If your back hurts, everything hurts. And if you’re one of 65 million Americans who suffer from back pain, you know how important it is to get relief. A chiropractor can help! Whether you’re a serious athlete, a weekend warrior, or somewhere in between, your back is the the foundation of your health and fitness.

Dr. Doug Bradberry is a chiropractic physician at Greenapple Sports and Wellness. He’s an athlete himself, who has worked with Olympic-bound athletes from the U.S. and Canada, local sports teams, as well as “regular” folks like you and me. 

He’s our guest today on the award-winning BrandBuilders podcast.

Choate Construction Company was founded in 1989, as the economy headed into recession. Talk about great timing, right? Construction projects were few and far between, the team was small, and their “fleet” was just one old truck.

But they went ahead with it anyway. Now, they’ve got 6 regional offices, nearly 500 employee-owners, and experience in all kinds of construction. That’s one heck of a foundation for a successful future. (See what we did there?) 

Adam Hawthorne is in business development with Choate Construction and he’s our guest today on the BrandBuilders Podcast. 

Let’s talk about hair. Everybody’s got it. Some have a ton of it, others not so much. Over a lifetime, we wash it, dry it, style it, cut it, let it grow – or not. And, every one of us loses some of it every day. And for some of us, we lose it faster than it grows back.

Hair loss can be scary, traumatic, or depressing for lots of people. The good news is, there are LOTS of solutions for thinning hair and hair loss. You’ve probably seen a few ads in your social media feed just this morning…

Our guest today on the BrandBuilders Podcast is in the solutions business for folks with hair loss concerns. Byan Margolin is here from Pro Hair Labs.

Whether you’ve read it or not, you probably know the book, “7 Habits of Highly Effective People.” Steven Covey authored that one along with LOADS of other best-sellers about people, work, and productivity.

Covey’s books are as quotable as the movie “Caddyshack,” and packed full of “bottom line” insights like this quote: “So often, the problem is the system, not the people. If you put good people in bad systems, you get bad results.”

CTK at Work is a solution from local law firm Conrad, Trosch and Kemmy that FOR businesses looking to keep and get the best talent – and help them work at their very best. Dr. Elizabeth Teagarden is our guest today on the BrandBuilders podcast to tell us
how THAT process works.

For a lot of people, one of the best things to come out on the other side of the pandemic… was the return to in-person events. The virtual thing was unique for a while, but we’re social beings. We WANT to be around each other and collaborate,
congregate, and celebrate.

But, getting back to whatever normal looks like has presented plenty of challenges for people who work in the events space. Those who came out on the other side of quarantine times found themselves working with a whole new set of rules and
expectations.

Jennifer Bishop is one of those event professionals who can tell those war stories. She’s our guest today on the BrandBuilders Podcast.

There was a commercial a few years back about a company that said they, “quote,” they make a lot of the things you know “better.” Truth is just about ANY product you use is PACKED with pieces and parts. And there are companies that may have never heard of that make those pieces and parts.

One of those companies is Sur-Seal. They engineer, design, and manufacture ALL kinds of parts for all kinds of industries. From aerospace, to medical, to automotive, heating and air, lighting… the list goes on!

Billy Lipari is Marketing Director for Sur-Seal. He’s our guest today on the BrandBuilders podcast.

It’s probably more than fair to say that “traditional media,” like the kind our parents used to know, is a thing of the past. Newspaper subscriptions have dwindled for years… TV news is a shell of what it was in its prime. And car makers may not even include the AM band on the radio.

Sorry folks, your Facebook news feed is NOT the actual news. And what’s left of the “news” is arguably entertainment at best, and loaded with pop-up ads. So where do you turn if you want to know what’s REALLY going on??

One local journalist decided to answer that question with a question: Would people be willing to subscribe to a newsletter that was JUST the local news?? Tony Mecia is the executive editor of the Charlotte Ledger. He’s our guest today on the BrandBuilders podcast!
