Ticket please!! Episode 3- the final interview in our series on COVID pivots from some of our newest joints to our most well loved Little Rock spots, and we are wrapping things up @ the Corner! This ADORABLE corner restaurant in downtown Little Rock is appropriately named and has the COOLEST start of a story. Tune in to hear how it's all turning out, despite ups, downs and well, corners ❤️

The Restaurant industry has been all shaken up by COVID-19 and we took the opportunity to speak with 3 local Restaurant owners from our Little Rock community who have faced it together, despite having totally different perspectives and handling of their spaces and their people through it all. Tune in to this week's FIRST of THREE episodes being aired during our COVID-19 Pivot Series: Restaurants in the Rock.

Welcome to the newest chapter of my crazy story. This time I am taking a chance on myself, a page out of the books of my guests - taking this risk means letting go of owning Bluebird Realty. It means doubling down on work that moves me, and fully exposing my vulnerability to ultimately decide what it is I want to do with my most valuable asset - my time. If you’re a married or divorced, a failure or a winner, a dad or a mama, a broker, in real estate, an entrepreneur, male or female but ESPECIALLY if you are a female, have been through a lot of ups and downs and have about 26 minutes for a good story, this one is for you.

Who will stand out and try something totally unprecedented in our city and how will we move forward in real estate, development, and more? Jimmy answers the tough questions with his honest opinion and truly gave me even more reason to respect what he has done in our community over all these years. Grab your coffee, Little Rock.

BLAST OFF!! With Yellow Rocket Concepts - this week on the Block Talk! I was so excited to meet up with Scott McGehee and Amber Brewer.

It isn't easy turning big dreams into realities- but that's just what Cliff and Susan Prowse have done in bringing the Yadaloo Arts & Music Festival to shores of our very own Arkansas River! Recipients of Arkansas' BEST New Festival in 2019, these two are ready to pack the park and fill up two stages this year at Yadaloo 2020. Tune in to hear how it all came together and yes- I did ask where the cool name came from!!

Today I learned another amazing piece of Arkansas exists in our pre-k and prenatal to 5 year programs that are provided by our state. Jamie Ward of "Curricula Concepts" has a passion for equipping parents, childcare providers and educators alike with the information they need to care for Arkansas' children and children are clearly, our future! A little bias at present, this pregnant podcast host soaked up all the info I could and put Jamie on speed dial for postpartum resources I would have otherwise never known about!!
