After taking a four year break on his Oklahoma ranch, Blake Shelton is back on the road and riding the high of his new album, For Recreational Use Only . After 29 number one hits, and a detour into Hollywood, Blake’s scorching hot single “Texas” proves he’s still got it. Country Thunder CEO Troy Vollhoffer recalls meeting Blake Shelton during a crazy storm that really put the “thunder” in Country Thunder. After 23 seasons on The Voice , Blake opens up about spreading himself thin and making the choice to be “a TV guy or a touring guy.” The two reminisce about Toby Keith and why being a road dog is the best way to learn how to entertain a crowd. Blake reveals how his worst on-stage “ass-kicking” taught him how to be himself in front of a crowd. After taking so much time away from the spotlight, Blake shares that it was Post Malone who reminded him that he’s still a country singer at heart.…

1 EP# 247: Breaking Stereotypes: How Genene Curry Makes Accounting Approachable for Small Businesses 10:38
What makes Genene Curry with Genene Curry Accounting a good neighbor? What does an approachable accountant look like? Genene Curry is redefining the profession one small business at a time. As the owner of Genene Curry Accounting in Asheville, NC, she's on a mission to help those who might otherwise shy away from professional financial guidance. Genene's journey into accounting began unexpectedly when a mentor noticed her natural aptitude for numbers. "Oh my god, this is so easy," she recalls thinking about accounting tasks that many find challenging. This discovery led her to build a practice specifically designed to serve small business owners, self-employed individuals, artists, makers, landscapers, mechanics, and construction workers throughout Western North Carolina. Breaking from the stereotype of the stuffy, intimidating accountant, Genene has created a welcoming space where clients feel comfortable discussing their financial concerns. "What we like to specialize in is being approachable, providing services to people who are scared of it and wouldn't typically go to an accountant," she explains. This philosophy was put to the ultimate test when Hurricane Helene devastated her community. Rather than focusing on potential business losses, Genene and her staff provided free services to help clients navigate FEMA applications, loans, and grants during this critical period. Beyond her professional life, Genene finds balance by attending live music shows, recently enjoying performances by The Black Keys and Slay Bells. This work-life harmony reflects her overall approach to business – bringing humanity and understanding to a field often perceived as cold and impersonal. If you're struggling with tax issues or financial concerns, Genene Curry Accounting offers a free 30-minute consultation to discuss your situation without obligation. As a woman-owned, minority-owned business, they bring unique perspective and empathy to every client relationship. Visit Genenecurryaccounting.com today to schedule your consultation and experience a different kind of accounting service.

What makes Dr. Cory Noll with Edgewood Holistic Chiropractic Center a good neighbor? Ever wondered why chronic health issues persist despite trying everything? The answer might lie in your brain-body connection. Dr. Cory Noll, owner of Edgewood Holistic Chiropractic Center, reveals his groundbreaking approach to wellness in this fascinating conversation. With 25 years of experience as a brain-centered holistic chiropractor, Dr. Noll explains how misalignment between the brain, nervous system, and body leads to conditions like anxiety, gut issues, sleep problems, migraines, and brain fog. "95% of all disease is due to stress," Dr. Noll shares, "and the hormones of stress alter brain function, creating poor brain-body coordination." His unique practice combines brain-centered chiropractic techniques, energy medicine, and functional medicine to restore harmony and communication within the body's systems. Beyond challenging the misconception that chiropractors are merely "back doctors," Dr. Noll discusses his comprehensive training in cardiology, neurology, radiology, orthopedics, and toxicology. What truly sets his practice apart is his use of objective brain wave testing and neurotransmitter analysis to identify patterns affecting health, some present since childhood. The conversation takes a personal turn as Dr. Noll openly shares his journey through pandemic business challenges and personal loss coinciding with Hurricane Helene. His story illustrates how the very principles he applies in his practice—mindset work, emotional resilience, and proper nutrition—helped him navigate these difficult times. When aligned with yourself and in coherence, Dr. Noll describes feeling "safe, whole, and balanced with earth." His goal is to help people maintain this state of harmony for longer periods, especially in our increasingly stressful world. Ready to explore a different approach to your health challenges? Listen now and discover how addressing the brain-body connection might be the missing piece in your wellness journey.

