Best of B Team: Luxury Wellness: The Woodhouse Spa...

The B Team Podcast ·

2026/04/09

You can tell when a city is growing fast because the “nice to have” things quickly become the “how are we living without this” things. That’s where we start: why Woodhouse Spa decided to open in Rogers, and why Northwest Arkansas needed more than quick, in-and-out appointments. We’re chasing the idea of a complete spa day, the kind you do with friends or as a couple, where the calm starts at the door and keeps building. We get specific about what makes Woodhouse different, from the welcome r...

Ep. 104 - Layoff to Brewery: Dan Clous's Journey to...

The B Team Podcast ·

2026/04/02

You can learn a lot about a place by what it drinks and how it builds community around it. We sit down with Dan Clous, co-founder of Natural State Beer Company in Bentonville, to trace the unlikely path from a vendor career to homebrewing in a basement to opening a brewery right off the trails at Village on the Creeks. Dan breaks down why Arkansas is “The Natural State,” why their taproom is built around a “brew with a view,” and why they intentionally bet on lagers when so much of craft beer...

The B Team Podcast ·

2026/03/26

Bentonville is changing so fast that even locals can miss the scale of what’s being built right in front of them. We sit down with a longtime Northwest Arkansas real estate leader who came to town in 1992 as a Walmart engineer, then quickly pivoted into the deal world when the company’s store growth went into overdrive. The result is part personal story, part behind-the-scenes look at how massive commercial growth actually gets executed. We get specific about the Walmart home office developm...

Ep. 103 - Shark Tank Reality: Beyond the Handshake

The B Team Podcast ·

2026/03/19

The Shark Tank edit makes it look smooth, but the real experience is quiet, intense, and a lot longer than you think. We talk with the founder of Foam Cooler, Chad Lee, the Bentonville-based product developer who walked into the Tank, ran his cooler over with a steamroller, and then had to negotiate for real while doing rapid-fire math on the spot. He explains what’s scripted, what absolutely isn’t, and how founders get coached to stay authentic when the questions are designed to provoke a re...

Best of B Team: From Homebrew Naivety to Brewery Reality

The B Team Podcast ·

2026/03/12

This week on The Best of B Team, we're throwing it back to our episode with Jeff, owner and founder of Bike Rack Brewing Co. Imagine the sun on your shoulders, a cold pint in hand, and a reason to show up, this conversation lives where small batches meet big community energy. We crack open a limited summer release designed for poolside afternoons and talk about why keeping it scarce pushes people off the couch and out to the farm to taste it fresh. From the first sip, the strategy is clear: l...

Ep. 102 - Driving John Daly: Life as Limo Joe Pt. 2

2026/03/05

Ever wonder what celebrity travel really looks like from the driver’s seat? Welcome back to part 2 with Joe Washington! We're back with Limo Joe, the man stars call when they land in Northwest Arkansas, for a raw, funny, and surprisingly tender tour through bus bays, back roads, and packed clubhouses. From the first time he piloted John Daly’s bus, ending in a heart-stopping crunch in an Ohio parking lot, to threading through New York City’s low bridges with fans swarming at gas stations, Joe...

2026/02/26

Power often rides in the backseat, and Joe Washington has spent years at the wheel. We kick off season three with the trusted driver behind Northwest Arkansas’s most intriguing routes, funded early by Don Tyson, introduced to Alice Walton as “my friend Joe,” and frequently answering calls that start with “President for Don Tyson.” Joe shares how a simple code, safety first, discretion always, turned an ordinary service into a career that spans yachts in Italy, private airport pickups, and lat...

Best of B Team: Writing "The Book": Jenny Marrs’...

The B Team Podcast ·

2026/02/19

What turns a house into a story you can hold? In this recap episode, we look back at our episode with Jenny Marrs for a warm, funny, and honest look at how a five-year writing journey became a memoir stitched from rooms, rituals, and the small moments that define family. Instead of design rules and trends, Jenny frames each chapter around a lived memory; the living room on Christmas morning, the spaces that carry laughter, mess, and meaning, creating a keepsake her kids can open years from no...

The B Team Podcast ·

2026/02/12

Super Bowl energy meets real community impact as we crack open prop bets, swap bourbon notes, and rally behind TASC’s All-In casino night, our favorite way to turn a rowdy room into real support for teens in Northwest Arkansas. We start with light-hearted Jets nostalgia and a wager sheet that could cost us twenty bucks, then jump straight into why this event works: it’s joyful, it’s social, and every laugh helps fund counseling, after-school programs, and life skills for kids who need a stead...

2026/02/05

A jeweler launching his own Prosecco sounds unexpected, until you hear how celebration sits at the heart of both. We sit down with Ben from Blakeman’s to trace the path from showroom sparkle to $24 bubbles on local shelves, and why that choice wasn’t about chasing prestige but designing for real moments people share. From the first pop to the final sip, he shows how taste, value, and presentation combine into a brand experience that feels premium without feeling out of reach. We dig into the...

