Brett Bittner
Hi Hustleburg listeners! As you’ve likely heard in response the state and county voters here in St. Pete, businesses are having to be quite creative to remain open, to help those that have adapted and working to let our community know who is open for business with a listing of businesses who are open at St. Pete open for business calm. As a part of that effort. Every weekday, I’m hosting a brief video call with the businesses adapting how they do things to meet the ever changing rules and Ciao of staying open in the midst of the COVID-19 crisis. For Hustleburg listeners, I’ll package the audio and a compilation of those conversations with some pretty creative local business people in a bonus episode like this. And if you’re a small business here in St. Pete or anywhere in Pinellas County, and you want the community to know that you’re open for business, visit St. Pete open for business comm slash open, and I’ll get you on listing as soon as possible. And if you’ve done something particularly creative to adapt, I want to share your creativity. Send me an email at Brett at St. Pete open for business com. Thanks.
To kick things off on this bonus episode of Hustleburg. We’re going to hear from Mark James of Bear Creek custom timber. I’d like to thank Mark James from Bear Creek custom timber for joining me today for St. Pete open for business. Mark, thanks so much for being here.
Mark James
Thank you, Brett. I really appreciate it.
Brett Bittner
Oh, absolutely. Tell the people of St. Pete what it is that Bear Creek custom timber does and how it is that you serve the community.
Mark James
Well, I’m a, I’ll say a logger/sawyer/woodshop. By that, I mean, I’m not an arborist I don’t go down and cut down trees for people and, and dispose of them. But what I do do is take down trees solely for the purpose of using them to recreate them into something else, furniture, that type of thing. So I’ll take some really high end trees and and I’ll slap them from the logs into slab so I’ve turned them into usable lumber. And I do a lot of work with live edge furniture, live edges with the the bark in the edges still on the sides of the slab to try and give it an organic look rather than dimensioned wonder which is square and that type of thing. I also build musical instruments as well. I’ve done five string banjos and I build acoustic guitars.
Brett Bittner
Wow. So I imagine that you get quite quite the variety of projects that are there. What are some of your favorites that you’ve made?
Mark James
Why I like making tables? That’s kind of my big thing because no table is ever the same. And they’ve recently there’s this advent of what they call river tables, which is, are they utilizing epoxy, and they pour colored epoxy into the table to try and give it a different look. I’m not a huge, huge fan of it, but it’s very popular with my customers. And so I do do it, it’s, it’s fun, you never really know what you’re gonna end up with. And that’s the same with cutting open along. You never know. It’s like opening Pandora’s box. Once you cut it open and lay it open. You don’t know what’s going to be inside and you see some amazing things. And we have some amazing trees growing in depth area.
Brett Bittner
That’s awesome, Mark. Now we’ve seen with the recent changes for a lot of businesses, they’re going takeout and delivery only if they’re a restaurant. What are some of the creative ways that you’re keeping the doors open?
Mark James
Well, it was a bit of a hurdle and kind of confusing because we were getting mixed messages from Both from the state and from the county. Right, we can do what we can’t do. And the county put forth some more stringent, I would say more stringent rules. So you know, I’m a single guy shop, it’s just me in here. And that’s it. I do it all. More. Typically, my business comes, I would say 90% of my income comes from Saturday morning markets in the market, evening brewery markets that you would have during the week and that kind of thing. Of course, I haven’t done any of those in over a month now. It was, I mean, obviously offered shipping, but a lot of the stuff that I create doesn’t necessarily lend itself to ship just by the terms of it. So I just kind of said, Look, I don’t care what you buy, and I don’t care how big or how small, how expensive or how cheap it is. I’ll deliver it to you for free. I don’t care where you live. I mean, if you’re in Sarasota, or if you’re in you know Hudson, I’ll drive up there and bring it to you. That’s the only way that I can offer anything. Okay, they were fine. There were times when I would
say, you know, there’s a minimum dollar figure on it, you know, in order to make it. Wow. But not anymore does matter if you need it, I’ll bring it to you. If it’s small enough, I’ll ship it. But, you know, they, some people will say, well, we’ll come to your shop and obviously I can’t do that. So, in fact, I, about a week ago, I delivered a table to the lady OCP beach and it was very simple. I mean, social distancing. I knocked on her door, I set the table by the door, you know, I stood back six feet, she came out, looked at it loved it, you know.
