About the Show:"It's a connector, but it's also kind of a mixer in that, you know, it stirs the pot a little bit and gets people… out of their daily routine and... build[s] social capital, which is often lacking in this day and age." – Regina BuonoFinding your people in a new place isn't always easy. Even if you've lived somewhere for years, making real connections as an adult can feel like a challenge. That's why Creative Mornings Fayetteville matters.In this episode, I sit down with Regina Buono, the organizer behind Creative Mornings Fayetteville, to talk about what it really takes to build community in Northwest Arkansas. Regina shares her journey from growing up here, moving to Austin, and eventually coming back—only to realize that the connections she was craving didn't exist yet. So she created them.We talk about how Creative Mornings, a global gathering for creatives and curious minds, found its home in Fayetteville and why it's become a monthly ritual for entrepreneurs, artists, newcomers, and longtime residents alike. These Friday morning meetups are where friendships start, collaborations happen, and people find their place in this region.Whether you're new to the Ozarks and looking to meet people, or you've been here your whole life and want to connect more with your community, this episode has real stories about what makes Northwest Arkansas the kind of place where people want to stay.Key Takeaways:Creative Mornings Fayetteville is a free monthly gathering designed to spark connection, collaboration, and creativity—everyone is welcome, no matter their background or field.Each event features a short talk, local music, and “espresso shot” community announcements that help people share opportunities or ask for help.The team works hard to make sure events are accessible, inclusive, and always have great food and coffee thanks to sponsors and supporters.Many people have found collaboration partners, close friends, and even the courage to try new things—like stand-up comedy—thanks to the welcoming environment.Anyone can get involved by attending, sharing their ideas, or even speaking at a future event tied to a global monthly theme.All this and more on this episode of the I Am Northwest Arkansas® podcast.Important Links and Mentions on the Show*Creative Mornings (Global): https://www.creativemornings.comCreative Mornings Fayetteville: Search “Fayetteville” on the Creative Mornings website to find details and register for the newsletter and events.Connect with Regina Buono on LinkedInConfident Coffee Roasters (Sponsor and Supporter)United Bank (Support and Team)Music Education Initiative (Music Partner)Pedal Park NWAThe Momentary (Bentonville venue partner)

We'll talk about the gifts that matter most—especially the ones we give our kids that can't be wrapped or returned—and how to walk into the holidays and a new year with hope, joy, and peace instead of pressure.If this year stretched you, surprised you, or shaped you in unexpected ways, this episode is for you.Sometimes gifts come in strange wrapping paper… and this year proved it.

I'm so thrilled to share today's episode with you because I brought on someone I deeply admire, my friend Akua Konadu, to teach a special guest training! This one was prepped during my maternity leave and I can't wait to share it with you. Akua hosts two incredible podcasts and is a gifted storytelling strategist, and she is truly one of the most natural interviewers I know. I knew she'd bring something impactful to you… and she absolutely delivers.In this training, Akua takes us behind the scenes of what actually makes an interview powerful. If you've ever worried about “winging it,” struggled to pull deeper stories out of guests, or wondered how to create conversations that stand out in a crowded podcast world, this episode will feel like such a breath of fresh air. She shares what it looks like to prep with intention without losing authenticity, how to lead interviews with curiosity instead of control, and simple mindset shifts that help you show up more confidently on the mic.One thing I love about Akua is how deeply she understands storytelling... not just as a concept, but as a real tool for connection and impact. You'll hear her talk about how to invite guests into meaningful moments, how to create flow that feels conversational instead of rigid, and how to gently steer a conversation so your listeners walk away with transformation, not just information. If you want your episodes to feel richer, more natural, and more memorable, this is such a treat.Links mentioned: Read the Shownotes: https://elizabethmccravy.com/327 Follow Akua on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/akuakonadu_Take Akua's storytelling quiz: https://akuakonadu.com/quizListen to Akua's Podcast: The Unbreakable Business Podcast hosted by Honeybook and Here's the Tea with AkuaSign up for Podcast Success Blueprint: https://elizabethmccravy.com/psb Take my Showit template quiz (and get free Canva templates!): https://elizabethmccravy.com/quiz Connect on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/elizabethmccravy/ Shop Showit templates: https://elizabethmccravy.com/shop Join me inside Booked Out Designer: https://elizabethmccravy.com/bod Over my 9 years of business, I have learned some financial skills the hard way and a few years ago, I developed an an 8 step process I go through at the end of each month.

In this episode, Molly sits down with Chris Vanderbilt, founder of One Step After, to discuss how his platform helps prevent a post-loss disaster by helping families manage the emotional and logistical challenges that follow a loved one's passing. After losing both of his parents, Chris saw how even well-prepared families struggle with the practical realities that follow a loss. His experience led to the creation of One Step After, a platform that bridges the gap between legal estate planning and the real-world tasks that come next. Key Takeaways: Use a clear, consistent interview process that focuses on values, skills, and long-term fit. One Step After connects legal estate planning with real-world after-loss management, covering the tasks often left out of the legal process. Families are encouraged to discuss estate plans early—beyond documents—to include personal wishes and meaningful details. The platform complements estate attorneys by offering clients practical, step-by-step guidance after a loss. Features like estate profiles and action roadmaps ensure families stay organized and supported through every step. Quote for the Show: "It's so important to have conversations about what happens after someone passes... not just about the documents, but about expectations and stories." - Chris Vanderbilt Connect with Chris: Website: https://onestepafter.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chrisvanderbilt/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61567561799302 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/onestepafter/ Links: Website: https://hiringandempowering.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/hiringandempowering Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hiringandempowering LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/hiring&empoweringsolutions/ The Law Firm Admin Bootcamp + Academy™ : https://www.lawfirmadminbootcamp.com/ Get Fix My Boss Book: https://amzn.to/3PCeEhk Ways to Tune In: Amazon Music - https://www.amazon.com/Hiring-and-Empowering-Solutions/dp/B08JJSLJ7N Apple Podcast - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/hiring-and-empowering-solutions/id1460184599 Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/3oIfsDDnEDDkcumTCygHDH Stitcher - https://www.stitcher.com/show/hiring-and-empowering-solutions YouTube - https://youtu.be/cx0TS9AGRRY
