Todd Ritter, the General Manager of MarineMax Lake Norman, joins the podcast!

Is there any better way to enjoy Lake Norman than by boat? I don’t think so. Todd and I talk about some of the amazing brands available at MarineMax and the services they offer their customers.

We also talk about the upcoming Mid-Atlantic Boat Show and how customers can land a great deal on their dream boat.

The show isn’t just for those buying this year - I’ve attended for several years and have yet to buy a boat. It’s just great to stay up to date on the latest innovations in boating and think about what I’ll buy when I’m ready.

Big thanks to Todd, Maddie, and Leo at MarineMax Lake Norman for their hospitality and for giving me a tour of some beautiful new boats. This is a great podcast episode - enjoy!

Justin Orders joins the podcast to share the story behind Queens Orders Honey - an apiary located in Huntersville.

In early 2018, Justin found himself unsure of his life's direction. He began beekeeping that same year and quickly discovered his passion for saving honeybees. What began as a single hive has now grown to over 40 hives.

In addition to producing amazing local honey for consumers, Queens Orders also offers a variety of services including hive hosting, swarm removal/relocation, educational presentations, and training programs for new beekeepers.
