19 - Piper Stromatt: Heritage Meets Innovation - A Journey in Luxury Development
In this episode, we sit down with production partner Piper Stromatt, Co-Founder of Boutique Living by Curate and Design Director of The Civitas Development Group. Piper shares her remarkable evolution from a design-focused creative shaped by her grandmother's influence to a real estate developer and marketing strategist who believes storytelling is everything. "You don't know you've wanted anything until you've had the experience. But trusting the right people to get it there is what it's all about in business," explains Piper, whose intentional marketing strategies are shaping the future for generations of homebuyers.
Discover how she's navigating the intersection of AI and authenticity, why sensory storytelling through video transforms how people connect with homes, and the power of relationship-driven business in a digital world. From her heritage project renovating her family's historic North Carolina lodge to mentoring the next generation of designers at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, Piper reveals how staying grounded in gratitude and human connection keeps her brand real.

18 - 148 Team | Sam Mann: Creative Film Director
From Friday Night Lights to refugee camps in Uganda: In this episode, Sam Mann, the latest addition to the 148 production team, sits down to share his unconventional journey, becoming a storyteller committed to meaningful impact. Sam takes us through the World Race that changed everything, his immersive work documenting vulnerable communities, and why he believes trust matters more than footage.
"What excites me is protecting stories that deserve to be told," shares Sam, whose creative philosophy centers on building genuine relationships with the subjects he documents rather than extracting content for exploitation. "They've all been moments that shifted how I see the world." Sam offers insights into navigating a non-linear career path, surviving wildlife encounters in the Okavango Delta, and why AI works best as a creative tool - not a replacement for human intuition. When he's not behind the camera, you'll find Sam perfecting his hammock setup or contemplating his next big adventure.
