Chris Winn is a heck of a nice guy. He’s the kind of guy you want to kick back with a cold beer and get to know. So we were lucky to get to do just that. We found ourselves drawn to Chris not only as a friend, but also as someone we could learn a lot from in business. He’s creative and smart, has a great philosophy on caring for his team, and is no stranger to building things from the ground up. He’s a DIY kind of guy and one that won’t stop until he sees his dreams come to fruition. Chris co-founded Tradesman Brewing Co. with two other partners, Scott and Sara Gayle McConnell, and after just a few years, they are quadrupling (at least) their size. Their new space is opening very soon (like within the next couple of weeks) and is going to be amazing. And, well, their beer is just freakin’ good.

Eléa Faucheron and Adam Von Ins are quite the power couple and, as a result, know a thing or two about partnerships. Having been in one that went south all too quickly, they’ve learned the good, the bad, and the ugly parts of a partnership through the school of hard knocks. As many in similar positions can attest, they wouldn’t ever wish for that situation again, but they are grateful because they learned so much and are better people for having gone through it. They now are in a partnership together that sings like a beautiful song, as they build their amazing company, Move. Think. Smile. together. In this episode, we talk about everything partnerships – including things like how to find a good one, why you should even consider a partnership, how it’s similar to a marriage, and what are the red flags to pay attention to and avoid. Thanks for listening. We hope you enjoy the show!

Your Core Values will (or should) drive every decision, both personally and professionally. Join us in this lively discussion about how to create your values, and then how to be sure you’re living them every day.

Kelly and Tony Chu are as dynamic a couple as they come. They are both witty, vibrant, incredibly hard workers, and as smart as the day is long. When around them, you quickly see that they are the yin to each other’s yang, and finish each other’s sentences well. This connection has been the catalyst that has helped them create three wildly successful organizations in Charleston – Red Orchids China Bistro, Cirsea Craft Ice Cream, and the newly opened Betty’s Eatery. We invite you into this lively conversation as we get to know a little about each of their upbringings, and the values that drive everything that they do.
