From flying C130s into conflict zones to commanding global military operations, Kevin Hyde’s story might seem more like an action movie than real life.

In this episode, Kevin shares how his time at the Air Force Academy was “sink or swim,” why sometimes the fastest way to get results is by breaking bread, and how he’s now guiding a nonprofit that provides support, stability, and hope to our community.

Jason Provonsha has never been a fan of “winging it.” Maybe it’s because he spent part of his childhood keeping his dad’s FBI job a secret, or because of the critical lessons a mentor taught him…

In this episode, Jason shares his journey from healthcare marketing to logistics, why he once thought he’d have to leave Chattanooga to grow his career, and what it’s taken to scale Steam without losing focus on what matters most.

Jason Provonsha is the CEO of Steam Logistics, one of the fastest-growing third-party logistics companies in the country. You can connect with him on LinkedIn (linkedin.com/in/jasonprovonsha).

George Mullinax was raised to take risks and trust that he could rise to the challenge. That mindset carried him through the highs and lows of corporate life, and eventually led him to leave it behind entirely to start something of his own.

In this episode, George reflects on the unexpected turns that shaped his path, from family business losses and early morning side jobs to years of night classes while working full time. He also shares why he walked away from a VP-level role rather than uproot his family, and how he built a thriving media company with zero background in publishing.

George Mullinax is the owner of CMC Media & Marketing Group, the company behind CityScope, HealthScope, and several other Chattanooga-based publications. You can connect with him on LinkedIn (linkedin.com/in/george-mullinix-aa628ba).
