"A national treasure." -Wynton Marsalis "The best musician on the planet." -Vince Gill "A supreme master at what he does." -Yo-Yo Ma "He is to music what Muhammad Ali is to boxing." -James Taylor  Imagine how good Mark O'Connor must be if these are the words his peers have said about him. Mark's musical DNA includes American folk tradition as well as classical music, and even jazz -- which makes sense when you consider that his creative journey began at the feet of a pair of musical giants: folk fiddler Benny Thomasson (who created the modern era of American fiddling) and French jazz violinist, Stephane Grappelli (considered one of the greatest improvisers in the history of the violin).   Along the way, between these musical extremes, Mark absorbed knowledge and influence from other musical styles and genres -- an alchemy that became his signature sound, a “new American Classical music." He's performed for U.S. Presidents ... he's recorded with Dolly Parton, James Taylor, Paul Simon, Randy Travis, The Judds and many more ... and he also created an entirely American school of string playing called The O'Connor Method.   Now, he's written a memoir entitled Crossing Bridges about his journey from child prodigy to fiddler who dared the world. He and his beloved, the extraordinary musician Maggie O'Connor, have been touring the country playing book release concerts, but they took some time to sit down with us on the Charlotte Is Creative Podcast!   LINK TO THINGS MENTIONED IN THIS PODCAST:   Will the Circle Be Unbroken, Vol. 2 by The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

Mattie Marshall

Mattie Marshall is a Charlottean. Like so many in Charlotte, she wasn’t born here. But, she’s made it her home.  While she’s lived in several neighborhoods since moving here, it’s the historic Washington Heights community - one of Charlotte’s original Black suburbs, named after Booker T. Washington. For more than 30 years, Ms. Marshall has been the president of the Historic Washington Heights Neighborhood Association.  As she says, she may have come for the tree-lined streets, but she stayed for the history of the community. She remained to walk in the steps of its founders, the Civil Rights leaders who lived here before her and the neighbors past and present who sit on their front porch swings welcoming all. She stayed because  Washington Heights is a home whose legacy and future are worth protecting. In this episode of “The World Should Know …” a special podcast series developed by Charlotte Is Creative in partnership with Tom Hanchett and Winston Robinson and sponsored by the North Carolina Humanities Council - Tim Miner interviews Ms. Mattie Marshall. Enjoy the conversation. Remember the story. Share it with someone else.

Tommie Robinson

Tommie Robinson is an artist. He’s been among our most celebrated in Charlotte, NC for some time. But it wasn’t always that way. As a black man who wanted to paint for a living in post-World War II South, there wasn’t a road map for him. But, he had talent. He had passion. And – as he says – he had a hard head. So he succeeded and still paints today. Welcome to this episode of “The World Should Know …” a special podcast series developed by Charlotte Is Creative in partnership with Tom Hanchett and Winston Robinson and sponsored by the North Carolina Humanities Council. Hear an incredible conversation between community organizer Winston Robinson and his father, artist Tommie Robinson, the first Black member of the Charlotte Art Guild. The two discuss what it has been like to build a career as a Black artist in the Queen City then and now … and why art is a vital part of our community. Enjoy the conversation. Remember the story.

Rudean Harris

Rudean Harris didn’t learn how to smile until she was a teenager.  After the death of Rudean’s mother, her father moved she and her siblings to Charlotte where, her extended family could help raise them. Fighting through poverty and bigotry, the family stayed together, but there was little to smile about. But, through the kindness of those in her community, Ms. Harris learned to smile. She opened a restaurant in her mid-teens. And, for 60 years, she opened her doors, her heart and – often – her kitchen to show love to those who walked in the doors of “Rudean’s” morning, noon and late night.  This is the first episode of “The World Should Know …” a special podcast series developed by Charlotte Is Creative in partnership with Tom Hanchett and Winston Robinson and sponsored by the North Carolina Humanities Council. This series was created to help keep stories of Charlotte’s past alive, stories of neighborhoods and neighbors that have been foundational to our past, but are in danger of being lost to time in our future.  Enjoy the conversation.

Ricky Singh is an educator, artist and father of four, so he knows what it takes to help build individuals and communities. He put much of that knowledge and passion to work this summer after the Black Lives Matter protests, painting several murals on and around Beatties Ford Road.  On today's Who Built Me segment, producer Andy Goh talks to Ricky about about the people he credits for building him: his four boys. Despite a difference in almost 12 years between the oldest and youngest, Ricky says they share many similarities. Ricky speaks about what he's learned from that range of characteristics, and how he's trying to help them define their own success.

Michelle Guobadia

Welcome to the #CharlotteIsCreative podcast. Today’s show features hosts Tim Miner and Matt Olin speaking with Michelle Guobadia, Associate Dean and Director of Fraternity and Sorority Life, immediately following the January 5 Creative Mornings Charlotte event at The Fillmore Charlotte, where Michelle spoke about the global theme of “Anxiety.” In her role as Director of Fraternity and Sorority Life at UNCC, Michelle Gubadia is responsible for the wellbeing of Greek students on campus and their transformation into leaders. One of her greatest challenges is eliminating student hazing and the dangers that come with it, something she sees as having no place in student life. Outside of work, Michelle deals with the anxiety that both relationships and race bring on a daily basis, something she talked about in her Creative Mornings speech. In this edition of the #CharlotteIsCreative podcast, Michelle talks about developing leaders in UNCC’s Greek population, how anxiety impacts creativity, and the value of failure in building resiliency. Don’t forget to use the hashtag #CharlotteIsCreative, and tweet us @CM_CLT whenever you see Charlotteans showing their creativity.

