Everyone welcome back to another episode of the Shop andChivalry Podcast. My guest today is a former guest. Shea Dobson stops by totalk to us about many things. We talk about his mayorship, the election, and ofcourse the Tennessee Titans!! Primarily we focus on his new organization,Citizens Alliance of Mississippi. Shea is a great dude with a heart of gold. Hisorganization is fueled by such characteristics. Shea seeks to keep legislatorsaccountable to citizens. The catalyst may have been initiative 65, but hispurpose for the organization has to do with giving citizen voters a greaterunderstanding of the people they elect to represent their interests. Insofar ashe is successful, he’ll ultimately empower citizens to leverage the power oftheir vote and make the elected public servants work for the citizens. It’s anadmirable goal. Shea is a wonderful dude and I love this guy.

Everyone welcome back to another episode! Today's guest is a fortune of energy. Katie Weldon serves as Programming Director at the Mississippi Gulf Coast Chamber of Commerce, which serves more than 950 businesses and more than 50,000 employees along the Mississippi Gulf Coast. As if that wasn't enough, Katie is also the current serving President of an amazing women's organization, The Junior Auxiliary of Biloxi-Ocean Springs--JABOS, as it's more affectionately called. This organization leverages the talent, tenacity, and strength of the southern woman to make major impact in the Biloxi-Ocean Springs area. I know many of these women involved and there is no shortage of capability in any part of this organization. Katie has cultivated an amazing team. Some of the work of JABOS impacts the relationship between parent and child. JABOS works to ease the transition from hospital bed to home bed by providing car seats and even clothing to place the child in clothes, rather than hospital garb. JABOS also does a fantastic job of emphasizing long term health by battling obesity at a grassroots level. Their eight month training program capstones with participation in the Ocean Springs Historical Society's Kid's One-Mile Fun Run. These are just a couple of programs of JABOS. Their impact is much greater. Check out www.JABOS.org for more information or to become a member. Katie and I talk about JABOS, her life as a new mother, and other social issues. Her energy is infectious. I had a wonderful time talking to this amazing woman. I hope you all enjoy!!!

Hey there and welcome back to another eppy. This (relatively) short episode is with a man named Justin Patricoff. Justin works for Wahl. WAHL makes clippers and trimmer for people and also animals. He is down on the Gulf Coast for the Red White and Blueberry Festival in Ocean Springs. A man in Ocean Springs won a $20k prize for his epic beard, so WAHL decided to come down with their mobile barber shop and some very talented master groomers to give free trimmings to the beards and mustaches of Ocean Springs. In fact, for every trim given, WAHL will donate $100 to the 1720 foundation. This foundation exists to cover unexpected costs of adoption for people. Why this organization? Because the winner of that beard contest used his prize money to cover the exorbitant costs of adoption. Their child arrived home in April. We talk about beards, WAHL, and the male beard movement. It’s a fun conversation, that focuses on WAHL, Ocean Springs, and the Red White and Blue festival. Everyone please welcome, Justin Patricoff!!!Youtubehttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGi403-O3k8KjLsW2F9B4sgApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-shop-and-chivalry-podcast/id1526999566Google Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/search/shop%20and%20chivalryStitcher: https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/the-shop-and-chivalry-podcastSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/01tJfhWvQv5fAvzPn4vPZQhttps://www.shopandchivalry.com#podcast #podcasting #podcasts #spotify #applepodcasts #apple #Google #googlepodcasts #stitcher #radio #podcastersofinstagram #podcastlife #podcaster #oceansprings #mscoastlife #msgulfcoast #visitOS #visitms #WAHL #WAHLgrooming #beards #manscaper #mustache

Today I speak with Sarah Beaugez. Sarah is an Ocean Springs native, an author, and a photographer of some of the most beautiful photos representing our great state. Sarah has traveled the state extensively. Through those travels she engages the wide array of citizens which inhabit this magnolia state. She even wrote a book about it called Encounters off the Beaten Path; a Book of Southern Short Stories. Sarah has a command of the English language and a talent for story telling. These stories highlight the amazing variability of friends along the coast, and throughout the state, while also explaining the impact each and every one of these interactions has on Sarah. In this book she grows through those interactions—a lesson we should all relearn. Sarah, through her work, tells a story of Mississippi. She highlights what is the essence of this state. The love, the beauty, and even the past pains. Sarah also is working on a project to highlight the impact of poor citizens in the state also participating in the cotton industry alongside the slaves of this state. A painful past indeed. Sarah and I talk about these subjects and more. She is a wonderful spirit and I’m thrilled to have her on the show.

