In this episode, we talk to Steve Cassidy about his journey from the Navy to building a specialized gear company. His background includes an early interest in football that led them to Tennessee Tech University, followed by an unexpected decision to join the Navy at age 25.
During his time in the Navy, he gained unique experiences, including 42 days at sea, diving, and jump school training.

How a Husband and Wife Duo Developed a Lifesaving App w/Charles and Holly Roselle:: Ep 214 MMTBP
In this episode, I sat down with Charles and Holly Roselle. Charles is a former member of the Secret Service and served for 16 years during the Bush and Obama administrations. Charles shares interesting stories from his time in the Secret Service. After leaving the Secret Service in 2015, Charles transitioned to the private sector, working in physical security for a biotech company. This experience helped him understand the importance of communicating the value of security to business leaders.
Holly met Charles while he was in the Secret Service. She discusses some challenges of being married to a Secret Service agent, including the unpredictable schedule. She worked at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center during Operation Iraqi Freedom, specifically at the military's Advanced Training Center, which was the amputee center. After her time at Walter Reed, Holly worked with a special operations group in the Washington D.C. area, providing psychological skills training and mental training specifically for combat operations. She transitioned to working as the mental performance specialist for the Navy SEALs out in Coronado, California
Together, Charles and Holly have now developed the Force Field app, which is designed to provide safety and security for lone workers like home health aides and real estate agents. The app allows users to check in and out, with missed check-outs triggering alerts to emergency contacts. They are passionate about creating a culture of safety and valuing employees through their technology solutions.

This episode is dedicated to the memory to Evelyn Dieckhaus, Hallie Scruggs, William Kinney, Katherine Koonce, Mike Hill and Cynthia Peak who lost their lives in the Covenant School shooting in Nashville.
On March 27, 2023, a mass shooting occurred at The Covenant School in the Green Hills neighborhood of Nashville. 28-year-old Aiden Hale (born Audrey Elizabeth Hale), a transgender man and former student of the school, killed three nine‑year‑old children and three adults before being shot and killed by two Metropolitan Nashville Police Department officers.
It is the deadliest mass shooting in Tennessee history.
Brink Fidler owns Defend Systems. His company trains large and small corporations, churches, schools and high profile figures for active violence empowerment and blood loss control.
Brink and I met when he hired me to produce a podcast he had at the time called, “Tips, Tactics and Tools”. We’ve been quite good friends ever since.
A year prior to the Covenant event, Brink and his team performed their training at the Covenant School with their staff. While it’s one thing for Brink to leave each training with the notion that the training could be put to use for any of his clients, it’s another for when it actually happens.

A Middle Tennessee Business Podcast....subscribe/follow/rate/review at www.mmtbp.com
The Mostly Middle Tennessee Business Podcast went remote in a *very* mostly way. We were invited to have a booth at the Music City Drum Show and talk to several drummers, entrepreneurs and manufacturers about the various facets of the music business.
In this special episode, I sat down with Jason Reyes, owner of Kings Customer Drums at the Music City Drum Show.
Jason’s father was a drum collector for years and years. As a child, Jason was always playing on amazing drums. He claims that he was the “weirdo” that took everything apart and wanted to see how things worked. This is where his fascination for drums began.
About 2 years ago, he had the idea to appeal to a niche market that is custom drums with unique tonewoods. With the support of his wife, he jumped into it! Funding it with his collection, of course. He began by selling a lot of his own snares, and over the past year has sold 130 snares!
Jason talks about the educational aspect of his business, teaching drummers about the nuances of different wood types and their unique sounds.
Jason suffers from chronic illness and appreciates the flexibility of owning his own business that he can work on his own schedule. Now empty nesters, Jason and his wife want to explore what doing custom drums full time is like, when his health allows.
The name Kings Custom Drums comes from Jason’s last name, Reyes. Reyes means Kings in Spanish, but he found most people cannot pronounce Reyes so he went with Kings.

Jason Miller is the owner of Christian Brothers Automotive in Spring Hill. He’s been a fan of the podcast for some time now and I was just able to meet him in the last month! After one conversation, I knew I had to have him on. He and I speak the same language in terms of culture creation and just keeping it real.
We discuss his transition from medical device sales to the automotive business with an emphasis on culture, transparency, and customer service. Jason recounts his initial challenges, including low customer turnout and poor team morale, and how he transformed the business by focusing on customer experience and team culture. He highlights his expansion plans, including a second location in Gallatin, and the importance of consistent, honest business practices. Jason also shares his approach to handling negative reviews and maintaining a strong online presence, with a current rating of 4.8 out of 5 stars on Google.

