I met Shane Ray in 2017 through a local coaching program. We hit it off immediately and have been friends ever since! He’s replaced some of my AC units and maintained others. He has one of the most franchise-able brands I have ever seen and he’s finding his way to that eventuality.
From Shane:
“Hi, I’m Shane Ray, owner and founder of Aloha Air Conditioning. I grew up in the HVAC industry. I wanted to start and operate a company that would make customers say, "Wow!" My team and I maintain a culture of respect and generosity. Our philosophy involves treating customers and employees like family. We back up our promises with action and written guarantees.
I grew up in the area, and when I wasn't engaged in my unique hobby of reading, I spent time with my family learning about the HVAC industry. After graduating from high school in 1991, I started working for my family's HVAC business. Having served more than 25,000 customers, I've experienced every possible situation in a home. My family eventually sold that business, and I chose to continue to stay in the industry and provide my community with the products and services they need for indoor comfort."

The Evolution of Modern Media Consumption w/Cole Evans :: Ep 194 MMTBP
A Middle Tennessee Business Podcast....subscribe/follow/rate/review at www.mmtbp.com
Cole Evans is one of the most prolific media strategists I’ve ever known. He and I met working at a Nashville Radio group around 2007. It’s fair to say that Cole was the one who reintroduced me to long form audio production with his podcast “Brand Forward” in 2016.
Our conversation revolved around the evolving nature of marketing and advertising strategies in the digital age. We discussed the importance of staying prolific, adapting to changes in the media landscape, and measuring the effectiveness of media campaigns. Cole shares insights on various marketing strategies for small business growth, including understanding the target audience and building relationships.
Finally, we touched on the use of AI-based tools for keyword analysis, content creation, and distribution to streamline podcast production and maximize its reach.

Vulnerability + Candor = TRUE Authenticity w/Jim Morris :: Ep 193 MMTBP
A Middle Tennessee Business Podcast....subscribe/follow/rate/review at www.mmtbp.com
Entrepreneurs are risk takers. More so than much of the world population.
When Jim Morris committed to launch a conference that was to be different than all the other conferences that have sprouted up over the last decade, his optimism could break the bonds of earthly gravity.
He quickly learned that it would be one of the most difficult challenges he would ever face.
It was a Herculean task. It was devastating. It was the most humbling experience in his life.
And he needed it.
In this episode, Jim gets REAL.

A Brooklyn Legacy in Nashville w/The Maccas - Ep 191 MMTBP
Middle Tennessee Business Podcast....subscribe/follow/rate/review at www.mmtbp.com
When we left Connecticut in 2001, we left the ability to get great New York-style pizza on a moment’s notice, from almost any pizza place.
In Las Vegas, it took us 3 years to find a place that came close, but still too far.
In the Middle Tennessee area, we had better luck. My friend John Tumminello introduced me to Joey’s House of Pizza, which was in Brentwood at the time.
Upon entering the restaurant, the sights, smells and thick New York accents brought me back to those days when we lived in the Northeast….the days when we took getting good pizza very much for granted.
I have been a champion of the Macca family ever since. When they opened a Joey’s House of Pizza in Spring Hill, you probably could have heard the celebration of joy coming from my house from several hundred yards away.
Joey’s eventually moved to Elm Hill Pike, and then, much to just about the entire community’s chagrin, closed with no prior notice. The Spring Hill store is still open but has also moved and changed their name to Nelly’s, which is operated by Joey and Crescenza Macca’s daughter and son-in-law, Danielle and Ryan.
The Macca’s aren’t done.
They’ve opened Macca Villa at Riverside in Murfreesboro, where you can still get your Joey’s House of Pizza fix as well as a beautiful property to have a wedding, celebrate an anniversary or have a really bodacious birthday blowout!
“Ciao, y’all!” - Perfectly said, from a Brooklyn born, deeply Italian family who planted roots in our backyard back in the 80s.

Maximizing Your Freelancing Career w/Nashville’s Steve Lomas - Ep 190 MMTBP
A Middle Tennessee Business Podcast....subscribe/follow/rate/review at www.mmtbp.com
If you’re a freelancer in Middle Tennessee, this episode is a must listen!
I met Steve Lomas through my good friend and MMTBP regular, Amanda Banks. She saw the immediate connection Steve and I had in the creative space.
our conversation revolved around the challenges of finding reliable freelancers on platforms like Fiverr, the importance of networking and relationship building in business, and the evolution of the creative industry.
We discussed the value of personal connections in the broadcasting and content creation fields, and the need for onboarding and developing young talent.
Collaborating with skilled freelancers and the importance of building a strong foundation through basic strategies is also a strength. Just be aware of the nature between transactional and relational people, and the value of small gestures like buying coffee for others in building genuine connections.
