  Aug 17, 202657 minS2

  What happens when a beloved community resource becomes a family business and the next generation gets a seat at the table? On this episode of the Imagine Moore Podcast, Rose Young sits down with Sarah Baker, daughter of The Pines Times co owner Ashley Baker, to talk about what it is really like to help build the next chapter of The Pines Times as a family. Sarah shares how The Pines Times is growing from the community events calendar founded by Sue Deutsch in 2014 into a true community connector. We talk about their growing social media presence, the new Midlife in the Pines and Ask Auntie Pine, opportunities for young entrepreneurs through PineyFest, and the upcoming The Pines Weddings & Events. We get into the fun side of working with family. Who has the big ideas? Who keeps everyone organized? And which phrase is more dangerous in the Baker household, “I have an idea” or “This should be easy”? Sarah also shares her vision for the future of The Pines Times and what she hopes the Baker family will ultimately bring to the community they call home. A special thank you to The Pines Times for supporting local businesses and organizations and for hosting a special page for the Imagine Moore Podcast.

  Great leaders don't always have all the answers. They know how to ask the right questions. In this episode of The Imagine Moore Podcast, host Rose Young sits down with Jeff Hutchins, founder of Hutchins Advisory Services, for a thoughtful conversation about leadership, purpose, and navigating life's transitions. Jeff shares his remarkable journey from working as a nursing assistant and social worker to leading Penick Village as CEO for nearly two decades before launching Hutchins Advisory Services. Along the way, he offers practical wisdom on building strong organizational cultures, leading through uncertainty, developing mission-driven teams, and finding clarity when the road ahead isn't always clear. Jeff believes that real progress starts with listening. Lots of listening. Through thoughtful questions and meaningful conversations, he helps leaders discover their strengths, identify opportunities, and create a clear path forward. Rather than giving people all the answers, he helps them uncover the answers that are already within themselves. But this episode isn't just for business leaders. It's for anyone facing change, searching for purpose, leading a family, serving on a nonprofit board, growing a business, or wondering what their next chapter might look like. You'll also get to know the man behind the work—a devoted husband, father of four, community volunteer, and outdoor adventurer who believes leadership begins with listening and relationships. Whether you're leading an organization or simply trying to become a better leader in your own life, Jeff's insights will encourage you to slow down, ask better questions, and move forward with greater clarity and purpose.
