I pledge allegiance to the flag of The United States Of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God, God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Oh, beautiful for spacious skies, for amber waves of rain, for purple mountain majesties, from sea to shining sea. America is back. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Welcome back to the program. We appreciate it. Well, we got a governor's race coming up, and one of the men that is officially announced that he is running for governor is attorney general Alan Wilson, and he joins us right now. Attorney general Wilson, how are you, sir? Man, I'm doing great trying to survive the heat Yes. Probably like all of your listeners are right now. So if you become governor of South Carolina, are you gonna do something about the heat? Is that gonna be a campaign promise? I was gonna try to move the sun back just a couple of million miles just to give it a few degrees, and I'm gonna work on that. Alright. So you announced this on on Monday, and, what was your thought process? Why did you want to run for governor of South Carolina? Well, first off, Charlie, let me start by saying I love South Carolina. I have loved serving as her attorney general for the last fourteen and a half years. This is something that I have been thinking about for many months. I've spoken with my family, prayed about it, came to the ultimate conclusion that I'm uniquely situated and qualified to be the next governor of South Carolina. As a twenty nine year combat veteran with experience in combat, as an attorney general who's commanded an office of 350 people, who has been on the national stage on high profile cases, very, very high profile cases, and has made very impactful decisions that affect this state as well as the lives of soldiers I've led. I feel like that I would make a great governor. You want a governor that is going to have a calm, steady hand on the wheel of the state, but at the same time, you want someone who's capable of bringing about true form and, reform and change without injecting chaos into our system, and I think I can do that. So you picked up some pretty big endorsements today. Right? Yes, sir. Yesterday morning in Charleston, I began with the Berkeley, Dorchester, and Charleston County sheriff. So on Monday, I received the endorsement of the Lexington County sheriff. Mhmm. And, today, I received the sheriff excuse me, the endorsement of the Greenville County sheriff, Hobart Lewis, who is a very dear friend and an amazing law enforcement leader, and I was honored to have his endorsement and support today. So let's let's take a look at at your governorship. What would you want to be known for? When it's all said and done, people say, Alan Wilson, he was the governor that that did this. What are your plans for the state of South Carolina? Well, my my priorities are gonna be basically this. We're gonna eliminate the state income tax. Three states in the Southeast have already done it. Another five states are working to do it. South Carolina cannot fall behind. And so eliminate the income tax would basically go a long way to my priority, basically promoting economic growth. Number two, I wanna doge South Carolina from the top to the bottom and back up again, meaning from school districts to local government, to county government, to state government. We need to be using state of the art AI platforms as well as a beefed up inspector general's office to inspect how money is being spent at all levels and whether bureaucrats and people embedded in government are spending money and applying the rules properly and not arbitrarily. And if they are, violating, if they are committing fraud, waste, and abuse, they need to be exposed and removed. And if they're doing it criminally, they need to be prosecuted. I also wanna reform education. I wanna expand access, to more children at an earlier age getting access to classes and courses that promote reading comprehension and math co ...

Today on Consuming the Craft, I'm celebrating the 10-year anniversary of the first graduating class from the Brewing, Distillation, and Fermentation program here at AB Tech. Joining me is John Lyda, a full-time faculty member, brewing industry veteran, and program cornerstone who's been instrumental in driving the evolution of our curriculum. Together, we reflect on how far the program has come—from its beer-centric roots to now embracing a diverse array of beverages like cider, seltzer, non-alcoholic options, wine, and even innovative creations like mushroom wine. We discuss the ever-changing demands of the craft beverage industry, the importance of flexibility and quality assurance, and the ways our program responds to students' varied backgrounds and aspirations, from international students to second-career professionals.