What makes Dr. O’hara with Abingdon Animal Medical Center a good neighbor? Discover the heart behind veterinary medicine as the Good Neighbor Podcast welcomes the dedicated team from Abingdon Animal Medical Center. Dr. O'Hara, Jenny O'Hara, and groomer Dakota Amos reveal what makes their practice special in this warm, insightful conversation about animal care and community connection. From their comprehensive medical services to their full-service grooming salon and boarding facilities, the Abingdon team provides complete care for cats and dogs. What truly sets them apart, however, isn't just their medical expertise but their philosophy: "We love these animals like they're our own." This sentiment echoes throughout the discussion as they share how clients become extended family and patients become personal connections. The conversation takes unexpected turns as Dr. O'Hara candidly addresses veterinary misconceptions, explaining that while there are plenty of joyful moments with new puppies and successful treatments, the profession also requires emotional strength when facing difficult diagnoses and end-of-life care. Originally from Southern California and now eight years into building their practice in Virginia, the team brings both professional excellence and personal warmth to their work. Beyond their clinical roles, we glimpse their lives outside the veterinary world—raising children, gardening, homesteading with chickens, and embracing small-town community values. Their story reminds us that exceptional pet care comes from practitioners who balance medical expertise with genuine compassion and who truly understand the special bond between pets and their people. Whether you're looking for a new veterinary home or simply appreciate passionate professionals, this episode offers a heartwarming look at healthcare providers who consider your pets part of their extended family.

What makes Klaire Todd and Patrick Oleary with Smoky Bear Campground a good neighbor? Tucked away just across from the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Smoky Bear Campground offers the perfect blend of natural beauty and modern comfort. Klaire Todd and Patrick O'Leary share their journey as owners of this family-operated getaway that doesn't just provide a place to stay—it delivers an experience worth returning to year after year. With roots in hospitality dating back to the 1970s, Patrick and Klaire have crafted something special: a tree-filled sanctuary where camping doesn't mean sacrificing comfort. They dispel the myth that outdoor vacations require "roughing it," offering full hookup RV sites, comfortable cabins, and amenities like a pool, hot tub, and meticulously maintained bathhouse. Yet they've preserved what matters most—the genuine camping atmosphere created by mature trees and peaceful surroundings just 13 miles from downtown Gatlinburg. What truly distinguishes Smoky Bear Campground is the personal touch. The owners remain on-site, ensuring every guest enjoys their stay. This dedication has fostered remarkable loyalty, with families returning multiple times yearly—so many that Klaire and Patrick have watched children grow up over repeated visits. They've weathered challenges like COVID-19 and Hurricane Helene while maintaining their commitment to excellence. For four-legged family members, the campground has become a beloved destination where the daily "dog parade" creates community among visitors from across the country. Whether you're planning your first camping experience or continuing a family tradition, Smoky Bear Campground welcomes you to discover why so many consider it their home away from home in the mountains. Discover more at www.SmokyBearCampground.com or call 865-436-8372. Have you experienced camping with amenities? Share your thoughts about combining nature and comfort for your next vacation!

