Erika Garcia is a woman of many hats - she owns her own flower, veggie, and farm stand called Bloom Country Farms and she also founded Hometown Collective Studios - which focuses on Creative Classes for kids and adults. Their services range from language programs, learning programs, and development programs.

Erika has created a staple for the local Latino community to find comfort in. She explains that sometimes those can be intimidated by learning a new language for the first time. Working in her studio allows those to feel comfortable while learning at their own pace.

With the East End community changing, we discuss what we can do to stick together as a town to keep ourselves a float in this ever difficult housing and rental market. We discuss topics of life, interests, and personal development.

Jonny Nature aka Jonathon Macris is an environmentalist, photographer, and total lover of nature. Jonny believes that we can all get to a better place within ourselves by connecting back to the earth.

Living in Indiana, Jonny's facing challenges of over-development right within his own backyard and throughout some of Indiana's most precious perseveres. This inspired Jonny to really get out there and start getting vocal about his journey through nature. Starting his own native preserve, he creates and shares his influential content via social media (@jonnynature on Instagram and YouTube) and actively takes care of large properties in which he plants only native plantings. His mission is simple: to restore Indiana back to a more natural and native condition, and to fight back against the environmental setbacks of continued overdevelopment. Within this process you will find yourself so immersed by the beauty of nature that you'll want to start native planting in your own backyard.

At only 24 years old, his passion and scope of the world is completely refreshing. He is inspiring generations who will in turn make the earth a better place for us all to live - while bettering our own selves in the process. We hope you enjoy this episode, because Jonny is an incredible guy! #HighlyEducatedPodcast

He is often featured on FOX Business, CNN, and MSNBC - lecturing the masses on how the scales of society have not tipped in favor of the younger generations. Sky high interest rates, Asset Management Groups buying droves of property across the country, low wage and salary issues, massive credit debt, and student loan standing are all issues we chat about effecting the current crisis.

We have major issues surrounding housing in this country and Freddie gives you the right mindset to have when exploring the chaos. He encourages those to not give up hope, that there are options out there, and that active solutions are being made to try and combat these issues on a macro and micro scale.