The Irish Government and IDA Ireland today welcomed IBM's announcement to create additional high-value jobs in the south-east of the country. The leading global technology company will, over the next three years, hire up to 75 software engineers, dedicated to research and development (R&D), based in Waterford. The roles will focus on cutting-edge innovation for IBM Z, the infrastructure powering 70% of global transactions by value. The Waterford software engineers will closely collaborate with IBM's R&D teams around the world, from designing processors and firmware to software development and advancing the Linux operating system. Peter Burke TD, Minister for Enterprise Tourism & Employment, said: "IBM's decision to expand its operations in Waterford with the creation of up to 75 highly-skilled software engineering roles is very welcome news. This investment is a strong endorsement of the South-East region's growing reputation as a hub for innovation and advanced technology. It also reflects the government's commitment to supporting regional development and fostering strong partnerships between industry and academia. I commend IBM for its continued confidence in Ireland and for its collaboration with the South-East Technological University to build a future-ready workforce." Jack Chambers TD, Minister for Public Expenditure & Reform, said: "I welcome this very positive development which underscores Ireland's attractiveness as a location for businesses to invest in and to expand R&D operations. This strengthens IBM's long-standing presence in Ireland where it employs thousands of people today. IBM has cited Ireland's strong talent pool as a key factor in allowing the company to grow here, which reflects the significant increased investment by the Government in education, and particularly our third-level sector, over recent years. We are committed to supporting research and development in our tech sector, including in the South-East of our country, to drive balanced, regional development and economic growth." In addition to the expansion of R&D functions in Waterford, IDA Ireland also welcomes IBM's decision to deepen its collaboration with the South East Technological University, to develop a technical skills ecosystem with a focus on mainframes and Linux. Nathan Cullen, country general manager, IBM Ireland, said: "I am delighted to see our footprint in Ireland evolve further. This is testimony to the deep talent pools available across the country, upon which we have steadily built our business, including mainframes which are a cornerstone of global transactions. IBM has now operated in Ireland for nearly 70 years and this milestone investment for the region also speaks volumes about the ecosystem that has built up around the South Eastern Technical University." IBM last year announced the recruitment of another 800 high-tech jobs in Ireland by 2027, cementing the country's position as a globally strategic location for the company. These new roles, spanning R&D, digital sales and Consulting operations, will be spread across Dublin, Cork and Waterford. Michael Lohan, IDA Ireland CEO, said: "This R&D investment announced by IBM is fantastic news for Waterford and indeed the South East Region. This investment is also closely aligned to Adapt Intelligently: A Strategy for Sustainable Growth and Innovation, 2025-29, where IDA has committed to positioning Ireland at the centre of cutting-edge global technological innovation in the next five years. I warmly welcome this decision by IBM and assure them of IDA's continued partnership."

The build-to-rent (BTR) sector is wildly successful throughout the Southeast, mainly due to its flexibility, pricing and amenities. While still a relatively new industry, its contribution to the housing market thus far makes it a popular choice for renters, home builders and residential developers. David Howard, chief executive officer with the National Rental Home Council (NRHC), joins Host Carol Morgan on the Atlanta Real Estate Forum Radio podcast to discuss the role of BTR communities in the Atlanta market. Why BTR? Instead of renting a two-bedroom apartment in the city, residents can select a rental with the perks of a traditional, new home community. Popular amenities at BTR communities include clubhouses, pools, dog parks, walking trails, playgrounds and sports courts. These rentals come in all shapes and sizes, from three- and four-bedroom single-family homes to stylish townhomes. “I think people love the flexibility,” shares Howard. “We call them renters by choice, because they're choosing to rent.” What factors impact the “renters by choice” mindset? Howard explains that many renters are not necessarily looking to downsize; often, it's their goal to “right-size.” They are moving to a home with just enough room for their lifestyle. Lawn maintenance is usually included, and onsite maintenance ensures that residents don't have to make repairs or even change lightbulbs, providing the low-maintenance lifestyle that renters seek. “This is not a one-size-fits-all opportunity for residents and families,” said Howard. “You see empty nesters, seniors, singles and families with young kids. You see families with older kids. It's really an interesting mix of residents in these communities.” Build-to-rent communities offer residents affordable housing in desirable locations. Families often move in to put their child in a highly rated school district, while empty nesters choose to rent because it gives them freedom to travel without worrying about the grass growing too high. Housing Statistics Historically, one-third of households rent, and the remaining two-thirds of households own their homes. Of course, this was easier for renters and homebuyers when homes were smaller and cost less. For example, in 1982, 40% of homes sold were starter homes at 1,400 square feet or less and the average home cost around $68,500. These homes don't exist today. From 2010 to 2020, Georgia's population increased by 1 million people, but during this time, the state only added 300,000 in housing stock. Impact of BTR Communities BTR development is still new, bringing a fresh perspective to for-rent construction and also some skeptics. Historically, there have been for-sale home communities and rental apartment complexes, but not much in between. BTR communities bridge that gap with expansive, single-family home communities like never before. Of course, there are always NIMBYs and from Howard's perspective, the best way to calm uncertainties is through education. Howard said, “We're spending a lot of time trying to educate the media, trying to educate policy makers, trying to educate residents about what build to rent is, what it has to offer, what the benefits are, and what its place is across the broader housing spectrum.” Recently, Georgia legislators launched an investigation into large, out-of-state corporations purchasing homes across the state. There is concern that it's affecting home ownership and limiting availability for individual buyers, but how much of that is true? Howard emphasizes that home ownership has grown in the last five years and that the biggest threat to home ownership is lack of supply. BTR communities positively impact the home market, just in a different sector than for-sale homes. Howard said, “We would much rather see policymakers focus on legislation that encourages new home building and makes it easier for people to invest in housing and develop new housing,