What makes Juno & Johnny with The Creeper Trail Campground a good neighbor? Escape to the mountains with Juno and Johnny, the second-generation owner-operators of Creeper Trail Campground nestled at 3,700 feet elevation in White Top, Virginia. Their remote, family-run campground offers something increasingly rare in our hyper-connected world: genuine disconnection and immersion in nature. As we discover in this conversation, Creeper Trail Campground isn't just a place to pitch your tent or park your RV—it's an experience carefully cultivated by a family with deep roots in the region. The campground features nine RV spots with electric and water hookups, electric tent sites, and primitive camping areas, complemented by a charming cafe serving stone-fired pizzas and breakfast sandwiches made with Juno's scratch-made dough. What makes this destination truly special is its microclimate (temperatures rarely exceed 83°F even in summer) and its status as a certified dark zone where stars blaze against an unpolluted night sky. With no cell service and intentionally minimal artificial lighting, guests experience the increasingly rare gift of true digital detox. Parents particularly appreciate this feature, allowing children to trade screen time for creek splashing and outdoor exploration. Despite Hurricane Helene's impact on the region—particularly the closure of the White Top to Damascus section of the Virginia Creeper Trail—the area remains rich with attractions. Visitors can still enjoy the Damascus to Abingdon trail section, explore Grayson Highland State Park with its wild ponies, fish for trout in Laurel Creek, or drive to the summit of White Top Mountain (Virginia's second-highest peak) for panoramic mountain views. Looking ahead, Juno and Johnny hint at exciting new developments including recreational amenities and possibly music-centered activities—they encourage guests to bring acoustic instruments for impromptu jam sessions. Follow their social media for announcements as they continue to enhance what Johnny describes as "not some anonymous campground" but a genuine stay on their farm. Ready to trade digital notifications for star-filled skies and mountain breezes? Visit creepertrailcampground.com to plan your escape to this hidden gem in Virginia's mountains.

What makes Michelle Bowers with Biltmore Dermatology a good neighbor? What happens when a hospice nurse follows an unexpected path into aesthetic medicine? Michelle Bowers, an aesthetic RN with Biltmore Dermatology in Asheville, North Carolina, reveals her fascinating journey and philosophy in this heartfelt conversation. Michelle brings nearly two decades of nursing experience to her role, having made a dramatic career pivot during the COVID pandemic. Now celebrating five years in aesthetic medicine, she's thrilled to bring specialized cosmetic treatments to Biltmore Dermatology's established practice. What makes her approach special? A dedication to natural, holistic treatments that enhance rather than drastically change a person's appearance. "A misconception is that everyone's going to look unnatural," Michelle explains, countering the fear of "those big lips or those big cheeks" that many associate with cosmetic procedures. Instead, she focuses on helping patients feel confident while still looking like themselves. This patient-centered approach has created meaningful relationships that Michelle treasures as the most rewarding aspect of her work. Beyond her professional identity, Michelle shares her love for hiking the North Carolina mountains and spending quality time with her children. She also opens up about a profound personal challenge—Hurricane Helene's devastating impact on her wedding plans and her now-husband's home. Through this crisis, she discovered the extraordinary resilience of the Asheville community, finding unexpected gifts in how people came together during hardship. Working alongside the physicians and staff at Biltmore Dermatology, Michelle embodies their mission: "We deeply care about people and the whole person. We want people to feel good and be the healthiest, happiest versions of themselves." Ready to learn more? Michelle welcomes listeners to schedule a free 30-minute consultation without any pressure—simply visit BiltmoreDermatology.com or call their office directly.

What makes Samantha Gray with Theatre Bristol a good neighbor? Step behind the curtain as we explore the remarkable 60-year history of Theatre Bristol with Executive Director Samantha Gray. From its humble beginnings in the home kindergarten of a Juilliard-educated visionary to its current status as a thriving community institution with three performance venues, Theater Bristol has brought the magic of live performance to the Tri-Cities for six decades. Gray reveals the beautiful misconception that surrounds their productions: those incredible performers you see on stage aren't imported professionals—they're your talented neighbors who've chosen community over Broadway. This volunteer-powered organization has created a space where anyone can participate in creating theatrical magic, whether they're building sets, designing costumes, or stepping onto the stage for the very first time. Their guiding philosophy? "If you have skills, bring them. If you don't, we'll teach you." The conversation touches on the theater's commitment to accessibility through affordable ticket prices, their resilience during the pandemic when they were "among the first to shut down and the last to reopen," and their exciting expansion with the recent acquisition of the 500-seat Cameo Theater. But beyond the buildings and productions, what truly shines through is the theater's mission to create a place for everyone. As Gray puts it, "There is a place for you here," whether you're 7 or 75, experienced or brand new to theater. Want to be part of this extraordinary community tradition? Visit theaterbristol.org to discover how you can experience the transformative power of live theater—as an audience member, volunteer, donor, or perhaps even making your stage debut in their next production.

