With over 2200+ episodes and 700,000 streams under my belt, The Ash Said It Show is all about that perfect mix of high energy and real talk. I took the brand my mom Donna Theresa inspired and turned it into a global hangout for anyone who wants to level up while having a blast. Think of it as your daily dose of \"All Things Creative.\" One day I might be geeking out over 80s nostalgia or the best matcha latte in Atlanta, and the next I am sitting down with a visionary leader to talk about how to actually win in business. It is fun, it is insightful, and it is always authentic. I have spent years building a community that celebrates the grind but also knows how to enjoy the journey. Whether you are a fellow entrepreneur, a fan of \"Within The Hummingbird,\" or just someone looking for a fresh perspective, I am here to help you navigate life with a little extra flair. Grab your favorite snack, tune in, and let’s get into it. This isn't just a podcast—it’s a whole vibe.

In an exclusive deep-dive on The Ash Said It Show, Stuart shares the fascinating journey of how a childhood spent camping on his grandfather’s farm evolved into a premier American family-owned business dedicated to 100% clean, farm-to-table excellence. What sets 15 Olives apart in a crowded market? It’s all about the purity of the process. Unlike many mass-produced brands that rely on food dyes and synthetics, 15 Olives guarantees USA grown olives sourced directly from Stuart’s own trees in Florida and California. By milling the fruit quickly after harvest, they lock in vital nutrients and ensure the highest antioxidant profile, delivering a product with zero additives—no fillers, no synthetics, just 100% clean olive oil and vinegar. Stuart Alfonso isn't just an enthusiast; he’s a certified expert. As a Certified Sensory Panelist through the UC Davis Olive Center, Stuart has trained his palate to identify the intricate notes of truly premium oil. During the interview, he discusses his work with the Florida Olive Council and UF/IFAS Research & Development, shedding light on why education is just as important as production. For Stuart, teaching consumers the distinct \"peppery kick\" of authentic extra virgin olive oil is a personal passion. Beyond the business, the olive orchard serves as Stuart’s \"reset button.\" He shares how the outdoors provides a reprieve from the stresses of modern life, especially when his family joins him in the groves. It is this authentic connection to the land that fuels the quality found in every bottle.
