I got to spend a lunch break with my friend Kerry Gretchen Love, a poet, novelist, teacher, and wanderer. She was the little girl who used to write stories for fun and read books under her covers with a flashlight, long after bedtime.
Besides writing 3 books (2 poetry, and 1 novel). She does graphic art, as well as, mixed media art, and is a tarot card reader.
I spoke to Kerry about what led her to put out her poetry and how difficult it must be to put out things that are personal to her. We also spoke about how she and her best friend, Jill Houston, wrote
I loved how Kerry and Jill made up their own genre for their novel By Chance- calling it Eroticom (Erotic Romcom).
Was great reconnecting with Kerry and listening to her talk about the doubt, fear, and anxiety we feel when trying to do something and put ourselves out there. I also enjoy how she reminds her students and us on social to Admire the view on our journey.

I got to spend my lunch break with Steve Lewisof Gideon's Bakehouse,A small local bakery creating big things. On a quest for the perfect Chocolate Chip Cookie for himself, 15 years and thousands of tests later, his work was complete. Their cookie isn't just a product. It is a history, the sweet and the salty, the thrill of a first kiss, and the solitude of a heartbreak. In October 2016, Gideon’s opened up its first physical shop at the beautiful East End Market, Central Florida’s original food hall, with one employee and an $800 budget. Within weeks of opening, their little 286 square foot bakery was being called Best Cookies in Orlando, Florida, the United States, and the Planet Earth from publications ranging from New York Times to The Boston Globe, Sports Illustrated, Delish.com and countless more. Their growth and popularity has lead to their new flagship store opening June 2020 in Disney Springs.
I spoke to Steve about how he came up with his cookie 20+ hr cookie recipe and how his cookies became close to 1/2 lb in weight. When he knew this was what he wanted to do. How even with all his growth he has remained consistent & staying true to the original process, cutting no corners, and still putting every handmade detail into the 20 hours required to prepare a single almost half pound Cookie or a tall slice of Cake. I asked Steve what advise he would offer someone starting and already in business. As well as, what his new location at Disney Springs has allowed him to expand his brand and Gideon's Universe.

I got to spend my lunch break with the 2 of the 3 owners of The Gnarly Barley and GB's Bottle Shop; Joey Morris and Zach Scray (someone had to work so Trace was working). The Gnarly Barleyis a craft beer and sandwich shop that offers hot sammis and other stuff too. GB's Bottle Shop& Tasting Baris exactly that a craft beer bottle shop with a growler bar that has 20 rotating taps to enjoy and if that doesn't hit the spot- open their one of their fridges for a cold one of your liking to enjoy. Best part you can buy a 6-pack of the beer you enjoyed to take home.
I spoke to the guys on how exactly they started Gnarly Barley, as well as, what made them decide to open a craft beer bottle shop across town.
We discussed running 2 different businesses across town from each other- Lessons learned when starting. Taking risks and opportunities and learning even if it doesn't work out; Learning to grow and expand their business as well as taking a chance on yourself. Great guys and I am excited for their newest opportunity where they decided to move The Gnarly Barley to a larger and closer location to GB's Bottle Shop now just a football throw away.

I got to spend my lunch break with Grant Tharp, of Grant's Vintage Shop,vintage collectibles, decor, and clothing. He also created and hosts 2 evening night markets: TPD Thursdays and 407 Flea
I spoke to Grant about how he got into vintage and became a vintage purveyor and started his own vintage shop. As well as, what led him to create and host 2 night markets.
We discussed what he thinks it takes to be successful in business as well as some of the interesting finds he's found from doing estate and garage sales. It was a fun conversation with him as well talking about another love of mine- UCF football and how Orlando is growing and has some great businesses and makers.