What makes Ramona Schwartz with Kidding Around Asheville a good neighbor? Laughter echoes through a brewery as Nigerian dwarf goats hop playfully onto the backs of yoga practitioners – this is the healing magic of Kidding Around Asheville, created by Ramona Schwartz. After working as a home health nurse during COVID's darkest days, caring for patients who couldn't access ventilators, Ramona found herself desperately needing joy in her life. For her 50th birthday, she got her yoga certification and launched one of Asheville's most unique wellness experiences. What makes this experience special isn't just the novelty – it's the connection. "Goats have been domesticated longer than dogs," Ramona explains, describing how these animals naturally seek human interaction. Her classes maintain the perfect "goat-to-people ratio" with eight baby Nigerian dwarf goats for classes capped at 20 participants. These playful animals jump from person to person, snuggling in laps and creating spontaneous moments of delight that break through the barriers of everyday stress. When Hurricane Helene devastated Western North Carolina, Ramona pivoted her business to support the recovering River Arts District, relocating to RAD Brewery. The move exemplifies the resilience that defines Asheville's community spirit. Her clever business model includes a free brewery drink ticket after each session – an incentive that's proven particularly successful with male participants, who "love it more than the women do." But the real draw remains those moments of pure, uninhibited joy. As Ramona puts it, "The one thing I am most proud of about this little company is the amount of laughter and connection that happens during these classes." In our increasingly disconnected world, perhaps what we need most is exactly what Kidding Around Asheville provides – breathwork, baby goats, and the healing power of shared laughter. Ready to experience goat yoga for yourself? Find Ramona at KiddingAroundAsheville.com or on Instagram at KiddingAroundAVL – and remember, no headstands required!

1 EP# 235: Luxury in the Wild: How Molly Rhoades Created the Perfect Mountain Glamping Experience 12:42
What makes Molly Rhoades with Into the Wild Retreat a good neighbor? Ever dreamed of trading your office chair for a camp chair, fluorescent lights for starry skies, and climate control for a fresh mountain breeze? Join Skip Mauney as he welcomes Molly Rhoades, owner of Into the Wild Retreat, who brings glamping to new heights in the pristine mountains of Ashe County, North Carolina. Molly's journey from dedicated educator to glamping entrepreneur began with a transformative honeymoon experience in Vail, Colorado. What started as a retirement aspiration blossomed into a fully-realized luxury retreat when she and her husband acquired a 100-acre cattle farm positioned uniquely at the corner where North Carolina, Virginia, and Tennessee meet. Opened in fall 2022, Into the Wild Retreat offers an experience that shatters camping misconceptions with its spacious canvas tents featuring king-sized beds, private bathrooms, upscale linens, and deck-side fire pits. The educator in Molly shines through in charming details – each tent is named after a beloved wilderness novel, with bedside copies available for guests to enjoy. But perhaps most impressive is the retreat's commitment to sustainability, operating entirely off-grid with solar power and natural mountain water – an achievement that came with significant challenges and learning curves. Nature enthusiasts will appreciate the property's privately stocked trout streams, offering perfect opportunities for fishing adventures between moments of pure relaxation. Whether you're an avid outdoorsperson or someone who typically avoids camping due to perceived discomforts, Into the Wild Retreat creates a harmonious middle ground where luxury meets wilderness.

