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 ...

2025/12/11

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...

2025/12/04

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...

Ep. 89 - Why Great Harvest Feels Like Home

The B Team Podcast ·

2025/11/13

The smell of fresh bread can change a life. Our guests from Great Harvest NWA share how a spur-of-the-moment lunch on a road trip, followed by a snowy trek to Montana, led them to trade corporate titles for early mornings, warm ovens, and a bakery that already feels like a Bentonville staple. Their why comes through fast: fresh-milled Montana wheat, no preservatives, house-made dressings, and the freedom to create within a “freedom franchise” model that invites personal flair and genuine hosp...

Ep. 88 - Behind the Barrel Selections

The B Team Podcast ·

2025/11/06

Imagine tasting a single barrel so good that you try to convince the distillery to bottle it under a different label. That happened to us with a Rock Hill Farms barrel sample, and it became the spark for a wide-open conversation about how great whiskey actually gets made, picked, and shared. We bring you into the room for private selections at Buffalo Trace, Four Roses, and Nashville Barrel Co., comparing barrel proof to bottled proof and exploring why some bourbons sing at 100–103 proof whi...

2025/10/30

If you’ve ever stared at a $6,000 unicorn behind glass and wondered how anyone actually tastes it, you’ll feel right at home here. We pull back the curtain on a thriving Bentonville bourbon scene where access comes from community, not luck, complete with a speakeasy barn, disciplined barrel selections, and a 100-member club designed to share costs, spread knowledge, and raise glasses together. Mike Hodges walks us through building a space where bottle shares and curated tastings bring people...

Ep. 86 - The Bourbon Market Just Flipped

The B Team Podcast ·

2025/10/23

Borrowed coffee cups, a sherry-finished pour, and a market plot twist: we crack open Horse Neck’s Kentucky Bourbon and unpack why the bourbon world suddenly feels upside down. We’re joined by our resident spirits pro to translate tasting notes into plain English, orange marmalade, licorice, toasted oak, and that cherry-friendly finish, and to explain why this bottle works neat, with a splash, or in an old-fashioned. From there, we zoom out. Shelves that were bare a year ago now show Buffalo ...

A great neighborhood spot doesn’t become an institution by accident. Chef-owner Miles James joins us for a spirited session, pizza in hand, bourbon on the bar, to share how MJ Pizzeria grew from a tight, open-kitchen concept into a regional favorite poised to double in size without closing a single day. We swap stories from his James at the Mill era, dig into why transparent kitchens build trust, and break down the craft behind that beloved Caesar, the true artichoke dip, and a new spicy chic...

2025/10/09

The bottle was hot and the takes were hotter, but beneath the jokes is a story about how courts are bringing people together across Arkansas. We sit down with Andrew Todd, teaching pro turned owner of Generation Sports Construction, to unpack the real work behind the pickleball boom and the quiet renaissance of public parks, private clubs, and even backyards. Andrew walks us through the full build: excavation, grading, concrete, coatings, fencing, lighting, and the practical choices that shi...