Brett Bittner
Awesome. Mark, how is it that now that you don’t have the fairs and markets? How is it that people are able to get in touch with you? Where can they find you on the web, social media and the like?
Mark James
I have a website, Bear Creek, custom timber calm, and all the information is on there, including, I don’t typically put items up there for sale. But since the advent of the COVID-19 all of the items that I have available that I make in advance are up there with the listing of the prices. And that we can work out, you know, delivery and shipping. I’m also on Instagram at Bear Creek custom timber. And on Facebook, I have a very active Facebook page is probably more active than any of them. And that’s Bear Creek custom timber LLC. So it’s Facebook, slash Bear Creek custom timber LLC.
Brett Bittner
And we’ll make sure that all of those are linked in the video description. Mark, I want to thank you very much. Are there any of those things that you currently have their pre made ready to go right out the door that aren’t custom, but are on the website that you’d like to give a shout out to?
Mark James
I mean, there’s a lot of different things that I’m the odd part about what I do is making it on spec is very difficult, you know, right. Where am I going to store an eight foot dining room table, you know, I’m sure somebody will buy it. But I mean, I haven’t table that’s under construction right now that I’m working on a small one. I have a guitar action on the other side of me that’s in the midst of being built. So those things will be, you know, available pretty quickly. And like I said, if you go to my Facebook page, you kind of follow along and I post a lot of stuff of where I’m at in the process of constructing and people can see what’s there.
Brett Bittner
Awesome, Mark, I want to thank you very much for sharing people, sharing with people how it is that you are open for business here in St. Louis.
Mark James
Thank you for everything you’re doing, Brett, we appreciate it.
Brett Bittner
And now we hear from practically Picasso’s Lynn Webb.
So I’m here today talking with St. Pete, business owner, Lynn Webb of Practically Pikasso. Welcome. Thank you for joining us. They’ve been open for business. Thank you for having me. I appreciate it. Awesome. Lynn will tell the folks who are watching what it is that you do serving the community here in St. Petersburg, Florida.
Lynn Webb
I will. Practically Pikasso has been a part of St. Petersburg for 20 years. November we celebrated our 20th anniversary. We are a Patreon pottery studio. We do art camps and classes and workshops and birthday parties. And people can walk in and paint and create with us. Well normally, people can walk in and paint and create with us and create memories and just have a great time with their family.
Brett Bittner
So that sounds like a great in person experience we’re seeing as a result of COVID-19 Coronavirus. Stay at home orders safer at home orders from the county and state that’s kind of made you have to be a little more creative. What are some of the things that you’re doing to make sure that you’re able to stay open as best you can to let people in St. Petersburg know that you are open for business.
Lynn Webb
It has had quite a huge impact on us for sure. We’ve had to kind of pivot and we’ve created an online store so that people can kind of shop the pottery options that we have available. We’ve offered curbside pickup, so we can you can pull up pop up in your trunk, we can put it in touch lists, and you can take that Pieces home with you to paint and create with your family. You can also up for delivery, we’ll deliver it to your doorstep. So you don’t even have to see any of our beautiful faces. And I say our because I’m so used to having my amazing team with me and I miss having them around. Definitely our family here, but it’s kind of down to me just to kind of keep that safer at home restrictions. I do have my team staying at home. So it’s kind of a one man show right now, but we’ll deliver that stuff to your doorstep or you can come pick up curbside. We have two restaurants in the plaza so you can support them and pick up your your dinner and pick up some painting and have a nice family experience.
Brett Bittner
It sounds like a nice family dinner date.
Lynn Webb
Yes, absolutely.
Brett Bittner
Awesome. Now are you guys doing anything live streaming wise to help guide some of the painting and the pottery?