1 EP# 236: Finding Peace at McMillan Farms: A Family's Journey to Creating a Spiritual Retreat 10:31
What makes Ryan and Pamela Crick with McMillan Farms LLC a good neighbor? Faith moves mountains—and sometimes it helps purchase farms. When Ryan Crick mentioned his dream of creating a retreat to a landowner, he was told the property would never be sold. A year later, that same owner called with surprising news: "The Lord told me to sell you this farm." Nestled in the peaceful countryside of Tennessee, McMillan Farms emerged from this divine directive as a sanctuary where technology takes a backseat to nature's rhythms. Co-owner Pamela Crick reveals the twenty-year journey of transforming raw land into a welcoming retreat complete with fishing ponds, campsites, and a newly finished bathhouse—all designed to help visitors disconnect from screens and reconnect with what matters. What makes this retreat unique? Unlike many spiritual getaways, McMillan Farms transcends denominational boundaries. "We get a lot of questions about what denomination it is," Pamela explains, "but we aren't a denomination. We are followers of Christ." This inclusive approach creates a space where guests can experience peace without pressure—where faith is evident but never imposed. The path hasn't been without challenges. Pamela shares the harrowing story of nearly losing her husband to COVID-19—a battle that strengthened their faith when doctors had given up hope. "Two days later, he was home," she recalls of the miraculous recovery that recommitted them to their mission of creating sacred space. Whether you're planning a church gathering, family reunion, or simply need escape from daily demands, McMillan Farms offers what Pamela describes as "God's country"—a place where rest isn't just permitted but encouraged. Discover this hidden gem before their anticipated completion in 2025 by calling 423-823-2867 or visiting McMillanFarms-Retreat.com, and experience firsthand what happens when faith, family, and four peaceful horses (yes, Pamela rides in her spare time) come together on hallowed ground.

What makes Dr. Stan Setzer with Align Chiropractic a good neighbor? Discover the surprising truth about chiropractic care with Dr. Stan Setzer, owner of Align Chiropractic in Weaverville, North Carolina. If you've dismissed chiropractic as just "back cracking," this conversation will completely transform your understanding of this healing discipline. Dr. Stan shatters the common misconception that chiropractors only treat back pain. From chronic migraines and tinnitus to vertigo and even persistent digestive issues, his practice addresses a remarkably wide range of conditions that often elude traditional medical solutions. He shares the fascinating story of a patient who flies from Florida to North Carolina twice yearly specifically for treatments that resolved long-standing stomach problems when nothing else would help. The episode offers practical insights for anyone with a desk job, explaining how prolonged sitting deactivates critical muscle groups and creates cascading issues throughout the body. Dr. Stan's own journey into chiropractic is equally compelling—unlike many in his field, he didn't grow up with chiropractic care and was skeptical until a chance encounter at a martial arts seminar relieved six months of rib pain in moments. Later, as a chiropractic student, treatments eliminated the headaches and migraines he'd suffered his entire life. Beyond professional insights, we learn about Dr. Stan's personal side as a video gamer, aspiring fiction writer, and adventure-seeker who recently went ziplining with his wife. He shares a touching story about nearly leaving the profession until his wife's steadfast support inspired them to open their own practice—a decision that has allowed them to help countless patients on their own terms. Have you been struggling with a health issue that conventional approaches haven't resolved? Listen to this episode, then visit alignchiropracticcenters.com or call 828-490-6873 to see if Dr. Stan's comprehensive approach might offer the solution you've been searching for.