Today my guest is Greg Gipson. Greg has been on the podcast before. We spoke a few months ago as the elections in Ocean Springs were gaining steam. Greg is running for alderman in the busy race of Ward 1. Greg is an Ocean Springs native. He has a passion for community and his work throughout his life reflects as much. He spends much of his time in philanthropic work. We discuss this in this episode and go into more detail in our previous discussion. Greg and I chat about his ward and the elections too. Greg has spent his time not just campaigning, but acting as an Alderman. He shares numerous stories about fixing problems that residents have after meeting them. He’s showing, very clearly, that he is capable of being the alderman for ward 1. Greg and I also discuss the ugly side of the campaign trail. This leads to a meaningful discussion which includes topics surrounding race and other minority issues. It’s an unfortunate reality. It’s a shame the current political atmosphere derails conversations about actual ideas and issues and focuses on labels, race, and other trivial subjects. Greg is a wonderful man with a vigor for helping people. Y’all are definitely going to enjoy this episode.

Welcome back everybody! My guest today is Cynthia Dobbs Sutton. Cynthia is the director of the Ocean Springs Chamber of Commerce Mainstreet Tourism Bureau. She also co-hosts the Ocean Springs Community Live Show, with Sarah Qarqish. Sarah is the director of the Mary C. Cynthia and I talk about our wonderful city of Ocean Springs and the many exciting things we have to do in the town. I learned that the Chamber of commerce isn’t a government entity. Rather, it is a non-profit working closely with city leaders and businesses to create economic sustainability and improve the already stunning business climate we have in Ocean Springs. She’s a fantastic personality and I hope she starts her own podcast one day!! I’m thrilled to bring this episode to you. Everyone please welcome, Cynthia Dobbs Sutton.

""Some Place Else" is the story of an out of body experience I had while I was in a coma for 23 days. This autobiographical work leaves readers questioning the existence of their immortal soul"Ladies and gentlemen, today I speak with Patrick Mooney. Patrick Mooney has written an incredible book. The book is called Someplace Else. It’s not heaven or hell; it’s just someplace else. The story is about Patrick’s unbelievable and miraculous story enduring a brain aneurism which put him in a coma. In that coma he experienced the pains of a past he did not experience, the present in a metaphor, and the future—which came true. His retelling of the story is incredible. I want to keep this brief because the story is so damn good. Everyone, please welcome, Patrick Mooney!!

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to the Shop and Chivalry Podcast. Today I talk with a good friend of mine, Joshua Toellner. Joshua is one of the brightest, most hilarious, outgoing, and loving people I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. Mr. Toellner and I met in South Georgia, where we were stationed as air traffic controllers. We have numerous similarities. We both started in maintenance, we promoted at the same time, we share similar views on organizational management, use of technology within organizations, and the overall profession of arms. We have our political, ideological differences, but that has never affected our interactions. In fact, Josh and I have a strength of being able to talk about difficult things from an open-minded and vulnerable perspective. We discovered the recipe for true open, mutual discourse. Josh and I bonded over a terrible organizational structure in South Georgia. From Machiavellian tyrants seeking to influence the operation of an organization through subversive means, to witnessing the physiological effects of poor management and leadership, and even having to help people avoid killing themselves due to the poor working conditions. Our outward care for our fellow peers, devotion to our job, and willingness to sacrifice ourselves to help keep others sane—much less alive—yielded us a brotherhood we will never lose. Josh and I talk about many things. We discuss the role of race and gender in the Air Force, we talk about our experiences in South Georgia and the life that follows. We have a few laughs along the way as well. He’s one of my favorite humans alive. I love this dude. Everyone please welcome, Joshua Toellner!!

