Jim Hunt
<p>Host Dave Fiore sits down with Jim Hunt, founder of Serve Strong and a familiar presence in Tallahassee's business and civic community for nearly three decades. Jim will tell you he is a relationship person first. The job titles just kind of followed. <br /> Jim grew up a military kid, moving every four or five years before his family settled in Melbourne Beach. He came to FSU planning on law school and took a part-time teller job at Capital City Bank that turned into a career that lasted two decades. Then one thing led to the next — the commercial internet before most people knew what a website was, time in marketing at the Moore Agency and 223, and even a stint helping bring cloud computing to Tallahassee.</p> <p>Along the way he chaired United Way of the Big Bend, led Leadership Tallahassee and served on boards across the city. Not because it was good for business, but because he watched his parents serve their community growing up. </p> <p>Last year he launched Serve Strong, a leadership and strategic advisory, and landed his first client before he had told anyone what he was doing. </p> <p>Dave and Jim talk about service, community and what it looks like to build a career around other people and then figure out what comes next. </p> <p><strong>Contact Information</strong></p> <ul> <li class="MsoNormal"><a href="https://servestrong.com/" target= "_blank" rel="noopener">Serve Strong Website</a></li> <li class="MsoNormal"><a href= "https://www.linkedin.com/company/serve-strong/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">LinkedIn</a></li> </ul> <p class="MsoNormal"> <strong>_________________________________</strong></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><strong>Thanks for listening to Tallahassee's Podcast.</strong></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><strong>Enjoying the conversation?</strong> Please share this episode.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><strong>Love the show?</strong> Please leave a rating and review on <a href= "https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/how-i-got-here-with-dave-fiore/id1481912768" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Apple Podcasts.</a> </p> <p class="MsoNormal"><strong>About the Podcast:</strong></p> <p class="MsoNormal">How I Got Here is hosted by Dave Fiore and features Tallahassee leaders, entrepreneurs and changemakers sharing the experiences and pivotal moments that shaped their journey.

Nicole Everett
<p>Host Dave Fiore sits down with Nicole Everett, creator and host of "Conversations with Nicole" — a Tallahassee-based show on YouTube that started as a series of weekly lunches with photos posted on Facebook. It grew into a platform with a Roku channel, a local TV run and an audience that has followed her through every evolution.</p> <p>Nicole has spent most of her adult life in rooms where people needed someone to really listen. Fifteen years at the Tallahassee Lenders Consortium helping first-time homebuyers get mortgage-ready and into their first homes. Seven years at Florida Housing Finance Corporation overseeing three statewide foreclosure programs. And a decade of sit-down conversations that have a way of going places guests never quite expected.</p> <p>She grew up in North Dade County — the first Black family on her block in a neighborhood that turned out to be as diverse in culture as it was in cuisine. FAMU brought her to Tallahassee, but her career and the community she experienced here made it home.</p> <p>"Conversations with Nicole" found her during a quieter season — after her son left for college and she started exploring, taking classes, going to poetry shows and just figuring out what came next. The answer was 10 seasons of the show and counting with episodes that impact the dialog in our community.</p> <p>Dave and Nicole talk about community, mental health, homeownership and what it really means to hold space for people — because for Nicole, the show was never really about production. It was always about the conversation.</p> <p><strong>Show Notes</strong></p> <ul> <li><a href="https://nicoleeverett.com/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">Website</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/nicoleeverettmedia" target="_blank" rel="noopener">LinkedIn</a></li> <li><a href="https://youtube.com/@conversationswithnicole6334" target="_blank" rel="noopener">YouTube</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.facebook.com/conversationswithnicole" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Facebook</a></li> <li><a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/03OQHY16qezrPiXeKfP1EO" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Spotify</a></li> <li><a href= "https://podcasts.apple.com/ph/podcast/conversations-with-nicole/id1641892729" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Apple Podcast</a><strong> </strong></li> </ul> <p class="MsoNormal"> <strong>_________________________________</strong></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><strong>Thanks for listening to Tallahassee's Podcast.</strong></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><strong>Enjoying the conversation?</strong> Please share this episode.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><strong>Love the show?</strong> Please leave a rating and review on <a href= "https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/how-i-got-here-with-dave-fiore/id1481912768" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Apple Podcasts.</a> </p> <p class="MsoNormal"><strong>About the Podcast:</strong></p> <p class="MsoNormal">How I Got Here is hosted by Dave Fiore and features Tallahassee leaders, entrepreneurs and changemakers sharing the experiences and pivotal moments that shaped their journey.
