Confessions of a disc golf wife 🫠 But really - thank you Vince for coming on as a guest this week to talk about running a local brick and mortar retail store, and how engaging with your community translates to growth for your business 📈

Vince started working at Play It Again Sports - Greenville, NC 11 years ago and runs the location today. He’s seen tremendous growth and more people coning through the doors since his start, and he attributes it to community engagement and staying in tune with what his customers really want. Listen to the entire conversation out now on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, and Spotify 🎙️

And if you love disc golf - you’ll love our convo at the end about the growth of the sport, and how Vince took the concept of “record store day” and applied it to a niche sport. It went so well that people lined up at his store 5 hours before opening on the day of the event 🤯

What’s more American than whole hog BBQ in eastern NC? 🐖

This week on American Business Story with Taylor Walden, Taylor sits down with Michael Letchworth, co-owner of Sam Jones BBQ. Michael started at Skylight Inn at 16 as one of his first jobs in high school, worked the counter, washed dishes, and felt like it was just another restaurant job. At the time, he didn’t understand the history. He didn’t know how to cook a pig.

Then one night in 2013, sitting around a burn barrel at an event in Raleigh, something clicked. He realized Skylight wasn’t just another restaurant, i was something worth preserving. That realization led to a partnership with Samuel Jones, the opening of Sam Jones BBQ in 2015, and a crash course in opening a restaurant.

During our conversation, Michael walks through the 100 day work streak that nearly broke him, the moment he sat on his front porch during COVID with financials spread out wondering how long they could survive, and the consultant who told him to stop complaining and start leading. He talks about why throwing bodies at problems isn’t always the answer, and the loneliness that comes with leadership when you’re trying to hold it all together.

He also opens up about Fox Hollow Outdoors the lifestyle brand and content project he started with his eight year old son Larken, how a Yeti campaign turned into a TV show, and why he’s learning that highly produced content isn’t always what connects with people.

Michael’s story is encouraging, raw, real, and a reminder that success doesn’t mean you have all the answers. It just means you kept going when everyone else quit.

Shop Talk with Radiate Prints is now American Business Story with Taylor Walden⚡️ Powered by Radiate Prints

When I started a podcast a year ago, I didn’t know where it would go or who it would impact. In fact, we chose our first guest knowing that if the whole thing was a flop, he wouldn’t be upset if we never even released it

Now here we are a year later, and Shop Talk with Radiate Prints has released 53 episodes interviewing entrepreneurs and business leaders from across North Carolina

We’ve had startups, billion dollar brands, influencers, mom and pop shops, restaurants - but they all have one thing in common: they are living proof that the American Dream is alive and well

The American Dream is defined as being able to find success in the United States through hard work alone. More than half of Americans believe the American Dream is dead, but my guests beg to differ

Every Wednesday, hear from an American business owner about what it’s really like to grow and run a business. Business books and theory are helpful, but nothing beats mentorship and lived experience

American Business Story with Taylor Walden is everything I needed (and still need) to hear as an entrepreneur building businesses myself

The first episode with our new look drops Wednesday on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and YouTube. See you there 🎙️ (same spot as Shop Talk if you’re already subscribed 😉)

Carissa thought she was buying a successful boxing gym franchise. Instead, she walked into a business model built on selling memberships to people the gym hoped would never show up. Within weeks of her taking over, 30% of the membership base canceled, grandparents were calling to report stolen credit cards, and she realized the entire operation was designed to choose money over people’s actual health.

This week on Shop Talk with Radiate Prints, Taylor Walden sits down with Carissa Schmidt Chappell , owner of Rebel Fitness , to talk about what it’s really like to take over a struggling franchise, survive COVID while being told to “stick to the playbook,” and make the terrifying decision to walk away and build something completely different. Carissa shares the moment she smashed the gym scales and went weight neutral (despite being told it was “business suicide”), why she caps her membership to go deeper with fewer people instead of wider with thousands, and how her own history with eating disorders and mental health shaped the way she runs her gym today.

During our conversation, she walks through the franchise nightmare, the legal battle that left her signless for over a year, the unsolicited advice from male gym owners in town, and why she believes weight is the most evil genius metric the fitness industry ever sold us. She also gets real about cortisol, GLP-1s, the psychology of gym contracts, and why she forces her mom to lift twice a week.

Tag someone in the comments who you can always count on to tell you the truth 😬

This week on Shop Talk with Radiate Prints I’m talking to Gus Roberson of Cap Co Financial about how he built a $10M insurance agency, why acquisition is a path for companies to grow, and why companies refusing to evolve with technology isn’t just being old fashioned - it could be the end of their business.
