This week on Zero to Ten, we're getting real with ya and talking about a difficult topic: divorce. Shit happens, people grow apart and it's tough as hell, but it can force you to grow. Everyone, meet Melissa Brokaw, a member of the #hyggefam and half the team over at Well-Run Media. About two years ago, Melissa got divorced after nearly 20 years with her husband. It was a pretty dramatic change for her, and since then she's gone through a period of growth, to the point where Melissa says a lot of people don't even recognize her anymore.

Sales lead by day, farmer by night (and morning). World, meet Jacob Felts, a member of the #hyggefam who works remotely for Safewood Designs at our hygge jay street location. He does some pretty cool stuff at work, don't get us wrong, but we had him on the Zero to Ten podcast this week to talk about something different. A few months ago, Jacob and his wife decided to fulfill a dream that started out as a joke: buy a farm, homestead the land and grow/raise their own food. Totally cool, right?

That means Jacob starts his day out early with his farm chores, which include walking the goats to the pasture, feeding the laying chickens they have, taking care of the barn cats, feeding the rabbits and so much more, all before heading in to the office for a full day. Then, at the end of the day, he's back outside and doing more work, like fixing up the barn, clearing his acres of land, chainsawing trees... the list never ends. His story is cool as hell, though, especially because they've learned how to do every bit of it through YouTube. Head to the link in our bio to give it a listen and learn all about what goes into running a huge farm part time, and follow along with their progress at The Felts Farm.

World, meet brothers Khaleel and Maleek Loyd, two of the three dynamic guys behind Loyd Visuals. The pair founded their company with their third brother, Najm a few years ago.

Have you ever been walking at a convenience store and wonder what playlist is playing? This is Steven Pilker. At the hygge 3rd ward location, he and his colleagues have a sticky note on the door saying they're working on a secret project, but today, we're not going to talk about that. Instead, on this week's Zero to Ten we're talking about how Stephen used to create music playlists for national brands. Basically, he'd develop playlists for everything from stores to campaigns. It helped him learn that there's good music in every single genre and figure out the best ways to find new music. Even now, he still goes to record stores like @tiptopmarketnc on bad days to check out new music and de-stress. It sounds like a damn cool job.

Anytime you see Meg Seitz she'll likely ask you a simple question: what's the gossip? The whole idea is to get a more interesting response than if she were to ask "how are you doing?" Having been asked this question ourselves - it totally works. She'll also be rocking 3 different watches, one of which doesn't work any more, and several bracelets up the length of her arm, every single one has a story.
 
This week on the Zero to Ten podcast, we're catching up with the incredible owner of Toth Shop, the second half of Toth and Fay and the very first ever member of the #hyggefam to learn a bit more about her idiosyncrasies - because honestly, they're pretty cool.

We introduced you to her before, but let's recap: she's a badass keynote speaker, president of her own company, an expert in millennial and gen z leadership and a brand new author. All around she's crushing the game, and we were honored to have her on this week's Zero to Ten episode talking about what it's like to have to change her work process due to her epileptic seizures, her writing process and road blocks she faced during the marathon of writing and self-publishing her book Leading Your Parents: 25 Rules to Effective Multigenerational Leadership for Millennials and Gen Z.

A brilliant man (Michael Scott) once said, “Sometimes you have to take a break from being the kind of boss that's always trying to teach people things. Sometimes you have to just be the boss of dancing.” If Charlotte has one boss of dancing, it’s Aaron Dodge. On this week’s Zero to Ten, Mary talks to him about what it’s like to come out of your shell and upload videos of himself dancing on Instagram for the whole dang world to see, and also what it’s like to be the only guy twerking in chakti yoga.

Last year, Tommy of Woodward Homes decided to make 2019 the year he's worked harder than ever before: in his businesses and in life.

The goal: to feel like he's working at his fullest potential and that he did everything he could during his life. You can hear all about how it's going + why he decided to make this change on our latest Zero to Ten podcast episode with Mary Johnson.

It's fitting our first ever episode is about photographer extraordinaire Julia Murray - the person behind pretty much every hygge picture you see + the creator of the hygge jingle you'll hear at the beginning of every podcast. She sat down with our host, Mary about her singing (that's right, she used to do it professionally!) + talking about how narrowed her business to focus on what she wants to photograph vs. just saying yes to every opportunity. Basically, it's some good shit.
