McHarper Manor is located in a beautiful historic building located in Milford, OH & is owned by Tabitha & Tom Harper, who are two amazing individuals who recently (& unexpectedly) found out what its like to “go viral” on a global scale!
McHarper Manor offers in-person & online Arts & Crafts classes taught by owner, Tabitha Harper, & many other local artists eager & excited to share & teach their love of the arts. They cover many mediums to engage & inspire people of all ages & from every corner of the globe with a passion for creativity. They provide the space & instruction for anyone & everyone to create something beautiful.
They initially caught my attention when I found out they are the creators of the locally legendary Cincy Brewery Map Shirts, but it was their recent viral explosion that catapulted them to the front of my list of guests! They...blew...up, y’all!!!! I’ve never seen anything like what they experienced & I wanted to sit down & talk about it over a few brews while it was still fresh. A single post spawned from a compassionate & empathetic reaction for all of the kids & parents blindsided by the stay-at-home order, sent them on a journey of viral rock stars & completely changed their way of doing business.
They are another truly local small business that just happened to capture the attention of people across the country & all over the world. They have always been supportive of their fellow artists & other businesses in the city they call home. Look them up...join a class or buy a shirt or something...just show them support because they absolutely deserve it. Just make sure you tell them you heard about them here!

Ep 5 - The Common Beer Co. - Mark & Amy Lortz

The Common Beer Co. is located in beautiful historic downtown Mason, OH & is owned & operated by two of the nicest people you'll ever meet, Mark & Amy Lortz.
Besides serving up delicious locally crafted brews to their patrons & friends, this amazing Mason power couple lives in & loves the community they set up shop in. They created the business as a way to, personally, better their hometown & they did that by investing in, renovating, remodeling, & reviving a building in their historic Main Street corridor & turning it into a brewery with hopes of creating a center point & hub where their neighbors could gather.
The Common Beer Co. is a beautiful venue with warm & welcoming decor that makes you feel comfortable as soon as you step through the doors. There's plenty of space, a long L-shaped bar, & a relaxing outdoor patio area with a firepit & extra seating out back. It's one of my favorite local breweries to visit. The staff, along w/ Mark & Amy, are always super friendly & make you feel right at home as you sit down to sample their beer.
They are a true local small business & are passionate about their craft & city. I encourage everyone listening to make it a priority to pay this place a visit once this quarantine ends. In the meantime, stop by for a carry-out growler & tell them you heard about them here!

Ep 7 - Chad Robert Paint Finishings - Chad Ulrich @ Happy 2 Brewing Company

Chad Roberts Paint Finishings is owned & operated by Chad Ulrich & he is, in my humble opinion, the best painter in the Greater Cincinnati area.
Chad Roberts Paint Finishings has been in business for over 4 years (16+ in the industry) & they service the entire tri-state area, focusing on higher-end homes & commercial spaces. If you want it done right...on time...& on budget w/ no hassles...Chad is your guy!
I've been working w/ Chad as long as I've known him. In those 14+ years, I've never met a painter to match his quality, work ethic, & attention to detail. As a Realtor & Real Estate investor I have worked with countless contractors over the years & Chad is the longest-standing & most confidently recommended contact I've ever had or handed out as a referral. He's the best at what he does.
Not all small businesses & entrepreneurs make a living with brick & mortar business fronts & high overhead. Chad has created a thriving & highly reputable & referred business by fine-tuning & constantly improving a learned skill over many years & countless hours of experience. If you're looking for a painter & want it done right & don't want to worry about the stereotypical hassle of dealing w/ a contractor...do yourself a favor & call Chad Roberts Paint Finishings at (513) 349-2560. You won't regret it. Be sure to tell him I sent you too!