Lynn Webb
Yeah, we’re doing free workshops, free classes on our Facebook Live where people can join in and we’ve done a lot of clay workshops where people can learn how to handle things with clay, we have some wet clay that you can Pick up to go and build at home. But if you don’t have what clay, we talked to you about how you can do it with salt dough, or Plato or anything that you have at home so that you can learn how to do those things. We’re also doing some workshops where they include step by step instructions, and I show kind of on our Facebook Lives, how you can do those. And then you can pick up those workshops and do those at home as well.
Brett Bittner
Often when that’s fantastic. Let’s let the people of St. Petersburg know where they can participate, how they can go ahead and order online and where they can connect with you on social media.
Lynn Webb
Absolutely, it’s practically picasso.com it’s Picasso with a K, not actually Picasso, we’re just practically You don’t have to be a perfect artist to participate. And facebook.com slash practically Picasso and we’re also on Instagram as well.
Brett Bittner
Awesome. Lynn, thank you so very much.
Lynn Webb
Thank you Have a great day.
Brett Bittner
Here’s my conversation with detail specialist LLCs Anthony Carrera.
So I’m joined today by Anthony Carrera, of the Detail Specialist LLC in Seminole. Anthony is joining us to share with us how he serves his community here in the St. Pete area. Anthony, thank you for coming on and talking with me today.
Anthony Carrera
Thanks for having me. Yeah, absolutely thank you for having me. On a premiere on YouTube detail studio here in Seminole called the detail specialist league global consultant for a company called car candy I do sell and resell their products out of my storefront attached to my shop. With all this you know COVID-19 taken place businesses definitely slowed down I’d be lying if I said it didn’t, as it’s not only slowed down for me it’s slow down for multiple small businesses across the spectrum. Um, we have limited to doing prior to any interior cleaning, we do ozone treatment, the interior, I can’t guarantee ozone kills 100% bacteria but it does kill a lot of virus and bacteria that could be built up in your ducts or throughout your interior. I do our run on that more, if needed. Follow that we always wear rpp gloves, masks goggles, you know the whole nine. We are still offering full detailing services. There are a lot of companies out there right now broadcasting they’re killing this virus. It’s not true CDC releases. steam is only effective held in one spot for three to four minutes. Now, a steamer I use steam on all details as well, which does kill bacteria and viruses, but it’s not guaranteed because you don’t have time to hold it in a two inch square for three minutes over a whole vehicle. But we are taking you know, precautions as far as cleaning goes. We’re doing hot water extractions. Our hot water machine gets up to 230 degrees Fahrenheit. Bacteria is killed around 170 degrees. We’re still doing full fino full cleanings, interior exterior, what’s really been keeping us busy has been our paint correction and ceramic coatings. It’s one of our number one sellers. A little bit about myself. I have roughly 1212 or 13 certifications in this industry. So I’m not just out there to wash a car. I mean, I take this job. This is my livelihood. This is what raises my family. Um, you know, I take my job very seriously, I’m not here just to make a quick dollar and spray something in your car. I’m here to do the full job, you know, start to finish make sure I give you 110% I’ve been in Pinellas County since 2018. I’ve been in business. And I’m sorry 2017. I’ve been in business since 2017 here in Pinellas County as well. Started mobile. In 2017. April 15 of this year, we’ll make a year to date I’ve been in my shop. I’m located at 596 seminal Boulevard. I’m a one man show like I said we offer offer a spectrum from basic interiors to full in depth shampooing, steam cleanings, engine bays, paint correction ceramic coatings. We do we are minimizing right now the amount of people allowed in the shop No, CDC says 10 I’ve dropped it down to five, just just for precautions. I have my floors taped off six feet, you know, because I do have a lot of people stopping through. So a lot of water to a lot of detailers. Right now they’ve been paying me, you know, via cash app Venmo. PayPal just kind of eliminate some of that hand to hand. Absolutely what we’ve been doing.
Brett Bittner
Now, what are some of the creative things that you’ve had to do, aside from just protecting yourself and your customers, just to make sure that you’re able to keep the doors open and keep serving the community?
