More Coffee, Please! Presents: Lauren Pearce

More Coffee, Please! Presents: Tim Baxter

Tim Baxter is an artist, entrepreneur, musician, and culture curator based in Akron, Ohio. He owns Baxter's Speakeasy and serves as the Director of Art and Hospitality for the Historic Arts District, and he has spent two decades building spaces, experiences, and community for people who don't always see themselves represented. In this episode we go deep. We talk about what it means to be a creative who also has to run a business, what Akron needs right now that it doesn't have yet, and what it costs to build something honest in a city that's still figuring itself out. No performance. No polish. Just Timothy Baxter telling the truth. Pull up a seat. Cold brew recommended.

More Coffee, Please! Presents: Margo Sommerville

Margo holds two roles most people would never imagine sharing space in one life. She's the President of Akron City Council, and she's the Executive Director of Sommerville Funeral Homes. One world is built on grief. The other is built on power and disagreement. She moves through both, every single day. In this episode we go past the titles. We talk about loyalty, legacy, and what leadership actually looks like when nobody's watching. No performance. No polish. Just the truth. Pull up a seat. Cold brew recommended.

More Please, Presents!: Willie McGee

More Coffee, Please! Presents: Dr. Michael Copeland

Dr. Michael Copeland | Education, Purpose & The Journey of One Determined Educator Dr. Michael Copeland is an award-winning author, educator, entrepreneur, and CEO of Copeland Consults LLC. But before all of that, he’s a man from Cleveland who decided to give his life to the people everyone else walked past. Through a shared belief that education is the great equalizer, we sat down to talk about where he came from, what drove him back home, and what it actually means to serve a community quietly for over a decade before the world starts paying attention. From wraparound services to authorship to building his own consulting firm, this is a conversation about purpose, legacy, and what happens when a determined educator refuses to quit. Pull up a seat and pour up a drink. Cold brew is the move.
