Inside The Pallet House Podcast — Not All Talent is Created Equal
When it comes to jewelry Mr. T’s signature necklace is always in style, but bracelets seem to be hit or miss. We discover a very old brewery that has found an interesting way to modernize without sacrificing its past, and another beer that appears to be in the wrong industry all together. An odd talent pops up into the conversation, and gets us a bit sidetracked. The world lost one of the greatest boxers of all time, but the legacy he leaves behind is a bit more complicated than his record in the ring. We also learn that the person who finds you after you pass matters more than you might think to the legacy that you yourself will leave behind. Another conspiracy theory finds its way to the show, but this one comes from one of the smartest people on earth…and from a movie from the 90’s.

In 2005, I created RVA Magazine, and I'm still at the helm as its publisher. From day one, it’s been about pushing the “RVA” identity, celebrating the raw creativity and grit of this city.
