Why is Atlanta the innovation capital of the Southeast? Might Could, a podcast series from The Hatchery, Emory Center for Innovation, seeks to answer that question in conversation with innovation thought leaders and disruptors in non-profits, higher education, and industry who are making Atlanta a city of the future.

Today, we have the pleasure of welcoming special guests Chuck and Stacy Reece, co-founders of Salvation South. Chuck was previously co-founder and editor-in-chief of The Bitter Southerner, which aimed to debunk stereotypes about our region by uncovering the American South in all its truth and complexity, and is now editor-in-chief of Salvation South. Stacy is President of Down South House & Home, which offers high quality Southern themed home goods with clean classic designs, and now co-founder and head of merchandise for Salvation South. Salvation South aims to celebrate the unique Southern culture that unifies us all and explore some of our current divisions in the hope that we can begin having civil conversations, perhaps not always agreeing with each other, but walking away as friends.
