Maui to the mountains is a big leap, and David Carmona made it with a three-year-old, a newborn on the way, and a vision of a life built by hand. We sit down with the man many locals know as “David the Window Man” to talk about what people rarely see behind a home service business: the values, the culture, and the long game. If you care about Black Mountain NC, Asheville small business, or how to build a company people genuinely love, this story delivers both heart and practical insight.

Paul Krause is the kind of person who sees a “safe” job as a launching pad, not a finish line. We talk about how he walked away from stability, moved into a van, and built a working life on the road through sports photography, weekend tournaments, and a constant cycle of planning, driving, setting up, and tearing down. It’s a candid look at van life logistics too, from gym showers to finding legal places to park overnight and dealing with the occasional 3 a.m. knock on the door.

Coaching can feel mysterious until you hear it framed like sports practice for adulthood: clear goals, honest feedback, and small tweaks that compound. We talk with Adam Knapp of Knapp Creative Coaching about transformational coaching, how his decades in teaching shaped the way he listens, and why so many capable people still get stuck wrestling with worthiness and self-perception. If you’ve ever wondered why you “know what to do” but can’t seem to do it, this conversation gives you a practical way to think about change.