Ladies and Gentlemen, I have another election episode for you today. My guest today is Melanie Allen. She is running for mayor and she will face Kenny Holloway in the runoff on April 27th. I wanted to have both candidates present for a discussion about Ocean Springs. Unfortunately, Kenny declined due to an already full schedule. In any case, Melanie have a fun discussion. I asked questions posed by many of you and we also just have a candid conversation about Ocean Springs. Melanie is an accomplished woman who is skilled in business and public service. Her accolades and accomplishments speak to as much. She shows grace and poise despite what has been an unfair attack on her character by a gestapo-like effort to marginalize her as a woman, a public servant, and a qualified candidate for the city’s highest title. The elections have shown me despite the darkness of these big statement from small minds, integrity, competence, and strength will always persevere. I’m happy to have Melanie on again. The entire election series began with our conversation months ago. I’m thrilled to host this wonderful woman again, and I’m even more thrilled I found such an amazing friend. Everyone please welcome, Melanie Allen. #podcast #podcasting #podcasts #spotify #applepodcasts #apple #Google #googlepodcasts #stitcher #radio #podcastersofinstagram #podcastlife #podcaster #interview #election #cityofOceanSprings #OceanSprings #Coastlife #mississippi #gulfcoast #republican #smalltown #southernliving #culture #art #MaryC #interview #election

Everyone welcome back to another episode. We’re still in the election cycle here in Ocean Springs. While the primary election has passed, the runoff is well underway. As such, my good friend Doug Walker decided to stop by. Doug is in a runoff race in ward 3. Doug and I chat about the experience thus far, campaigning in a COVID environment, and his passion he holds in the belief that he is the right person—the best person—to serve ward 3 as an alderman. We spend an unusual amount talking about roads. I think it surprised both of us! Doug also talks about some of his frustrations about the nasty side of campaigning in this divisive, dagger-throwing election system. The awful, arguably unprofessional, behavior exhibited at the federal level during elections has obviously permeated the entire hierarchy of elected officials. Doug is my first repeat guest and I had a blast talking to him. He’s a wonderful man with a great sense of humor. He is direct. He is well-informed. While that makes for a formidable person to conversate with, Doug is at heart a grounded, loving, good natured man who simply wants to continue to serve this community. I’m honored he is seeking a seat as one of the board of alderman. Everyone please welcome, Doug Walker. #podcast #podcasting #podcasts #spotify #applepodcasts #apple #Google #googlepodcasts a...

My guest today is a member of the United States Air Force, and a recruiter too. Technical Sergeant (TSgt) Christen Andrews is a recruiter for the Air Force in South Mississippi. He’s a former air transportation technician. In the Air Force, recruiting is a special assignment. Anyone, from any career field, can be a recruiter. After is 3-4 years, he’ll return to his job. For now, he’s a recruiter conveying the Air Force mission and purpose to anyone who may be interested. TSgt Andrews is more than a recruiter; he’s more than an air transportation tech; he’s more than an Airman. We talk about his time during childhood where he was raised alongside nearly 10 brothers and sisters under the strict rule of a Marine father. We have a great laugh about his experience surrounding smuggling candy. He discusses his own anger issues and his work to get to the bottom of those issues while in the service. Those issues nearly cost him his career. Truly, he potentially could not be in the service today if not for the work of his superiors who saw something special in him.Christen is responsible for a viral video about the Air Force. His production prowess came to realization with his viral acceptance of his video of #TeamBlue. His video was reshared by headquarters Air Force and the Chief Master Sergeant of the Air Force. TSgt Andrews is well spoken and carries with him the stature of a giant, and a leader. He’s formidable at first glance, but is also calm and welcoming. It was a pleasure to sit and talk with him. He also shows the complexity of humans and how we are constantly in a state of change and improvement. I found comfort in how relatable that is. I felt as though I’ve known this dude for years and I think that comes off in the interview. I hope you all enjoy the episode! I’ve watched it twice since I recorded it!!!!! Everyone, please welcome, TSgt Christen Andrews. The views, opinions, and attitudes contained in this interview are those of the individuals present and do not in any way reflect the views, opinions, and attitudes of the United States Air Force, Department of Defense, or the Federal Government in any way, explicitly or implied.#podcast #podcasting #podcasts a...

