Podcast Description
On Truthache, we talk about the elephant in the room – those edgy topics that everyone is thinking, but afraid to talk about. We bring in a wide range of guests for expertise and perspective. Join us for conversations like: Is investing in the arts charity, a waste or economic development? Does everyone deserve to own a home even if someone else has to fund it? Can the government ever really be efficient, and does it matter how it gets there? Are nonprofits wasting federal funding or doing the government’s dirty work? On Truthache, there’s no sides, just vibes. Join Michael Salemi, Daniel Herndon, and Aaron Douglas and our guests as we cover the hard stuff we all are aching to talk about.
Podcast Insights
Content Themes

If you want to relax and feel good about yourself, there are two good ways to do it. Visiting Stacey Blanton’s spa, Skin Renew, or being a guest on our podcast. Stacey, for an afternoon, decided to do the latter, to share how she looks back on business. To learn and then move on. Another good way to relax.
What keeps us up at night are the decisions we made that were maybe the wrong ones, or at least a bigger bite than we thought they were. Stacey shares how she grew her spa business to a second location, from the lessons learned in startup mode, to a new kind of lesson in scale-up mode.
In either case, if you tell Stacey she’s not going to make it, then she almost certainly will. And we can relate (and throughout this episode, we do).