Anthony Carrera
Like I said, we’ve dropped down the amount of people that were allowed to have in the shop, I honestly have opened my shop to other detailers. I’m allowing one detailer today. I’m not cutthroat in this industry. I’m down to help everybody. So what I’ve done is I’ve offered a detailer to use my shop. Normally I would rent my shop for $100 a day for them to do coatings. During this time. I’m not trying to capitalize off other detailers. I have opened my shop to them as well to be able to use my shop one detail at a time. Car day they can do so they’re not bringing in three or four cars cutting other people out. I have a big shop have almost 3000 square foot. So there’s plenty of room for us to work safely apart from one another clients that I usually allow them to wait if they need to right now I’m not allowing any waiting. You drop off in the dropbox out front, or if I’m here, you can drop your keys with me and go but there’s no hanging out of that, you know, hand sanitizers, you know, wait, clients think it’s funny, I’ll I’ll use hand sanitizer offered to him, you know, as soon as they walk in. Sure, just keeping social distance. And you know, I’m not over promising something as far as killing bacteria that there’s really no cure for right now. So it’s there, they’re there. There’s companies out there that are saying they are not local, but just just across the industry in general, and they’re getting a lot of backlash right now. I’m not promising I can do something that’s not even known of how to be done.
Brett Bittner
Now I had the opportunity today to visit your Facebook page, it looks like you guys do quite a bit of a variety of work. I saw some high end sports cars, some very nice imports, luxury imports, and even some motorcycles. What are some of the coolest cars that you’ve had the opportunity to work on?
Anthony Carrera
Man, you know, going into this back in the day, you know, I was always excited to do these higher end cars, you know, but now I mean, to be honest, I treat them just like any other car because that’s all they are at the end of the day to me now. I mean, I’ve driven them McLaren’s. I’ve done, you know, I’ve had Ferraris in here. Bentley’s Mazda rotties Rolls Royce at the end of the day, and they pay the bills the same way that any other person does. So I don’t I don’t favoritism to anyone. motorcycles. I have a contract. Burke’s Barracuda on 49th. Okay, all I do all their motorcycle detailing as well. I probably average I don’t know. 100 to 125 bikes a month. Wow. motorcycle tech as well. So that kind of you know gives them a comfort you know, guys when guys and gals on motorcycles it’s hard to leave something with somebody you know but them knowing my background in the industry is even as far back as working on the bikes they know I’ll take care of what they have. I’m also specialized on older cars as well I have a 1954 Lead Sled that’s my personal car so a lot of the guys know me for having that so they’ll bring me old cars because they know that I have a care and passion for the older vehicles as well as I do newer vehicles or motorcycles
Brett Bittner
Awesome. Anthony This is the opportunity for you to share with how people can get in touch with you websites social media, how they can connect what is the best way for them to get in touch with you and some of the other ways that they can as well.
Anthony Carrera
Um You can find me on a Facebook the details specialist LLC, my shop number comes straight to my cell phone so I don’t miss any calls right now during this area code 727-350-3639 if I don’t answer leave me a message. I’ve never been in extremely busy right now as I’m a one man shop trying to keep people out, but also still bringing work in to make sure things stay afloat.
Brett Bittner
Awesome, and anywhere else they can find you besides Facebook,
Anthony Carrera
um, I have an Instagram. It’s the underscore detail underscore specialist. And then I also have a website detail specialists with an S on the end calm.
Brett Bittner
Alright. Anthony, It’s been a pleasure. I appreciate all the work that you’re doing to stay open to serve the community here in St. Pete.
Anthony Carrera
Absolutely, man, I thank you and stay safe.
Brett Bittner
Absolutely
I had the opportunity to chase down a very busy Dan Pemberton of the Pesky Pelican Brew Pub. So today we’re with Dan Pemberton of Pesky Pelican Brew Pub, which is actually really near to my house. It’s actually across the street from the neighborhood in which I live. Dan, thanks so much for joining me today.
Dan Pemberton
Hey, you’re welcome.
Brett Bittner
So Dan told everybody what it is that the pesky Pelican is if they haven’t been there, now. Everything Yesterday, so I know and I’ve been there several times before, so I normally do. But what is your regular everyday business? You advertises a brew pub, but there’s so much more.
