take the leap into establishing a physical store. This move was a significant step, supported by her steady sales and customer base.  And she had to do some math before taking the plunge!Jannie emphasizes the importance of seeking advice, doing thorough research, and being resilient in the face of skepticism. Listeners can find all flavors of Jannie's Great Lakes Pot Pies at her Clawson store, offering nationwide shipping. The chicken pot pie is what you'll find in local grocery stores' freezer sections, from Fresh Thyme to Meijer. More:Website:https://greatlakespotpies.com/Phone: 248-266-1160Address: 809 West 14 Mile Road, Clawson (Next to Chicken Shack and Barry's BagelsConnect with our hosts:Trish Carruth from The Personal Jeweler - https://www.thepersonaljeweler.com/Jon Gay from JAG in Detroit Podcasts - http://www.jagindetroit.com/Lisa Bibbee from Keller Williams - http://soldbylisab.com/

If you haven't heard of dog or pet massage, you're not alone.   Today's guest, Jill Valuet of Radiant Paws, hadn't heard of it either.  But in 2018, she needed a career change.   She looked inward to see what she was passionate about.  The answer: dogs. She found a program in Toledo that she could get certified in dog massage, and Radian Paws was born.  Today she explains what she does.   Yes, dog massage is very different - requiring a lighter touch than humans.  And of course, you have to earn their trust.  So her mindset when she walks into clients' homes is crucial. Jill practices Reiki, a touchless form of energy work that's also gaining popularity with humans.  For many canine clients, she'll use a combination of physical massage and Reiki.  She tells us a story about how she worked with a now-12 year old golden retriever that was having trouble walking due to a neurological condition.  Soon, she was romping around doggy day care like a puppy. Jill also shares her whimsical side with us - from concertgoing to cosplay and special effects makeup.   And for our fishbowl question of the day, we ask her which kind of dog she would be.  Her answer may surprise you. Jill lives in Ferndale and will travel to clients within a 20 minute radius.  If you live further away, you can go to her. Radiant Paws website: https://www.radiantpawspm.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/radiant_paws/ Connect with our hosts:Trish Carruth from The Personal Jeweler - https://www.thepersonaljeweler.com/Jon Gay from JAG in Detroit Podcasts - http://www.jagindetroit.com/Lisa Bibbee from Keller Williams - http://soldbylisab.com/ 

Today we get a look inside our newly rebranded Wednesday morning group, Network First.   This meeting is designed to be the antithesis of those structured networking groups.   There's no attendance requirement.  There's no need to find substitutes. There's no sign in sheet or tracking of one-on-one meetings. Come when you can, and get to know the people in the group.  The two Chamber members who run Network First join us today - Jill Plamper of Distinctive Framing and Michelle Rafalski from Gleba and Associates. The group meets at the Royal Oak Chamber, on the second and fourth Wednesdays of the month, from 7:30-8:30.  They try to alternate between having a speaker and a different discussion topic.   And that speaker may be relevant to something in the news - auto insurance or the financial markets, for example.   Membership to Network First is included in your membership to the Royal Oak Chamber of Commerce.  Or, if you're considering joining the Chamber, come to a Network First meeting and see how you like it. We spend some time at the end of the podcast getting to know Jill and Michelle a bit better.   And while NEITHER of the two leaders of an early morning networking group, it turns out we have some very strong feelings on chocolate. To learn more, reach out to:Jill:  Jill@distinctiveframing.comMichelle: Michelle@glebaandassociates.com Connect with our hosts:Trish Carruth from The Personal Jeweler - https://www.thepersonaljeweler.com/Jon Gay from JAG in Detroit Podcasts - http://www.jagindetroit.com/Lisa Bibbee from Keller Williams - http://soldbylisab.com/

CRAFT BEER PODCAST INFO: What started off as a dream to work in Aviation turned into the largest gift to the Metro Detroit craft beer community. Well before the craft beer boom happened in the 2000s, Ashley's job at a local grocer in Royal Oak Michigan showed what you can do with building relationships, gathering new product, and promoting not only local but breweries all across the country and world. Ashley's is so well known that local meadmaker B. Nektar actually made a mead dedicated to his commitment to the industry. What was next for Ashley? Start his own store and bar, with a focus on craft, import, and non-alcoholic products, which is where we are today with his store, Metropolitan Variety in Detroit, Michigan. Ashley breaks down his journey to his own place, the commitment to finding some of the best non-alcoholic products in the industry, and continues to improve his store and bar by creating mock-tails, updating his food menu, and constantly updating the store. This isn't your regular beer store, but one you should check out the next time you're in Detroit!

