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 a lunch break with Quay Hu, the owner of Qreate Coffee + Studios- a shared creative space with the most unique caffeinated creations. Qreate answers the question “Why isn’t there a place with premium roast blends, artisan coffee, and tea drinks that’s also a shared creative space/studio with blazing-fast Wi-Fi where I can chill and be inspired to create and collaborate with other people?
I visited Qreate Coffee in Orlando, FL, and sat down with Quay Hu and discussed how he got into photography and how he got into becoming an SCA Barista. We spoke about how he would go around town and take photos as a destresser of his high-level corporate role and how he became a professional commercial photographer. We also spoke about how he got so intrigued with coffee that he became a certified barista and how those 2 concepts led him to come up with the vision of creating a coffee and studio space in Orlando, FL.

I got to spend a long lunch break with Peter von Taborsky, creator, and host of Scotch & "good" Conversation podcast - a podcast about having a couple of drinks & getting to know people by asking smart people stupid questions. Peter started this project as an excuse to catch up with old friends, meet some new ones, and hopefully score some free bottles of Scotch in the process. His podcast has allowed him to speak with actors, directors, authors, his favorite musicians, to his fav teacher, his mom, friends, and ex-girlfriends.
I chatted with Peter about how he started and how he grew his podcast. How he used his small business as a sponsor and got more than just free bottles of scotch but some corporate sponsors at the same time. We spoke about how he comes up with his questions and the format of the show to how he gets his guests to ask him anything. We spoke about the work it takes to build an audience and be so consistent all these years. We chatted about guests sharing more once the mics turn off and the importance of sharing and supporting small businesses. We also spoke about him taking a break after 350+ straight episodes and him starting back up again after a few months off.

I got to spend a lunch break with Israel "Izzy" Erazo, co-owner of Phat Ash Bakes in Orlando, FL, a bakery slingin small-batch cookies from scratch. With lots of love. And a lil' bit of Jersey sass.
I spoke to Izzy about how his wife, Ashley started baking up cookies and brownies and how they came up with the concept. We spoke about how her employer at the time was her first customer and how a friend helped name it and push them to make it real. Izzy shared about their 200 flavors and how they started out as drop-offs in parking lots and customers ordering sliding into their DMs to now having a speakeasy and a website that ships worldwide. We discussed the success and the growth of their social and how they took a chance on themselves and their delicious baked goods and it more than paid off. We also may have talked about Taylor Ham Pork Roll sandwiches too.

I got to spend my lunch break with Steve Lewis of 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 Joshua and Jeanette Johnson of Wall Crawl, an indoor photo studio concept with 20+ photo walls allowing you to take photos yourself or with their professional photographers. The concept of Wall Crawl was realized when Joshua and Jeanette realized photography has changed dramatically in recent years, and yet the photo studio concept remains almost completely unchanged. Wall Crawl combines three different business models to solve common photography problems, and provides a photo studio experience of taking a tour of colorful walls and backdrops (a wall crawl) taking photos.
We discussed how the idea came about, the importance of doing your market research when introducing a new concept. How they try and balance it all and the important of customer feedback.

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.
