The Mind the Gap Podcast
Conversations that close the distance between where you are and where you want to be.
#02Alan Hitchcock spent years serving his community from behind the counter. Turns out, he had more than groceries on his mind.
#03Doctor. Engineer. Lawyer. Abhi Lokesh chose entrepreneurship. He broke the mold, spared the glass, and built Fracture instead.
#04Tina Ross has spent years helping Alachua say it with flowers, and apparently, some people have interesting things to say. From romance to raccoons, the florist has stories. A place where even the blossoms have gossip.
#05Chris Short is putting building plans right in front of workers through smart glasses. Same hard hats, fewer change orders.
#06Failed out of the University of Miami, moved to Gainesville, became a world-renowned leadership expert. John Spence took the scenic route to success.
#07Copeland Sausage once helped support a city, its Main Street, and generations of local families. Then the sausage disappeared, and the city learned how much was riding on the hog. Jim Herring remembers the company that helped feed an entire local economy.
Every week we sit down with the founders, builders, and thinkers working in the space between an idea and its execution. No highlight reels — just honest conversations about the distance most people never talk about, and how the best of them close it.