A little over a year ago, Brian Stiles moved to Spring Hill and bought the local Costa Vida franchise. His hurdles so far have been emphasizing the importance of adapting to a new location, managing a team, and maintaining customer trust. Running a small business, particularly in the restaurant industry, is challenging enough. Despite that, Brian has his sights on expanding Costa Vida locations in Tennessee, emphasizing the importance of customer service and having a clear runway for expansion. As always, we discuss various marketing strategies for local restaurants, including utilizing innovative techniques on Instagram for advertising.

Running a restaurant, financial analysis, and business growth. (2:02)

Dave and I had lunch a few weeks ago to discuss this episode and how it would work. He’s a guy with whom I have always been acquainted, but never really talked to, until that lunch. If there’s anyone who knows the longevity it takes to build up business expertise and acumen, it’s Dave.
After cutting his teeth and making a huge mark in the Wisconsin construction industry for most of his life, he decided to move to Tennessee to own and operate a Culver’s restaurant in Franklin. A restaurant with roots…..in Wisconsin!
With over 35 years in construction our founder, Dave Craker, knows the challenge of balancing your square foot requirements, the look/feel you need, and your budget. Dave launched Premier Design Build in 2016 with the goal of solving that challenge for small to mid-sized organizations in Middle Tennessee. Our primary focus is on commercial projects ranging from $750k to $10mm. We work with both individual sites like Churches, Schools and Retail sites, as well as land development projects like our Spring Hill location.
Highlights:
Construction challenges in Wisconsin, including winter conditions and safety measures. (8:05)
Business culture, core values, and vision for a construction company. (26:04)
The importance of employee ownership and retention in a business, with a focus on the trades industry. (31:34)
Training and supervising employees in the trades industry. (35:36)
Running a construction business with a focus on growth and team building. (45:25)

CareyAnn Cyr and I have been friends for quite some time now. So to have her on again is more like a glimpse into a discussion between two good friends. As the Senior Loan Officer with CMG Mortgage in Cool Springs, she is certainly one of the more successful people I know. Her drive is something at which to be marveled.
Lately though, she’s realizing the importance of slowing down to smell the flowers a bit and enjoy her time with her mother, sister and daughter. It’s important to celebrate small victories, setting achievable goals, and adapting to change in various aspects of life. We highlighted the value of self-awareness, validation, and gratitude in overcoming obstacles and maintaining motivation.
Highlights:
Managing multiple roles and goals while maintaining mental and physical health. (5:54)
Business strategies during exercise. (12:54)
Personal branding and building trust in the mortgage industry. (20:51)
Interviewing famous people, including parents and musicians. (58:58)
Mortgages, music, and living life to the fullest. (1:04:12)

The Mostly Middle Tennessee Business Podcast went remote in a *very* mostly way. We were invited to have a booth at the Music City Drum Show and talk to several drummers, entrepreneurs and manufacturers about the various facets of the music business.
In this episode, I sat down with April Samuels with Breast Cancer can STICK It, and she’s a musical entrepreneur of the highest degree!
April picked up her first pair of sticks at age five at Nadine's Music Manor and was enthralled in private drum lessons at the same store by the age of 11 studying under former Bo Diddley/Ice Capades/Fifth Dimension drummer Warren White. April navigated her teens by playing in garage bands with her guitarist brother, Todd. Later, she expanded her study when she majored in music at the University of North Texas.
As she developed her musical style, April co-wrote several songs used in episodes on the show "Outward Bound" on the Discovery Channel. April has since performed, recorded and/or written with 30+ different groups including an album with Matthew Johnson (formerly of Great White), two groups with David Harbour (formerly of Michael Harris, David T. Chastain, King Diamond), two groups with Dave Hineman (formerly of Solinger) and a group with Joey C. Jones.
Since 2012 (aside from a year hiatus from April 2021-June 2022) Samuels has performed up to 120 shows a year across Texas and Louisiana with the 80s spoof-hair-band Metal Shop under the pseudonym "Crash Gordon" . Highlights during her tenure included headlining multiple times at the House of Blues locations in Dallas, Houston and New Orleans, as well as playing for over 15,000 attendees at a San Antonio Spurs watching game at AT&T Center.
April's musical interests don't stop there.
She ran a booking agency, 100 Proof Entertainment from 1989-2010, where she booked over 50 different regional bands - handling as many bands as 13 at one time. Because of this interest, she attended several seminars, exhibits, and music industry functions through the Dallas Songwriters Association, Austin Songwriters Group, South by Southwest the Sony R&B Workshop, and NAMM to name a few.
April has also worked for Planet Dallas Studios (Dallas, TX) in the Publishing Department, worked as a salesperson for Texas Beat Magazine (Austin, TX), and was the assistant booking agent for the former club, The Basement (Dallas, TX).
Currently, Samuels plays full-time with Metal Shop as well as Rebel Yell - The Tribute to Billy Idol, is the touring drummer for Just Like P!nk - The P!NK Experience, plays with two original bands (49th Vibration and her recently revived band BULLITT originally established in 2006), as well as playing fundraisers with her cover band, The Breast Cancer Can Stick It! Band. April was diagnosed with a rare, aggressive form of breast cancer in 2010 and immediately combined her passion for drums with her personal fight against cancer by founding her nonprofit organization Breast Cancer Can Stick It! Foundation, Inc.. April has been cancer-free since her mastectomy in November of 2010. Through performing shows, collaborating with celebrities for fundraisers, guest appearances and speaking events, April rocks year round both behind and in front of the drums.

