Hustleburg Episode 41 – Interview with The Body Electric’s Katelyn Grady

“It’s a More Spectacular Way to Connect With People.”

Much like yoga’s ability to merge our bodies and our minds, in this episode The Body Electric Yoga and Athletic Company‘s Katelyn Grady shares how she and her partner Jenny Miller found how they could combine their passion for mindful fitness and their careers. Studying spirituality and philosophy in college, Katelyn sought to share that knowledge and way of living with as many people as possible. Once she found that could pursue her passion as her work, the yoga studio was born.

The Body Electric Yoga and Athletic Companies

“Your Light Lights Other People Up.”

Motivated to light up as many others as possible, the pair grew The Body Electric beyond the studio, reaching out in the community with free classes at the Sundial, the Pier, and throughout St. Pete to get their name and their style of practice into the minds and bodies of the yoga community. In early 2020, they expanded to include the offerings of a “baby gym,” bringing the same approach to fitness workouts that they used for yoga practice. As with most small businesses in 2020, the name of the game has been to pivot to find a sustainable model going forward. 

In this episode, Katelyn mentions that every Saturday at 2 PM, The Body Electric partners with the Urban Yoga Foundation for the People’s Practice, a “pay what you can” practice that benefits the foundation.

Hustleburg Episode 37 – Interview with St. PetersBARK!’s Krista Schmidt

“You Are What You Eat… For Our Pets as Well”

With so many options for feeding our pets, enriching their lives with a quality food that can promote good health, Krista Schmidt seeks to share natural pet foods with the pet community of Saint Petersburg. She created St. PetersBARK!, a pet market offering a full-scale selection of healthy dog and cat provisions paired with incredible customer service. Today, the pet market is packed with hand-selected natural food (whether raw, kibble, canned, or freeze-dried), treats from local vendors, and pet accessories. 

In this episode of Hustleburg, you’ll hear how Krista went “city shopping” in Florida to find the best place to start her business. Saint Petersburg’s small business-friendly environment and vibrant pet community drew her, and she launched St. PetersBARK! in 2015 after a year of making all-natural dog treats in her home. 

Passion for the health of our pets also includes hosting a low-cost veterinary clinic, nail trims, and non-anesthetic dental cleanings on a regular basis. 

Passion for their customers includes an annual BARK!toberfest Customer Appreciation Event, expanded to be three days in 2020 to ensure a COVID-safer experience, October 9-11. This Facebook event offers even more information about this year’s event.

Hustleburg Episode 35 – Interview with Apex Care Pharmacy’s Dr. Nirav Mehta

“I Saw That There is a Need for Patient Education”

After seeing his uncle’s pharmacy thrive in India, Dr. Nirav Mehta set out to make sure his pharmacy patients have all the information about what they’re taking, possible side effects, and any potential interactions from prescriptions across their health network. With a goal of being St. Pete’s hometown pharmacy, Dr. Mehta works to stand out from the other pharmacies in town. He and his team work to make patients feel welcome, appreciated, and informed about their medicines.

In this episode of Hustleburg, you’ll hear it all from him. As we saw with other professional service providers, like Dr. Jenna Elwart, business education isn’t a part of their training, which focuses more on the rigors of treating their patients. Working hard to differentiate his pharmacy and providing the care his patients need drives Dr. Mehta’s thriving business here in Saint Petersburg.

Hustleburg Episode 33 – Interview with Pop Goes the Waffle’s Sara Fludd

“I Don’t Have to Have All the Answers”

Three years into Pop Goes the Waffle, Sara Fludd is making all the right moves to build her waffle empire here in Saint Petersburg. From how perfecting recipes to using the early days to conduct market research to best know her customers, she’s worked to build a wholesale operation, get the food truck up and running, and grow her brand. 

In this episode of Hustleburg, you’ll hear it all from her. Whether adapting to new circumstances or finding the answer to a problem, she shares how to adapt when things don’t go as planned, find the right people to know how to help, and help others find their way, even in the chaos and uncertainty of 2020.

Hustleburg Episode 31 – Interview with Ace High Printing’s Rick Herbert

“It was literally trial by fire.”

It isn’t every day that you meet a business owner that fell into their line of work. In this episode of Hustleburg, you’ll hear from Rick Herbert, owner of Ace High Printing, about how he went from doing freelance computer networking for a print shop to managing the place in three weeks. He hasn’t looked back and has spent the last 16 years building and growing a successful printing operation. 

You may remember Rick from the St. Pete: OPEN for Business chats back in April, where he talked about helping fellow small businesses cope with and survive the uncertainty amid the economic shutdowns. In this expanded conversation, we talk about how he found a niche not being served well and grew it into a thriving business.

Hustleburg Episode 29 – Interview with Banyan Bookkeeping’s Sara Evans

“I Realized I Could Start My Own Business Helping Small Businesses”

Always a helper, Banyan Bookkeeping‘s Sara Evans found herself needing a refreshed sense of purpose after an 18-year career in social work. After intense scrutiny, she started her own bookkeeping services business, helping other small businesses focus on what they specialize in, instead of something they want nothing to do with. While it may be tedious work, Sara’s focus is to help your business by letting you get back to the part of the business that you love. 

You may remember Sara from a bonus episode back in April, featuring the audio of the St. Pete: OPEN for Business chats. In this expanded conversation, she shares her affinity for working with “the trades,” and helping them get to the important work of plumbing or HVAC repair, rather than spending hours scouring Quickbooks.