What makes Connie Bergman with Talloni Of Asheville a good neighbor? What happens when a finance executive decides to open a luxury boutique? For Connie Bergman, owner of Talloni of Asheville, it became a 19-year journey of community connection and resilience. Describing herself as "the most blessed woman in the world," Connie shares the unexpected path that led her to establish her "frivolous, fun boutique" after 20 years in the finance industry. Following the birth of her daughter at age 42 and a desire to fill a gap in Asheville's shopping scene, she created a space that balances luxury with accessibility. Talloni carries coveted brands like Stuart Weitzman, Atulio Gusti, and Kate Spade, but maintains what Connie calls "a really lovely neighborhood way" of doing business. Despite offering shoes that can reach $700, the store was voted "best place to buy a gift" and offers options starting at just $30. The boutique's commitment to community truly shines through Connie's stories of recent hurricane relief efforts. Her long-standing relationship with Stuart Weitzman resulted in a personal $10,000 donation to the local YMCA that had provided shower facilities during the crisis. Even more remarkably, the Coach Foundation contributed $250,000 worth of merchandise to distribute to those who lost everything. These stories reflect Connie's core values, shaped by her own childhood experience being raised by a single mother working three jobs after her father left when she was just two years old. Located in the vibrant Biltmore Park inside the Hilton Hotel, Talloni invites everyone to visit without pressure to buy. As Connie puts it, "We are here to greet you and welcome you and to make you happy." Discover how a luxury boutique has become a beacon of community care while surviving 19 years of economic challenges, and why creating space for joy matters now more than ever.

What makes Stephen Opper with Asheville Pain and Performance a good neighbor? Ever wondered if the pain you're living with is truly permanent? In this revealing conversation, Stephen Opper of Asheville Pain and Performance challenges the notion that chronic discomfort is something we must simply accept. Stephen takes us through his unexpected journey into medical massage and bodywork, which began with his fascination with Chinese medicine and evolved through his own struggle with debilitating back pain. "I'd been an athlete and a martial artist and a movement artist my whole life," he shares, explaining how his personal experience transformed his professional approach. After suffering a back injury that left him bedridden for weeks and unable to work for months, Stephen had to reevaluate everything he thought he knew about healing. The result? A deeper, more nuanced understanding of pain relief that has allowed him to help countless others find their way back to comfort and function. Throughout our conversation, Stephen clarifies important distinctions between relaxation massage and the medical bodywork he practices. His work focuses specifically on treating pain and supporting injury recovery rather than providing spa-like experiences. Most importantly, he offers hope to those who have resigned themselves to living with discomfort: "For most people, there's a way out of pain." His own journey from chronic suffering to being "virtually pain-free" stands as powerful testimony to the healing potential of specialized bodywork when conventional approaches fall short. Whether you're currently struggling with pain or simply curious about alternative approaches to healing, Stephen's perspective may open your eyes to possibilities you hadn't considered. As he wisely advises, "If you haven't got what you need, keep looking, because it's probably out there." Ready to explore what medical massage might do for your pain? Connect with Stephen through his website at AshevillePainAndPerformance.com or call 828-231-5031.

What makes Erin Lowndes with Plain with Sprinkles Events a good neighbor? When Erin Lowndes hired a traditional wedding planner for her own 2017 wedding, she discovered a critical gap in the industry. As a self-described "non-traditional person," she felt the disconnect between rigid wedding conventions and her authentic self. This experience sparked a vision that would eventually become Plain With Sprinkles Events—a wedding planning company specifically designed to serve couples who don't fit neatly into traditional wedding frameworks. From her home in Hot Springs, North Carolina, Erin now leads a team dedicated to creating safe, authentic celebrations particularly for LGBTQ+ couples and others who find themselves underrepresented in wedding traditions. With a background in theater stage management from VCU, Erin brings the perfect blend of logistical precision and creative vision to each celebration she coordinates. Her approach flips conventional wedding planning on its head: rather than starting with discussions about napkins and place settings, she begins by asking couples how they want to feel on their wedding day—a question many have never considered. What makes Erin's philosophy truly refreshing is her rejection of the "best day of your life" wedding ideal. Instead, she sees weddings as a beautiful moment that should propel couples toward even better days ahead, filled with the love and energy they cultivate on their wedding day. After finding her own chosen family and building a beautiful life in the mountains of Western North Carolina, Erin brings a profound appreciation for authentic community to each wedding she plans. Whether you're planning a traditional celebration or something completely unique, Erin's parting wisdom resonates: approach life with love and beauty, stay present, and when you feel a wiggle of joy, hold it in your heart—because that's where the real magic happens.