Many people in Charlotte see the creative energy that bounces back and forth from Creative Mornings hosts and Biscuit co-founders Matt Olin and Tim Miner. That kind of chemistry is something that takes a lot of time, work and a little luck to develop, and we believe that is something to be celebrated. That’s why we’re calling this segment Creative Besties. On each Creative Besties segment, we’ll profile a pair of creators whose collaborations enhance each person and their work as a whole. Up first on Creative Besties is Sydney Duarte and Andrea Orr. Sydney is a yoga instructor at NoDa Yoga and a social ambassador. Andrea is a branding and marketing consultant, and the founder of Level Up CLT. On this segment of Creative Besties, Tim Miner and myself talk to Andrea and Sydney about moving to Charlotte, finding your voice here, and what their hopes are for the next five years. The Biscuit Podcast is produced by Tim Miner, Matt Olin and Andy Goh. Music by Harvey Cummings.

Welcome to the Creative Mornings Charlotte podcast.

The diversity of of backgrounds is also apparent: Larken represents a distribution company and has served on many local boards; Dimple is not only an accomplished financial professional, but also an immigrant, the first Asian-American, and youngest woman to ever serve on council; and Braxton rode a wave of momentum from his political activism shown during the Keith Lamont Scott protests in 2016 to an at-large seat on the council the next year. In this episode of the Creative Mornings Charlotte podcast, Larken, Dimple and Braxton talk about the most important issues facing the city, what made them want to run for city council, and try to guess what Charlotte newspaper headlines from 1919 are real.

The featured speaker will be local artist Jessica Moss and her father, speaking about the global theme of “Water”.  RSVPs will open at 9 a.m., Monday, March 4.

Hosts Tim Miner and Matt Olin talk to Jason about the history of Charlotte's music scene, his thoughts on fatherhood, and what he enjoys most about working with Charlotte's young and talented musicians.

Sonja Gantt: Creative Mornings Rewind

Jason Harper

Page Fehling

Welcome to the #CharlotteIsCreative podcast. Today’s show features hosts Tim Miner and Matt Olin speaking with Page Fehling and Jason Harper of FOX46 WJZY’s Good Day Charlotte, immediately following the October 5 Creative Mornings Charlotte event at Savona Mill, where Jason and Page spoke about the global theme of “Honesty.” In an industry that is all-too-often about facade and sameness, Page Fehling and Jason Harper put forth their real personas into the world – and they’re succeeding. Whether in the studio, on social media, or interacting with Charlotteans IRL, Page and Jason are being honest and authentic in the era of “fake news.” To us, this seems like a great place to have a conversation about Honesty with two Queen City Creatives who are doing it right. In this episode of the #CharlotteIsCreative podcast, Page and Jason talk about their creative outlets, the importance of just doing it, the first news stories they did that ever affected them, and what advice they would give to their younger selves. Register for the next Creative Mornings Charlotte event Friday, November 9 at 8:30 a.m. at Temple Beth-El. The featured speaker will be meditation teacher Dr. Matt Lyon, speaking about the global theme of “Restart”.  RSVPs will open at 9 a.m., Monday, November 5.

And the next week, the week after that and so on.  Tomorrow morning at Black Hawk Hardware in Park Road Shopping Center, Matt and Tim will host the 50th meeting of Creative Mornings Charlotte. In today's episode of the Biscuit CLT Podcast, producer Andy Goh talks to Matt and Tim about the first 50 CMCLT events. Hear them talk about how the event got started, the role the venues play, their favorite memories and much more.

Andrew Au - "Community"

Design creation is just as much a creative endeavor as painting or photography. On today's Biscuit CLT podcast, hosts Tim Miner and Matt Olin talk to the Haas Brothers (Simon and Niki), who just opened the very first design show ever curated at SOCO Gallery.  The exhibition, titled I Saw Design, and Art Opened Up My Eyes, I Saw Design, is on view at SOCO through January 17, 2020. It combines the brothers' acute sense of wonder, whimsy and imagination.  In this conversation, you'll hear the brothers talk about the inspiration behind their designs, what it's like working together as brothers, and how a life in construction taught Niki the importance of framing.

Shan Wallace

It seems like it was just a month ago that we talked to Brian and Chelsea Mister about the first ever Around the Crown 10K that closed down 277 for a first-of-its-kind road race in Charlotte. Well, that's because it *was* just a month ago. Just last night, Brian and the ATC10K team announced the 2020 date of the ATC10K at NoDa Brewing Company. It's a big announcement, because the race will shift from a fall to a spring date in 2020 because of the RNC and other events.  What is the date of the 2020 ATC10K? Tune in to find out. In the second segment of the podcast, we hear from Shan Wallace, as she talks about Sisters With Stories, a portrait project she created in partnership with the YWCA.

Hope you're hungry... IT'S BISCUIT TIME! Hopefully, after hearing our brand new theme song, you'll have this little earworm with you the rest of the day. After that - ahem - experience, dive right into a can't-miss conversation with Taiwo Jaiyeoba, Charlotte's Chief City Planner, Assistant City Manager and speaker at the October 11 Creative Mornings event held at Ovens Auditorium. Hosts Tim Miner and Matt Olin lead you through a wonderful talk with Taiwo that puts his humor, professionalism and knowledge on display. Right after that, you'll hear producer Andy Goh talk to guests at CMCLT about what scares them most in Charlotte. We thought it would be a fun play on Halloween, but it ended up being a profound look at a shared concern among Charlotteans. Finally, we take you for a walk down Tryon Street in Uptown during this past weekend's Indian Festival and Hola Charlotte. We get eats and hear amazing music from both unique cultures.
