John Tosco – Tosco Music Party

John Tosco – Tosco Music Party

A Tosco Music Party show has been equated with walking into an ice cream shop and getting a spoonful of everything. In other words, if you love live music, you’re sure to find something that suits your tastes here. John Tosco has been bringing together all kinds of people and all sorts of music for 30 years! He’s our guest on the BrandBuilders Podcast with The Dunstan Group!

Tony Santoro – Enderly Coffee

Tony Santoro – Enderly Coffee

People first. Coffee, always. For Tony Santoro and Enderly Coffee, that’s not just marketing speak. It’s how he runs his business and treats the folks around him. Enderly Coffee has an incredibly down-to-earth and downright hilarious backstory. (Think: roasting coffee beans in your popcorn popper.) But the brand’s connection to its namesake neighborhood is undeniably real. That story is on this episode of The BrandBuilders Podcast with The Dunstan Group.

Rob Butcher – Swim Across America

Rob Butcher – Swim Across America

Charlotte is host and home to some pretty well-known cancer-fighting fundraisers — like 24 Hours of Booty, the Isabella Santos 5K, Pink to Drink, and others. But few attract Olympians alongside the locals like Swim Across America, and that’s far from its only success story. The event returns to the Lake Norman YMCA for the 2nd year this fall. Swim Across America’s Rob Butcher is our guest on The BrandBuilders Podcast with The Dunstan Group.

Laureen Jenkins – Project Outpour

Laureen Jenkins – Project Outpour

Living on the streets is a reality most of us will thankfully never know. Charlotte’s homeless go largely uncounted, and often unrecognized. One woman has an idea to help them live with a little more dignity — a shower. A mobile shower trailer, to be more specific. Laureen Jenkins is here with Project Outpour, an idea to help Charlotte’s homeless neighbors in a very simple way. She’s our guest here on the BrandBuilders Podcast.

Steve Gruendel – Kinetic Heights

Steve Gruendel – Kinetic Heights

Steve Gruendel and Wilbur Long got the crazy idea to make an indoor ropes challenge course and then some — think “American Ninja Warrior.” And Kinetic Heights was born. The southeast Charlotte center has been booming since opening day. Steve joins us on the BrandBuilders Podcast to tell us how a busy lawyer with kids finds time to be a kid again and build a business that’s all about fun and fitness.
