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.

If you’re looking for the best desserts in Stone Mountain, GA, or just want to know where to find unique, handcrafted treats, this is the episode for you. We dive deep into how Nuttopia, located right in the heart of Stone Mountain, has completely redefined the snacking experience. From their signature handcrafted nut cakes and premium nut butters to viral-worthy treats like those incredible pistachio “Dubai cakes,” Shantell is truly an innovator.
