  Give A Little Christmas: Krys Midgett on Santa Gifts for Wilson County Kids

  Sep 24, 202654 min

  Give A Little Christmas makes sure Wilson County kids wake up to gifts from Santa, and it started with one Christmas party that fell through. Krys Midgett is the founder of Give A Little Christmas, a journalist and songwriter who runs Life Between the Lakes, a Wilson County community magazine, and edits Give A Little Nashville, a magazine about charities and how celebrities give back. Krys tells us how a songwriter's idea for a kids' Christmas party fell through in 2012, and how she made it happen anyway. That one party grew into a year-round charity that she says has now helped more than 8,000 children. You'll hear why help is based on need, not income, and why it covers every child from newborn to 18, including the teenagers many programs leave out. You'll also hear how the gifts reach families in plain black bags so the surprise stays intact, and why the gifts have to come from Santa. If you've ever wondered what it takes to keep a promise like that for 14 Christmases, Krys walks through it, along with the ways you can sponsor a family, give, or join her at Cocktails With Santa.

  Jul 2, 202642 min

  TNT Chem-Dry just hit their twentieth year serving Middle Tennessee, and owner Tara Outson has some things to say about dirty carpets, unconditional love, and why she asks every technician she hires one very specific question. Tara co-owns TNT Chem-Dry with her husband Tim. They moved to Nashville twenty years ago knowing exactly one person, made flyers on day one, and got their first call before they'd made it out of a real estate parking lot. Today they serve the entire Nashville metro area with chemical-free carpet, upholstery, tile, and rug cleaning — and a team that's required to love dogs. In this episode: Why you should never spot-clean before the pros arrive (the residue is working against you) How TNT Chem-Dry uses black lights on every job — whether pets are mentioned or not Why a pre-listing carpet clean can make or break a buyer's first impression What Tara has learned from twenty years of conversations in people's homes The animal rescues she supports and why she got into this business in the first place Organizations mentioned: Critter Cavalry — https://www.crittercavalry.org Big Fluffy Dog Rescue — https://bigfluffydogs.com Nashville Humane Society — https://nashvillehumane.org Best Friends Animal Society — https://bestfriends.org TNT Chem-Dry 20th Anniversary Offer: 20% off — call or text Tara directly at 615-557-5231 Website: https://tntchemdry.com **************************************** 🎬 WATCH THE VIDEO Watch all episodes on our YouTube Channel @YouMatterNashville 💡 NOMINATE A GUEST Know someone making an impact in the Middle Tennessee area?

  I Am Human Too with Sarah Murphree

  Mar 19, 202658 min

  What if the person you walk past every day on the street could change your life? In this episode, we sit down with Sarah Murphree, author of I Am Human Too — a Pulitzer-considered book that profiles 14 individuals experiencing homelessness and reveals the humor, resilience, and humanity behind their stories. Sarah shares how growing up with a mother living with a mental health condition led her to a pivotal moment at UT Knoxville — one that changed her career path, her worldview, and ultimately produced one of the most important books about homelessness and humanity you'll ever read. In this episode: Why approximately 30% of people experiencing homelessness are also living with mental illness — and what we get wrong about that number How shame and silence keep people (housed and unhoused alike) from getting the help they need The one simple, free action you can take TODAY to acknowledge someone who feels invisible Why I Am Human Too isn't about homelessness — it's about humanity How a portion of every book sale supports Feeding America External Links: sarahmurphree.com/the-book nami.org feedingamerica.org thecontributor.org **************************************** 🎬 WATCH THE VIDEO Watch all episodes on our YouTube Channel @YouMatterNashville 💡 NOMINATE A GUEST Know someone making an impact in the Middle Tennessee area?

  Superior Exteriors Cleaning Company with Grant Burnside

  Jan 22, 20261h 12m

  From a $500 investment and 100 rejected doors to building Williamson County's largest exterior cleaning company, Grant Burnside's story with Superior Exteriors proves that resilience, integrity, and giving back create extraordinary success. In this powerful episode of our Nashville podcast, Grant shares his journey from homeless at 18—receiving life-changing help from GraceWorks Ministries—to becoming the entrepreneur who now donates a portion of every sale to that same local nonprofit. His transparent insights on door-to-door sales, contractor licensing requirements, and building a referral network provide practical wisdom for any business owner. But what makes Grant's story truly inspiring is his unwavering commitment to community impact. Superior Exteriors doesn't just clean homes and buildings—they support High Hopes, The Well Outreach, Pregnancy Center of Columbia, and families throughout Middle Tennessee who need help but can't afford services. Discover why Grant turned down a franchise opportunity to stay focused on Williamson County, how he built 456 five-star Google reviews through exceptional service, and his "burn the ships" mentality that turned a side hustle into a thriving business. Whether you're an entrepreneur seeking motivation or someone who believes business can be a force for good, this episode delivers inspiration and actionable strategies.
