Raven’s Nest Gourmet was launched over 30 years ago in Muscle Shoals, Alabama in the basement of the Dennis family home. What started as a small operation has survived the test of time by delivering quality products to family gatherings for decades. Throughout the years, Raven’s Nest products have served “mom-and-pop shops” nationwide and can now be found in over 1800 stores. On this episode, Rob sits down with Monica Smith, who bought the business over 14 years ago from her mother, Raven, and father, Sammy. Monica details her initial reluctance to taking on the responsibility of being a working mom running a company, but ultimately gave in when things started to fall into place. All business operations were moved to the Carolinas and are now located in Fort Mill, SC. These products are phenomenal – they truly sell themselves. We love to support small businesses, especially those that are located here in the Charlotte area of North Carolina. Leave a comment below of your favorite Raven’s Nest product, but if you have not tried them, you should (link below to order). Enjoy the show!

Brennon Lang is an outdoor enthusiast who loves a challenge. He is into Ultra-marathons, backpacking, rock climbing, endurance (mental, emotional, physical), and pushes the boundary between badass and dumbass, as he says. In this episode, Robert and Brennon discuss their love for the outdoors and what goes into training for an ultra-marathon, as well as the way to cope when things do not go as planned. There are always barriers to pursuing a dream, especially something as crazy as an ultra-marathon. One can either allow those challenges to discourage them, or they can use them as fuel. Listen and find out how Brennon deals with negativity, failure, and more on this episode of Beyond Grit with Robert Young.

Beyond Grit is officially one year old! In honor of this milestone event, we are throwing back to Robert's very first guest, Chuck Norris. Chuck's episode is one of our fan favorites so if you haven't heard it yet, you are in for a treat. If you have heard it, enjoy it again or leave a review.
Chuck grew up in the Detroit area of Michigan. He joined the Army out of high school, which led him to North Carolina. After the military, Chuck knew that sitting behind a desk was not his path. Since that time, he has owned multiple car audio stores, a Furniture store, and had a successful building/contractor career.  He is now the CEO of Fayetteville Marksmen Hockey Team and is living a life beyond grit. He's a true entrepreneur.
Thank you for your continued support. We have big plans for the coming year, so stick around and make sure to keep sharing your favorite episodes.
 
Thanks for listening.

Julie Carter is an attorney, advocate, and consultant who works mostly with education rights and disability law. She has always worked hard and had a desire to learn. Combine that with the fact that she comes from a family of attorneys, and it is no surprise that she followed a similar path. In this episode, Julie and Rob discuss her family life, personal choices, and the path that led her to law school at Tulane University in Louisiana, to eventually getting married and becoming a mother. Her path was not easy. While at Tulane, Julie experienced tragedy when she lost a close friend to death by #suicide. Julie was forced to face her grief and take a step back from school for a moment. Slowing down was a foreign concept to her, so it was certainly a challenge. It also came with a cost. That season of life shaped her and taught her how to strategize in new ways to “work differently, not harder” as she says. She endured intense grief and experienced setbacks, but the moment she picked herself up and decided it was time to move forward, nothing slowed her down. That was only the beginning. While driving down the road with her mother one weekday morning, she received a “compliment” that would drastically reshape her life. She has an amazing story, and her mother has an interesting way of giving complements. Listen and find out. We hope you enjoy this episode. Make sure to like, rate, review, and tell someone about it. Follow Julie Carter and reach out if you have any legal needs.

Mike Dascal is a North Carolina native who has always had a heart for serving others. He enjoys gathering with friends and family within the community, and he enjoys a doing CrossFit. A few years ago, he combined those passions with an event he hosted at his home. The idea was simple – they would workout then hang out, eat food, and drink beer. They had a massive turnout. The following year, he decided to charge a fee and donated the funds to charity. That was the start of a yearly event, now called Beers and Burpees, which is held to raise money for charity. Two years ago, they launched their own nonprofit, Changing Lives Together (CLT) Foundation, which exists to enrich and change the lives of special needs kids and kids with life-altering medical circumstances. Many programs are offered within the CLT Foundation - a scholarship program, Christmas in July, and Camp CLT. To find out more about these amazing events, or to serve at a future event, visit www.CLTFoundation.org.