3rd party property management can be notoriously difficult and aggravating, but it can be successful if you manage it properly. To make it work, you need rigid processes, actionable metrics, and weekly meetings to hold property managers accountable. Chris Lento, Founder and CEO of EM Capital, has been successful managing properties in other states by finding great property managers that help him execute on his business plans. Chris acquires B Class multifamily properties across emerging markets in the Southeast. More recently, he's begun to focus on newer properties starting with an acquisition of a 2022 build property.

Raised in Jacksonville and spending time with family in Lake Okeechobee, her love for nature was shaped by family trips around Florida. Her childhood was deeply connected to water and land—where cattle ranches, the St. Johns River, and Florida's state parks sparked a lasting bond with the landscape and laid the foundation for a career dedicated to its restoration and protection. She walks Brett through her time as a biology major at Florida State University and how that led to a career in environmental science. The conversation explores her roles at the Florida Department of Environmental Protection and the South Florida Water Management District, where she helped lead early efforts in Everglades restoration. Now, as Executive Director of The Nature Conservancy's Southern U.S. Division, she oversees large-scale environmental strategy across 10 states. They also dive into projects close to her, like the Pensacola East Bay Oyster Project. Rich in personal insight and professional depth, this episode offers an intimate look at one of Florida's most respected environmental leaders—and what it takes to protect the state's natural future.

 In today's episode, I got to catch up with recent AB Tech graduate Ryan Schrader, who just completed a whirlwind tour of craft distilleries and breweries in Pennsylvania, all while helping out his 93-year-old grandfather. Ryan and I tasted through a plethora of bottles he brought back—including unique rye whiskies, innovative cask-finished bourbons, and a standout unaged apple brandy. Our conversation dove deep into Pennsylvania's rye revival, the craft spirit scene, and his own whiskey-making journey at AB Tech. We also looked ahead to his upcoming sensory adventure in Ireland, where Ryan plans to tour iconic distilleries and hunt down rare single malts (with oats, of course) to expand his already impressive palate. Ryan graduated from AB Tech in May 2025 with a passion for craft distillation, whiskey, and lifelong learning. Originally from Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, he brings a family history rich in whiskey lore, a home collection of rare decanters, and a keen curiosity about historic and emerging trends in the industry. His hands-on experience at AB Tech includes producing an Irish-style whiskey aged on maple wood—using homemade kiln-dried chunks from a tree in his own backyard. Ryan is always on the lookout for innovative flavors and is dedicated to exploring the global craft spirit community. “My love and passion for distillates has led me not only to become a lifelong learner and seek the associate's degree here at AB Tech, but also to find some pretty rare—well, pretty amazing—distilleries in Pennsylvania.” ~Ryan Schrader Today on Consuming the Craft:Pennsylvania is experiencing a craft spirits renaissance, particularly with rye whiskey, and features innovative distilleries such as Hidden Still Spirits (David E.), Stoll & Wolf, and Bluebird Distilling.Ryan discovered whiskey aged in unique casks, including those made from Umburana (a South American wood) and rum barrels, which added distinct cinnamon and sweet notes.Stoll & Wolf's unaged apple brandy at 107 proof was a standout for its creamy mouthfeel, delicate sweetness, and fresh apple aroma, despite being a clear spirit.Lancaster Brewing Company, with over 30 years of brewing experience, has recently added distilling to its repertoire, including a straight bourbon whiskey finished in its own Wee Heavy ale barrels.Many Pennsylvania craft distillers also provide top-notch food service, contributing to a full sensory experience.Ryan's capstone project involved crafting a traditional Irish whiskey with an innovative maple wood finish using kiln-dried, home-charred local maple.Upcoming plans for Ryan include a distillery-focused trip to Ireland, with visits to notable locations such as Middleton, Pierce Lyons (located in a historic church), and Kilbeggan, with a focus on tracking down oat-infused single malts, including Drumshanbo.The importance of glassware in tasting spirits was discussed, as different shapes bring out subtle variations in aroma and flavor.