Everyone welcome back to another episode highlighting the star-studded talent in Ocean Springs. Today I talk with a legend of public office in the City of Discovery. Fred “Chic” Cody, is running as a mayor for Ocean Springs. He’s been a faithful servant to this city for about a quarter century. He’s served alongside like-minded peers and mayors and those not-so like-minded. He was part of the administration which converted the downtown area into the tourist draw that has been award winning and inviting to so many people. He’s been a part of the community wishing to proliferate the arts and culture scene. Chic is a republican, but his forward thinking perspective is anything but conservative (in the a-political sense). Chic has vision for Ocean Springs which seeks to capitalize on current and future growth. He seeks to bring clean industry here which will benefit the entire coast. He has ideas to promote free enterprise in East Ocean Springs as well as downtown. That’s the benefit of a man who has served for so long. He has experience across the continuum of time. He’s seen good policy and bad policy. Those are vectors towards the right policies—policies grounded in relevance and predictability of outcomes. I enjoyed sitting down with Chic. He’s a wonderful guy with a great perspective on this city and her future.

Brandon grew up on a farm in Tennessee. He attended Law School at Ole Miss (his fault, not mine). LOL. Thanks to a familiar Ocean Springs native, fellow graduate of OS High, and former Miss Mississippi, Marie Wicks, Brandon was sold on what Ocean Springs had to offer. Brandon brings the principles of empathy, hard work, meaningful understanding, and getting things right as the pillars of his political philosophy. Brandon is focused on issues that other candidates do not. For example, Ocean Springs dominates the state in many things, but inclusion is not one of them. According to the Human Rights Campaign, Ocean Springs—as diverse as it is—scores a measly 4/100 in its inclusion policies and practices!! Biloxi scores a 30. Brandon isn’t advocating a dogmatic approach to fixing this. Rather, he brings it up as an existential talking point whereby we can begin to examine ourselves as a city to make sure are promoting the diversity we seem so proud to talk about. Brandon also wishes to look at our coastlines and plan for sustainable projects which help protect against hurricanes and erosion. While that seems obvious, projects such as the swales and sidewalk along our beaches appear to say something else entirely, in my opinion. Brandon and I have a meaningful conversation about these topics and more. He’s a wonderful guy, and he’d be an asset to ward one and the city of Ocean Springs. Everyone please welcome, Brandon Riches!!Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGi403-O3k8KjLsW2F9B4sg Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/.../the-shop-and.../id1526999566 Google Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/search/shop%20and%20chivalry Stitcher: https://www.stitcher.com/.../the-shop-and-chivalry-podcast Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/01tJfhWvQv5fAvzPn4vPZQ https://www.shopandchivalry.com #podcast #podcasting

Everyone, welcome back to another episode of the Shop and Chivalry Podcast!! Today I have a very special conversation with someone who speaks my language! Running for alderman in ward 6 is Melanie Milburn. She’s a native of the gulf coast, a graduate of Southern Mississippi, and a former Air Force colonel who spent 25 years in the service. We chat about her time in the Air Force and what that unique experience brings to ward 6 and Ocean Springs. Melanie is well spoken, well thought-out, and carries with her a sense of strength, courage, and integrity.I’m excited she’s running, and I’m excited to get this episode out!!

People with passion speak differently about those passions. You can tell because the passion comes out in the speech of the individual when the subject comes up. My guest today speaks with that same passion. In his own words, “a loud, boisterous, opinionated guy”, Michael Bryant talks about Ocean Springs in a way that only he can. Mike is a resident of ward one and he is running as a candidate for alderman of ward 1. At first glance, he may strike you as intimidating with his stature, and his command of voice. Yet, he is very reasonable and willing to discuss virtually any issue. We show that on the podcast. We talk about many issues in the city and have a bit of debate here and there.
