279. Craftsmanship & Innovation in Stonework with Matthew Elliott

About Matthew Elliott and Elliott Enterprise: I grew up right here in the TriCities, raised with a strong foundation built on pride, craftsmanship, and doing things the right way has given our business the reputation for precision, quality, and attention to detail. With a deep respect for the trade, every project is approached with the mindset that the details matter from start to finish. Stone isn't just a material, it's a lasting part of someone's home. That's why each countertop, shower, and custom piece is crafted with care, patience, and a commitment to excellence. The goal is simple in this line of work: deliver a product that stands the test of time and leaves every customer proud of their space.  One of our most unique features in this business is that we are family owned and operated! Clients really appreciate the fact that we've been doing this for almost 30 years and find comfort in knowing we're going to be here the next 30+ years. We've been doing countertops since 1997, however, we started doing quartz showers in 2021 and developed a new business name for that division in the process. Our goal is to become the premier kitchen and bath destination in the TriCities!  Resources: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ElliottEnterpriseCustomCountertops [https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.facebook.com/ElliottEnterpriseCustomCountertops&sa=D&source=calendar&usd=2&usg=AOvVaw0U2g0q2te7qW1kpk8hIm8R] We can also be found on Google at https://elliott-enterprise.com/ [https://www.google.com/url?q=https://elliott-enterprise.com/&sa=D&source=calendar&usd=2&usg=AOvVaw3jkOG9n2GYMKTVDGipH10-] Buy your next home, or list your current home with us! https://www.thecolinandcarlygroup.com/ Be a guest on the Johnson City Living Podcast: https://www.johnsoncityliving.com/guests?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAaf_qLsH2l73s8fTV40Oebx8kSAGlIFS_y50ij7CRneeNX3I6NzzfQMUKP-7hw_aem_xHCpTZ5r_cOfc22X1DNvmw

275. How Acton Academy Empowers Kids to Lead Their Learning

Explore innovative learner-driven education with Sarah Fagerberg, founder of Acton Academy Johnson City. Discover how this model fosters critical thinking, resilience, and purpose in children, challenging traditional schooling paradigms. This is for every parent in the Tri-Cities who has quietly wondered if there's a better way to school, and didn't know one existed right in their backyard. I can speak to what learner-driven education actually looks like day-to-day, why the traditional school model struggles to develop agency and initiative, and what it means for a community when children are raised to know their calling rather than just pass a test.
