If you’ve been around Charlotte for a while, you probably know the name Kim Brattain. She was a news anchor for 16 years at WSOC, where she won multiple Emmy and Associated Press awards. Since leaving the news in 2008, she has owned her own media company, Kim Brattain Media, where she has done everything from corporate videos to sports to live events to documentaries that have appeared in film festivals from coast to coast. She’s here to share how she built it all.

We all know yoga is a great exercise for mind and body. Bridget Zapolnik and Emily Reindollar also see it as a way for special needs children to get all the benefits of this great exercise, when far fewer sports are open to them. They started a program called Exceptional Yoga, and it is currently available to special needs students in more than 10 Charlotte-area schools. They join us, along with Noelle Glass, on the BrandBuilders Podcast today.

It’s no secret that Charlotte is growing fast — about 60 people a DAY fast — and all of those people need to live somewhere. While some move to apartments in and around uptown, others want houses, and that’s where our next guest on the BrandBuilders Podcast comes in. He builds really NICE houses. In fact, Arcadia Homes of Charlotte won Custom Home Builder of the Year from the National Association of Home Builders. That’s a pretty big honor, and their president and managing partner Jeremy Schumacher is here with us today to talk about building our community in a beautiful way.