We meet and work for a lot of managers who show you how to do things wrong. They’re typically more self-centered and believe their team is in place to “make them look good”. (That was actually said to us in a staff meeting one time by a brand new manager.)
Then there are those managers who show you how to do things the right way. They’re the ones who embody what I call #BeThemCentric. They believe it *isn’t* about them. It’s about the team and providing what the team needs to do their jobs and accomplish their goals for the business.
I met Steve Brink while I was working in the Nashville radio industry. To say that he was a huge catalyst for some major changes in my life is a MASSIVE understatement. I credit him for bringing me into the car business in 2013, which profoundly changed my life. He was the General Manager of Crest Honda in Nashville at the time. Steve and his superior, Brian Palmer, who was the General Manager of Crest Cadillac and the Market Manager of Sonic Automotive Nashville, really built teams in both stores that fostered one of the best and healthy cultures I had ever seen.
And that says something for the car business where healthy culture building seems to always come last.
When my other colleagues in the business heard that I was having Steve on the show, the outpouring of eagerness to reconnect with him was amazing. He’s touched a lot of lives and I think he’ll touch yours in this episode.
Highpoints:
Leadership, culture, and the military. (4:03)
Leadership, responsibility, and perseverance in the automotive industry. (8:38)
Car sales career and industry changes over 20 years. (11:53)
Mentorship, growth, and problem-solving in the car sales industry. (20:26)
Unhealthy sales tactics in the car industry. (28:18)
Starting a business and overcoming challenges with a friend. (53:48)’
The importance of skilled labor and vocational training. (1:11:11)

I met Ray Jeter a few months ago at a Maury County Commission meeting. I was impressed with his earnest desire to make sure Maury County, which has been experiencing unprecedented growth along with most of Middle Tennessee, to maintain its rural roots and charm mixed with suburban enterprise.
To say that Ray Jeter’s roots are firmly planted in Maury County is quite an understatement.
When Ray was three years old, his family relocated their concrete business to middle Tennessee, laying the foundation for his future endeavors in Maury County.
He met his future wife-to-be in Kindergarten! His formative years were spent in the humble surroundings of the Maury County trailer park, American Mobile Village. It was here that he first encountered the life-altering power of faith, guided by Pastor John Rushing.
Later, at a local church, he rekindled his connection with God and reunited with Courtney, his kindergarten sweetheart, forging a bond that would withstand the tests of time.
Ray enrolled in Bible College immediately after graduation. After just three semesters in Bible College, Ray proposed to Courtney, and they were married on March 16, 2002.
In 2009, Ray joined the Maury County Sheriff’s Department as a reserve deputy, later earning a full-time appointment as a patrol deputy in 2011. In August 2014, he was elevated to the position of Chief Deputy Sheriff.
Fueled to effect positive change in his community, Ray campaigned for and won the Maury County Commission seat in 2022. With unwavering determination and a steadfast commitment to public service, he now sets his sights on a new endeavor, campaigning for TN State Representative, driven by a vision of Maury First.
Follow Ray:
www.mauryfirst.com
Highpoints:
Growth and development in a small town. (8:19)
Childhood experiences, work ethic, and financial struggles. (15:04)
Entrepreneurship, recession, and career changes. (18:06)
Political campaign and representing constituents. (35:23)
Political polarization and the need for empathy and understanding in government. (40:53)
Generational differences and the impact of political polarization. (45:10)
Government structure, democracy vs. constitutional republic, and Second Amendment interpretation. (55:41)