Dan Pemberton
Right? Yeah. So we actually, were a brew pub. So we’re a restaurant and we actually make our own beer here. And typically, we have four or five of our own beers on tap. Currently, we have none of our beers on tap. But you know, that’s, that’s another story for another day, right? But um, yeah, the reason I even bought this restaurant so I could actually brew beer and sell it professionally.
Brett Bittner
So you guys classify as a nanobrewery that right?
Dan Pemberton
That is correct. Yep. We do 20 gallon batches at a time. So that is like, you know, that’s, it’s a little bit over homebrew is very much more than homebrew right now. But, but I do that just so we can keep everything fresh and we keep it. We can be spontaneous and what we’re trying to brew and put out to the public.
Brett Bittner
Now you guys are open For takeout and delivery, but you’ve done something that’s very unique that I don’t think many people know about, I actually was able to participate yesterday. Tell everybody here in St. Pete, what it is that you’re doing now, to help keep some of the foot traffic as well as serving the community.
Dan Pemberton
Yeah, so what happened does, somebody came to me one day and asked me if they could buy chicken breast because there was no chicken breast available to them. And I was confused at that because I my food vendors are telling me they have too much food down there. And they were trying to give me some special prices to buy stuff. And so when I started checking into this, I was like, well, this is crazy. They have food to people need food. They couldn’t sell apparently, to the to the big box stores because they don’t have business agreements with them. So I said, Well, here’s what I’ll do. I’ll buy the food and sell it to you. So we bought a bunch of the chicken and we bagged it up, and we started selling it and then we found out that there was not just chicken that was missing in the public, but ground beef some other essentials like bleach A few other eggs and butter and milk. And I was like, well, that’s crazy because I have access to all this and it’s not missing. It’s just apparently can’t get to where it needs to be. So what we did is we put up pull out on the I love St. Pete Facebook page to what people were really looking forward to purchase and we wanted to stocking those items in the pesky Pelican and we opened up our little Farmers Market inside of here. So what we’ve done is uh, provided fresh meat and vegetables and and, and dairy products, along with other dry goods that people are looking for flour and central items that they just couldn’t find on the market. You can get them right here at the pesky Pelican.
Brett Bittner
Yeah, I actually for those of you who may have seen my tik tok yesterday from outside the pesky Pelican, that was right before I went in, picked up some beer, some steak and some potatoes to support Dan and what he’s got going on as well as to stop by and say hello. So Dan, how is it that People can get in touch with you. How can they connect with the pesky publican? This is your opportunity to plug your website, your business, your phone number, whatever it is, however people can connect with you.
Dan Pemberton
Right? The best way right now is we’re trying to actually update our Facebook page, which is facebook.com. pesky pelicans. St. Pete. We are we are going posting every day what we have available. We also are posting in a couple of the other larger Facebook audience pages like I love st P. What we do have available every day, but we’re located at 923 72nd Street North in St. Petersburg, it’s ninth Avenue where it meets the Pinellas trail. So you can actually come down here on your bicycles, grab yourself some beer to go and some chicken and maybe a steak or two and, and pedal on back home so we can be reached if you need to reach us by phone 77 3029600 we also have Uber Eats delivery, if you want to get that delivered right now Uber is waiving all delivery fees. So you can grab some delivery as well, or just come on in and pick it up. If you decide to pick it up, you can get some beers to go, maybe sit out back while you’re waiting for your food to the to be made. And then take all your stuff and go home.
Brett Bittner
Awesome. Dan, I want to thank you for making the time. And I look forward to seeing the most creative things that you’re able to do to stay open here in St. Pete.
Dan Pemberton
Thanks a lot, Brett. We appreciate your time today.
Brett Bittner
And finally, in this audio recap of St. Pete open for business comm I have the opportunity to talk with Vicki LeMay of Berg fitness and cycling studios. So today we’re talking with Vicki LeMay from Berg, fitness and cycling. Vicki, thank you for coming to talk about how you are still open here in St. Pete.
Vicki LeMay
Thanks for having me. It’s awesome that you’re doing this. I appreciate you.
Brett Bittner
Oh, thank you so much. Vikki, what is it that Berg fitness in cycling does when we are in the middle of a pandemic.
