Welcome back to Proper True Yarn! Recorded LIVE at AlphaFest, this episode is packed with wild, hilarious and unbelievable crowd yarns. First up, Zak meets a drummer with one of the most cooked highway stories you'll ever hear, involving a dodgy Honda Accord and a very questionable driver. Then Chris shares an incredible survival story after being diagnosed with stage four Burkitt's lymphoma at just 15 years old. Given only 12 to 24 hours to live, he somehow pulled through, beat cancer and is now 25 years cancer free. We also hear a classic old-school motorbike yarn from Townie, before the Novocastrian Nuisance wraps things up with a parenting lesson gone horribly wrong involving hygiene advice, a young fella and a scourer. Funny, shocking, emotional and very Australian, this is AlphaFest Live at its finest.#propertrueyarn

Down the Bayou has announced when they're opening. Not THIS WEEK. Moffs Pizza wants to move into a brick-and-mortar building, and you can help! Angelino's Italian Restaurant in Siloam will be closing. We'll tell you when. Big anniversaries this week with Guess Who, Feed and Folly, and Handel's Ice Cream in Rogers. I've been following an Arkansas Pastry Chef who had a big week last week at a big competition! The Black Howler Beer Company Beer Chili Cookoff is this Saturday! Luke Wetzel and Mollie Mullis have been business partners for about a decade now, and the story of how they met is hilarious. It started with a job interview and a phone call – also, persistence paid off. When Luke decided that he wanted to open Oven and Tap, there was never a question about who would be a part of it with him. They both talk about the lessons learned when opening their first place. I've always wondered this about ice cream shops –how do they pick out their ice cream flavors for Superfine Sweets Shop? Finally, what led to Townie Burgers and what's next? We hear from Luke Wetzel and Mollie Mullis next, on this edition of the Flavors of Northwest Arkansas. Please like and subscribe! Available on YouTube and wherever you listen to podcasts!

Key Takeaways:Supporters engage for a reason, a season, or a lifetime, each bringing unique value. Instead of expecting long-term loyalty from everyone, recognize the natural ebb and flow. Gratitude for every contribution keeps the relationship healthy and grounded.Tourists, seasonal residents, and townies each play a meaningful role in the ecosystem. One-time donors bring energy, visibility, and new connections when they matter most. Long-term supporters reveal themselves through aligned values and deeper engagement.Lasting relationships grow through purpose, connection, and involvement beyond giving. Inviting donors into stories, conversations, or behind-the-scenes roles builds ownership. When people feel seen and included, loyalty naturally strengthens and expands.Not every donor will stay forever, and that is part of a healthy pipeline. Letting go with appreciation frees energy to invest in aligned relationships. Focusing on shared values ensures every interaction remains meaningful and mutual. “Our job is to give them meaningful experience while they're with us and release them with gratitude when they're ready to go.” “Every donor plays a role in your ecosystem. You know, tourists bring energy and visibility, townies bring depth and sustainability, and there's space in between them, where just the relationships involved.” “Relationship first, money will follow that. Build belonging, not just giving.” - Maryanne Dersch Let's Work Together to Amplify Your Leadership + Influence1.