We kick off the new episode with a review from the infused preroll category. The product we review is Glorious Banana Kush ice-water hash-infused preroll. This was one of the solventless prerolls in the bag most were made with solvents. It was very flavorful to start off with and lasted through most of the joint which is surprising but shows that glorious was using good wax and flower for the smoke. Have you tried Glorious before? if so let us know what you think.We also go over Michigan-related news that is being affected by cannabis. Brighton Mi is looking into possibly opting in with cannabis licenses and shops in the city. Arts, Beats and Eats in Royal Oak Michigan is not allowing a cannabis smoking section at the event. Per the request of the Police Chief, he made a recommendation not to allow them to be at the event. A Detroit man was arrested by the feds for having a vending machine attached to his house dispensing cannabis and pills. They quoted in the article that he was making 2000 a day which equates to 1.2 million a year. He has been running the vending machine for a couple years now. A video on social media showed two people walking up to the house, putting money in picking their bud, and they walked away with buds. He was also found to have 18 guns at his house that was all hot and not registered with the State.  A lot of Michigan news regarding cannabis in the last week or two: let us know your thoughts on these topics in the chat!

(Spoiler: it's cheaper.)Andrea, Trish, and Lisa ask Jon about remote podcasting, and talk about how it's worked for this show.Finally, we learn a little bit about Jon personally.  He talks about his job, and the wanderlust for travel he and his wife share.  And our fishbowl question leads to a very interesting story about Mr. Gay in high school, involving his last name.Links:Samson Q2U Microphone Mentioned: https://amzn.to/3tVE3rFJon Gay from JAG in Detroit Podcasts - http://www.jagindetroit.com/Trish Carruth from The Personal Jeweler - https://www.thepersonaljeweler.com/Lisa Bibbee from Keller Williams - http://soldbylisab.com/Andrea Arndt of Dickinson Wright - https://www.dickinson-wright.com/Know a Chamber member that wants to be a guest on our show?

The world has been turned on its ear in the last two years.  And that's certainly true in the world of human resources.  Today's guest, Jill Berti, started Workery Consulting during the pandemic.  She provides outsourced HR solutions to small businesses in an ever-changing human resources landscape.Jill explains why company culture is so important.  It's not something you simply dictate  It starts with your very first hire. Also, are you hiring employees or contractors?  There are very specific legal rules around this, and you don't want to get in trouble with the IRS!The average cost of an employment lawsuit in the US is $200,000.  That's why you need an HR person, even a contracted one, to help solve problems before they escalate.Prior to COVID, employers were all about the perks - "Bagel Fridays," even one company that installed a two story slide!  But as Jill explains, that's not what employees are looking for in 2022.   They want good benefits, flexibility, and more.  Bagels on Fridays do not make up for a poor company culture.Finally, Jill explains the services she offers her clients, as well as the resources available on her website, https://www.workeryconsulting.com/Jon Gay from JAG in Detroit Podcasts - http://www.jagindetroit.com/Trish Carruth from The Personal Jeweler - https://www.thepersonaljeweler.com/Lisa Bibbee from Keller Williams - http://soldbylisab.com/Andrea Arndt of Dickinson Wright - https://www.dickinson-wright.com/Know a Chamber member that wants to be a guest on our show?