Vicki LeMay
So normally, we are a group fitness and cycling gym and also personal training. So we have a variety of classes. It’s from every skill level. So we have, you know, extreme athletes in our gym, have beginners in our gym, our coaches adapts to everyone. We have hit classes, we have boot camps, of course, we have indoor cycling, we have kickboxing, pure strength classes, if people are more interested in just lift dates, we have a little bit of everything for everyone. All times of the day, we have from 6am to 6pm. So all over the place immune classes.
Brett Bittner
And now with the safer home orders that we’re seeing both from the county and the state, you’ve had to adapt your business a little bit, what are some of the creative things that you’re doing to make sure that you’re open for the community here in St. Pete?
Vicki LeMay
I’m glad you actually post the question that way. Because it is about community. And if you see anyone that talks about the gym, we pride ourselves and really having an awesome community. And we missed our members and they miss us and they miss each other. So we weren’t connecting them via like zoom. But so it’s beyond the workout. It’s super important to be active during this time. It’s very easy to sit on the couch. So what we’ve done is we’ve created weekly programs, and that’s actually posted on my Instagram today. So we schedule so Monday through Sunday, there’s something to do every single day. Sometimes it’s a live zoom, sometimes it’s an Instagram post with videos. I’m just like how to do a certain movement and you do it whenever you can. So that’s one way that we’ve adapted we put everything on Instagram and Facebook. Again, some of our videos Some are live so you can go back and do it on your own. And for personal training. Some people aren’t comfortable group and that’s completely fine. So we’ve we’ve been We’ve created a virtual training session. So it’s mission coaching, which is really important right now. So personal customized workouts, and that will zoom one on one, you know, I’ll demonstrate they’ll do they’ll do the weight. Some people have rented equipment for me because not sure if you know, but dumbbells are a rare commodity like toilet paper,
Brett Bittner
I’ve actually seen that they’re pretty, pretty hard to come by right now. And when you don’t have things like play it again, even open, and people aren’t wanting to meet with Facebook marketplace and the like, it’s pretty tough to find them. And that certainly isn’t something you want to have shipped.
Vicki LeMay
Right, right. Exactly. Yeah. So we’ve for the personal training clients, you know, we’ve also given them something to work with. So you know, bigger picture again, it’s you know, weekly workouts for people. We’ve some people are still members, right, which is true. And so I guess that’s it weekly workouts, Instagram, One on one for personal training. So we’ve adapted to basically be completely online. And then even beyond the workouts, we have some zoom and just members know we’ve had our you know, it’s
Brett Bittner
That’s awesome. I’d love to see some of the virtual happy hours among groups that have traditionally met in person. That’s a pretty cool way to kind of keep the community vibe together. Vicki, how is it that people can find bird fitness and cycling and connect with you? Whether we’re talking website, phone number, social media, go ahead and hit them with all go ahead and hit everybody with all of those because this is your opportunity to plug yourself.
Vicki LeMay
Okay, sure. So me personally, I’m the owner with my husband. He’s also part owner up it’s really my baby I kind of run the deal. So my email is Vicky vi ck I ever fitness calm. Like personal phone number is my Boston number still it’s okay. 508353 2599 so you can hit me up on one of those if you were searched in the personal training aspect. And also, there’s just a ton of content on Instagram. So that’s at the handles Berg fitness, no limits. And then the enough to find us on Facebook group fitness and cycling. And then the last thing is what we what we are offering, because a lot of people know, they’re not getting the paychecks. And so we’re actually offering personal training for people who are not not comfortable with doing their own workouts, maybe they don’t have the background, they think they’re going to hurt themselves. So for $99 for a full month, you get one on one training, and that’s gonna help. People only need that for the month just to get their form down. We don’t want people hurting themselves. Right. That’s just something we’re offering out to the community.

Vicki, thank you so much for joining me today. And I look forward to hearing from you soon. It sounds like you’re a prime candidate to show up on the podcasts that I do Hustleburg and so I can’t wait until we’re in To meet face to face, and I certainly like to stop by the gym and see how everything works over there.
Vicki LeMay