The B Team Podcast ·

2026/01/29

A blueberry wheat became a state legend, but the real story starts in a classroom. We sit with Flyway’s founder, an English teacher turned brewer, to unpack how a garage hobby grew into Arkansas’s bestselling Blue Wing and a new taproom on Walmart’s cutting‑edge campus. It’s a ride through fate, focus, and the Mississipi Flyway that inspired the brand’s identity. We get into the early batches, the community garden, and the moment a random gas station cooler confirmed the beer had a life of i...

The B Team Podcast ·

2026/01/22

Bourbon in hand, we take aim at a tender truth: kids don’t break marriages, unspoken change does. We sit with Mark and Bri, the duo behind Intimacy Evolution, to unpack how partners drift from lovers to roommates and how to stitch connection back into a life run by diapers, deadlines, and depleted energy. They share what most couples miss, bonding timelines differ, resentment hides under tiny fights, and presence beats problem-solving. You’ll hear the 4 H’s to ask for the right kind of suppor...

The B Team Podcast ·

2026/01/15

A hundred episodes later, the energy feels different, in the best way. We unpack a year that stretched us and grounded us: restaurant openings that set a new bar for Bentonville, a brewery moving in next door to the new campus, and community events that turned goodwill into real impact. Along the way we laugh through the chaos, Bobby’s empty chair, a fire alarm mid-haircut, and a not-so-secret “VIP stash” moment; because the inside jokes only work when the community outside the studio is grow...

Ep. 96 - Fondue, Family, and a Bold Leap

The B Team Podcast ·

2026/01/08

A sparkling square, a family caravan, and a risky idea that turned into a community magnet. We sit down with Chad, a former hospital executive who moved from California to Northwest Arkansas and opened a locally owned Melting Pot in Rogers. What started as a sarcastic date-night comment became a full-on leap into hospitality: with a design built for connection and a menu that makes you put the phone down and pick up a fondue fork. We explore why Northwest Arkansas checked every box for raisi...

Ep. 95 - Seahorses, Fry Pies, and Bentonville Buzz

The B Team Podcast ·

2026/01/01

Downtown Bentonville just got a new reason to rally. We sit down with the force behind Fry, a hidden-in-plain-sight bar at 100 SW 2nd Street, built on a simple promise: keep prices fair, keep service quick, and make it easy for people to gather. Think a $7 old fashioned, a lunch-and-a-pint target around $12, and a menu anchored by focaccia-based “fry pies” designed for speed without sacrificing flavor. We unpack the location’s advantages, it's steps from First Seat, Barley & Vine, and a ...

Ep. 94 - Bourbon, Business & $100K Nights

The B Team Podcast ·

2025/12/18

A bourbon night that starts with Pappy Van Winkle and ends with purpose doesn’t happen by accident. We pulled back the curtain on how a fourth-year charity tasting in Bentonville raised around $100,000 while keeping the room small, the music live, and the vibe unmistakably warm. From a honey-finished Buffalo Trace that opened up with a few drops of water to VIP bottles at every seat, every detail was designed to turn great pours into generous bids without feeling pushy. We brought in Scotty ...

A granola shot that goes down like bourbon and lands like a health upgrade. We bring Gita, the founder of Gut BFF, into the studio with Gabby to taste three flavors, Honey Glow, Apple Cinnamon Raisin, and Chocolate Peanut Butter, and dig into the big idea behind the crunch: 20 different plant ingredients per bag, designed to help you get closer to the 30-plants-per-week guideline from the American Gut Study. Gita shares how food-first changes helped her navigate insulin resistance and post-C...

Bourbon on the table, big ideas in the air. We sit down with an award-winning filmmaker who left Southern California for Northwest Arkansas and break down, step by step, how a small, collaborative community can grow into a real film hub. Between a honey-finished Buffalo Trace taste test and a few jabs at our missing co-hosts, we dig into the practical levers that matter to creators and investors alike: Arkansas’s cash rebate incentive, easy access to locations, and a surprisingly deep bench o...

2025/11/27

What if clean eating didn’t mean bland food, complicated meal prep, or $15 drive‑thru compromises? We sit down with Stu of Stu's Clean Cooking, a veteran who shed 100 pounds and turned his personal transformation into a fast‑growing meal company that serves up real food at real‑world prices. He breaks down the simple framework that actually sticks: whole ingredients, smart portions, and options you’ll want to eat again tomorrow. We get candid about the science and the traps. Stu explains why...

2025/11/20

A caramel-apple bourbon toast opens the door to a story that hits harder than cinnamon: growing up in a restrictive church, feeling unseen, and transforming that past into a mission to build belonging at scale. Our guest—known to thousands as “Queenie B”—breaks down how a simple idea became a million-view movement that helps singles connect and small businesses grow without buying ads. We unpack the playbook behind Queenie Connects, the singles social group that ditched awkward first dates f...