The Michigan World War II Legacy Memorial is actually the official state memorial, and it will live right here in Royal Oak, in Memorial Park.  Groundbreaking is scheduled for April 7th.Today, we are joined by Judy Maten from the project.  She explains how the idea was born out of the Michigan Honor Flight, used to bring World War II survivors to the national memorial in Washington, D.C. Fun fact: Former Royal Oak Chamber President Michael Gordon created the original design for this state-of-the-art, interactive memorial.The exhibit will be interactive for visitors of all ages, and showcase how World War II was not just fought by soldiers around the world.  It took all of us, from Rosie the Riveter to children picking milkweed - and how that helped our troops.Not only is the Memorial working closely with veterans organizations and but they are also working with educators across Michigan - to create lessons for kids that meet core curriculum standards.  It's important for all generations, present and future, to understand what happened 80 years ago. Judy does a great job of "walking us through" the Michigan World War II Legacy Memorial, and all its different interactive exhibits.  We also find out a little more about her.More info:Michigan World War II Legacy Memorial Website: https://michiganww2memorial.org/Jon Gay from JAG in Detroit Podcasts - http://www.jagindetroit.com/Trish Carruth from The Personal Jeweler - https://www.thepersonaljeweler.com/Lisa Bibbee from Keller Williams - http://soldbylisab.com/Andrea Arndt of Dickinson Wright - https://www.dickinson-wright.com/Know a Chamber member that wants to be a guest on our show?

Ken Aubuchon purchased the Namaste Yoga studio in Royal Oak right at the beginning of the pandemic.  While adapting to this new world was a new experience for him, the studio and yoga itself were not.  The previous owners of the oldest yoga studio in our community were mentors to him, and today, Ken walks us through the world of yoga.  He truly believes "you are your own guru."Yoga is available for beginners as well as more seasoned yogis, and can offer help with everything from injury recovery, overall relaxation, and even prenatal care (as Trish can attest!)  And while you may experience some discomfort as you re-engage muscles, you should never feel sharp pain.  The instructors at Namaste check in with their clients regularly.Finally, we ask Ken: If he could travel anywhere in the world, where would he go?  He tells us about a country that passed a lot making happiness more important than money.For more on Namaste Yoga, you can visit their website at https://namaste-yoga.net/Or call them at 248.399.YOGA (9642)Ken mentioned a book on the Yoga Sutras.  Here's a link: https://www.amazon.com/Yoga-Sutras-Patanjali-Sacred-Teachings/dp/0609609599/Jon Gay from JAG in Detroit Podcasts - http://www.jagindetroit.com/Trish Carruth from The Personal Jeweler - https://www.thepersonaljeweler.com/Lisa Bibbee from Keller Williams - http://soldbylisab.com/Andrea Arndt of Dickinson Wright - https://www.dickinson-wright.com/And if you'd like to know more about the Royal Oak Chamber of Commerce, or join, find them here:  https://www.royaloakchamber.com/

“More produce and less loneliness keep the heart doctor away.”Joel Kahn MDRecent years have seen the ascendency of low-carb, high fat diets. Indeed, the ketogenic lifestyle has been heralded as a veritable health panacea.In parallel, we bear witness to mainstream acceptance of the plant-based approach to vitality, lifestyle disease prevention and reversal.The debate pitting these distinct approaches to nutrition is as emotional as it is divisive — an impassioned war for hearts and minds waged across the scientific literature, mainstream publications and the internet that can leave even the most intelligent and well-intentioned consumer utterly baffled.So who's right?To help divine the line between truth and fiction, Joel Kahn, MD joins the podcast for his third appearance.Dr. Kahn is an Interpreventional Cardiologist, Clinical Professor of Medicine at Wayne State University School of Medicine, Founder of the Kahn Center for Cardiac Longevity in Michigan, and a Summa Cum Laude graduate of the University of Michigan’s prestigious Inteflex program (a 6-year undergraduate / graduate program that developed doctors fresh out of high school). He’s authored hundreds of articles on heart disease, is a frequent lecturer on heart disease and its prevention, has performed thousands of cardiac procedures, and is the owner of GreenSpace Café in Ferndale and Royal Oak Michigan.In addition, Dr. Kahn is the author of five books, including The Whole Heart Solution* and his newest offering, The Plant-Based Solution*.This a comprehensive and highly instructive conversation that endeavors to provide needed clarity when it comes to the aforementioned debate — a deep dive into the veracity of nutritional research findings to provide the information you need to promote maximum health, hinder lifestyle disease, and abet longevity.In addition, we explore emerging research on the benefits of intermittent fasting and why everyone should get a coronary calcium scan.Amazingly informative, this is straight talk from a trusted and experienced man I'm proud to call friend.As a final note, this podcast episode is also available in video format on YouTube.
