About the Show:At I am Northwest Arkansas, we love both Tea and Coffee. They are both beverages that we enjoy every morning. Sometimes we mix it up and do a week of tea and a week of coffee. It just depends on how we feel.  We recently sat down with an expert in Tea and Tea Making, Ola Atilola from ASAMI Teas. ASAMI Teas is a local Tea company specializing in teas from the African continent.  According to Ola, his goal is to provide healthy teas to the broadest audience possible.  “Our goal is to promote a healthier lifestyle based on centuries-old cultures of tea drinking in Africa.  Before modern medicine, healthy eating was the path to a healthy life on the African continent.  Let us reintroduce you to our healthy lifestyle choices today.” From the ASAMI Teas website The bottom line is the teas are simply good! They offer an assortment of Rooibos, Green Tea, and Black Teas to satisfy any palate. ASAMI’s teas are refreshing and healthy for you. Try them out for yourself and support a local Tea company that started right here in Northwest Arkansas.  Important Links and Mentions on the Show*Email Ola AtilolaWebsite for ASAMI TeasASAMI Teas on Walmart.comASAMI Teas on Amazon.comWebsite for Leverett LoungeWebsite for Bite and Bowl This episode is sponsored by*Signature Bank of Arkansas "Community Banking at its Best!"

About the Show:On this episode of the I am Northwest Arkansas podcast, we sit down with Brian Squire, who recently relocated to Fayetteville with his wife, Dena. Brian and Dena are both avid cyclists, and they are managing to make it here in Northwest Arkansas without a car.  Yes, they get around on two wheels, and they are having a ton of fun doing it.  Brian is not a stranger to commuting on a Bicycle as he did it for almost 30 years while living and working in Cleveland, Ohio.  Cleveland, where it snows!  Brian is a brave soul, but he said the transition to just relying on his bike for transportation was an easy one here in Northwest Arkansas. The extensive trail system between Fayetteville and Bella Vista has served as an incredible backdrop as he learns his way around the area.  If nothing else, Brian hopes to convince some of our podcast listeners that the bike culture in NWA is strong enough to support someone who is bicycle dependent.  He’s got some great stories to share, and we hope you find some inspiration while listening.  Who knows, you may run into Brian and me on the trail one day!All this and more on this episode of the I am Northwest Arkansas Podcast. Important Links and Mentions on the Show*Email Brian SquireWebsite for Bike NWAWebsite for Phat Tire Bike Shop This episode is sponsored by*Signature Bank of Arkansas "Community Banking at its Best!"

About the Show:We recently sat down with Orson Weems and Greg Thompson from the Music Education Initiative to learn about their desire to expose young people to a career path in music. According to Weems and Thompson, there are numerous pathways for young people to learn about the music industry and how they can get involved. Of course, we know the typical path of writing, recording, and performing music, but there are other ways to work in the industry, including safety, audio, lighting, and live performances. Participating in this workforce development program will give young people a leg up on building music industry relationships and a chance to gain higher than minimum wage entry-level employment. Click Here to Register for the next Workforce Development Event All this and more on this episode of I am Northwest Arkansas.Important Links and Mentions on the Show*Email Orson WeemsEmail Greg Thompson EmailWebsite for Music Education InitiativeMusic Education Initiative on InstagramMusic Education Initiative on TwitterThis episode is sponsored by*Signature Bank of Arkansas "Community Banking at its Best!"
