  Michael Burcham: Entrepreneur

  Aug 16, 202639 min

  A connector, mentor and start-up whisperer, Michael Burcham is one of the most influential figures in Nashville's business ecosystem. The founding president and CEO of the Nashville Entrepreneur Center, he's a serial entrepreneur himself, starting three successful investor-backed businesses. He teaches business and healthcare innovation at Vanderbilt University's Owen Graduate School of Management. Growing up in rural Mississippi, Michael was raised by his grandparents in a town with a Piggly Wiggly, a Sonic Drive-in and little else. He credits a teacher named Barbara Beard with helping him become a serious student, which eventually led him to medicine. But it was the business side that really fascinated him. The rest is Nashville business history — not that he's slowing down any time soon.

  Bonus: Meet the Women Behind Nashville’s 40+ Double Dutch Subclub

  Aug 14, 202611 min

  Kimmie Christian has been jumping Double Dutch for as long as she can remember. “It's kind of like a passage, right?” she said. “When you're born, you just, everyone just jumps Double Dutch. My mom jumped Double Dutch. My aunts jumped Double Dutch. My sisters jumped Double Dutch. It's just kind of what the girls did in the neighborhood.” She brought that longstanding tradition from her upbringing in Chicago to Nashville, where she started the local chapter of the 40+ Double Dutch Subclub. Around 40 women gather every Saturday morning to jump rope at the Southeast Community Center. Some who come to the meetups are first-timers who get to learn from the best. Two women turn the ropes and one jumps, as the other women in the room chant and clap. For Christian, it’s about finding time to play. But it’s also about making relationships and finding community. “We’re there for each other during grieving, deaths… We celebrate each other’s accomplishments, news jobs,” she said. “But overall we’re all one. We’re all sisters.” Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

  Andrew Leeper and Will Minkoff: Nashville Severe Weather Livestreamers

  Aug 2, 202639 min

  Middle Tennessee weather can be unpredictable — and dangerous. When things get iffy, a trio of "suburban dads" keeps the information flowing. But once the watches turn to warnings, they really get serious: That's when they start livestreaming on YouTube, tracking storms in real time and letting their audience know when to shelter and when it's safe to carry on. Nashville Severe Weather started as a Twitter account to keep locals informed of potential rainouts and worse. It's grown into a high-tech multi-platform operation with hundreds of thousands of followers. Two-thirds of the team joined Demetria to talk about their origins — which go back farther than one might think — and their advice for getting through a nasty weather event.
