To subscribe to Hustleburg video interviews, please click here.

Often, people with chronic pain, neuropathy, and a variety of other issues not addressed by their earlier course of medical treatment seek out acupuncture for relief. Dr. Rebecca Gibbons, AP, DOM, RN began her practice, Achieve Acupuncture and Integrative Medicine, to serve those patients who have tried everything else but have had little success, as she integrates her Western medicine background with Eastern medicine strategies.

“Surround yourself with people are going to challenge you”

For many professional services, the focus of their post-graduate education is on the direct application of their study, with business practices and application being an afterthought. Dr. Gibbons shares that her story is no different, learning about the business side of things in her practice and that simply opening the doors doesn’t mean that the patients will start coming in.

As COVID and the pandemic-related shutdowns kept many at home in 2020, Madison Blake started her blossoming bakery, Maddie’s Cakes, as a side hustle, preferring to “start slow.” That intentionality allows her to fully work through each business decision and give each step her full attention.

Whether a cake for your birthday, brownies for the office, or cookies as a gift, everything is customizable and made to order. Additionally, it’s delivered to you, if local. For those outside the Tampa Bay area, you can order a cake for delivery through the website.

“Small Now.. Wanna Be Big”

Growth is most definitely on Madison’s mind, as she takes the steps necessary to grow, keeping the ever-changing business climate and prevailing consumer attitudes in mind. You should expect to see Maddie’s Cakes grow into the business of her wildest dreams.

Hustleburg Episode 47 – Interview with Marsalisi Law’s Frank Marsalisi

“I’m Born and Raised in the Community, and Any Way I Can Give Back”

Having always had aspirations of opening his own law firm, Frank Marsalisi returned to his native Saint Petersburg after law school at the University of Pittsburgh. He came home to serve his community by opening a personal injury firm on Central Avenue. Giving back to the community where he was born and raised is evident with the personal, one-on-one attention for his clients’ personal injury legal needs.

Hear Frank Marsalisi on Hustleburg

“As an Entrepreneur, Your Business is Always on Your Mind. 24/7.”

As we’ve found with many professional services providers (attorneys, pharmacists, and therapists) in prior Hustleburg interviews, the business side of their entrepreneurial efforts isn’t taught in grad school, rather IN the field itself. With experience at other firms prior to starting his own, as well as a strong group of mentors, family, and support staff, Frank harnessed that entrepreneurial desire in opening his own firm.

Hustleburg Episode 45 – Interview with Blush Tea and Coffee’s Lori Bishop

“People were looking for a reason to get out and make a connection”

Even the most introverted people are social creatures, and they desire community, even a small one. In this episode, Blush Tea and Coffee‘s Lori Bishop shares how she left her 9-5 job in the corporate world to build a retail tea and coffee shop here in Saint Petersburg. Learning as she went, Blush Tea and Coffee offers tea and coffee lovers the opportunity to embrace their love of their favorite hot beverage while being a part of the community that populates Blush’s cafe.

“Bringing people together”

After being turned onto tea by her daughter, Lori combined her desire to bring the people of Saint Petersburg together with her newfound love of tea without leaving behind her longtime coffee-drinking roots. Adding pastries and loose-leaf tea in her retail space to the mix, as well as an e-commerce option for those looking to have their favorite teas shipped, Lori and her team serve a wide variety of tastes throughout Saint Petersburg and beyond. 

Sharing her biggest lessons learned, Lori offers a look at the difficulties of building a new business and the patience it requires. That prepared her for the pivots necessary to adapt to the challenges that the COVID pandemic and various stages of shutting down and re-opening brought about.

Hustleburg Episode 43 – Interview with My Mathematical Mind’s Deborah Peart #BlackWomenRockMath

“If not me, then who?”

Most people don’t actually hate math, rather they hate the bad experiences they’ve had with math as it’s been presented to them. Deborah Peart of My Mathematical Mind works with teachers and students who feel like they just “aren’t math people” to develop lasting positive math identities, and improve achievement in mathematics. Often, it’s a matter of not having questions answered, as Deborah experienced in her early childhood education, which silences the student as their curiosity and interest is dampened.

My Mathematical Mind's Deborah Peart

“Why Are Your Students so Excited About Math?”

When your peers in the education field ask you that question, you know you’re doing something right. Whether it’s the one-on-one coaching with elementary school-aged students, mentorship with educators, or the scholarship and public speaking on the subject, My Mathematical Mind offers the tools to create and nurture educational environments that grow confidence around mathematics.
