Andrew Reina, Founder of The Ragnar Group, joins me in conversation in this episode about insurance (personal & business), liquor liability, and solutions to help small businesses in South Carolina, but potential across the US.

The Ragnar Group Inc. was formed with a singular goal in mind, to disrupt the insurance and financial services industries. For far to long this industry in our opinion has been built not with the client in mind but with what benefits the company’s, agents and advisors most. The result has been a frustrating relationship between financial professionals and the general public in which they strive to help.

Mountain Care first opened its doors in 1986 as "Mountain Geri-Care". Over the years the name, location, and capacity have changed, but their goal has remained the same: to provide high-quality, community-based care for older adults and their caregivers.

Mountain Care is a nonprofit, located in Buncombe and Henderson county in North Carolina. But the topic of caring for aging adults is one that will continue to impact us all, and as Elizabeth explains in this episode there is not enough support to meet demand.

Christopher Smith, Executive Director of the South Carolina Bar and Tavern Association joined me remotely to fill us in on the latest happening with liquor liability laws in South Carolina.

More venues and bars continue to close or struggle to afford liability insurance and the SC Justice Acts continues to be stalled.

With special sessions coming up and the June 11th South Carolina primaries around the corner I decided to release this episode a day early so more people could hear it and get out to the primaries to let our lawmakers know where we stand with our vote.

This might seem like just a South Carolina issue, but could very well happen in any state and in any industry. Small business owners across the country already sacrifice, scrap and give blood, sweat and tears to make their dreams come true, provide for their families, and employee members of the community, that they should not be put out of business by personal injury attorneys, legislators and insurance companies.

It is time to bring some personal responsibility back to our communities and country.

Please share with your friends and family here in South Carolina and beyond!

Community Remembrance preserves truthful historic narratives, but also is working to emphasize the resilience of the Black community.

I had the pleasure of sitting down with Pamela Adams and Charnise Mangle to learn more about the Community Remembrance Project and what led them to their contributions to this Project. We also discuss the impact of trauma across generations, and how the history of civil rights is or is not being taught here in the Upstate of South Carolina or across the country.

Heath shares his career journey to VisitGreenvilleSC, and how a career in tourism during Covid prepared him to answer community concerns about the impact of tourism. We talk the tourism impact on our cities and states, how this can be misrepresented or misunderstood.

Heath is also a member of the board of directors for Travel and Tourism Research Association. He has a heart not only for the place that is Greenville but the community that is Greenville.
