She was a childhood education teacher. Her sister was a nurse practitioner. Their husbands work in NASCAR at Joe Gibbs Racing. And somehow... they ended up owning one of the most beloved pie shops in the Lake Norman area.


That's the thing about entrepreneurship. It doesn't always look like you planned.


In this episode, Gabby shares the full story behind Buttermilk Sky Pie Shop in Birkdale Village — from losing their SBA loan right when COVID hit, to soft-opening in February 2021 and saving their grand opening for Pi Day (March 14th). Because of course they did.


We talk about:

  • What it's actually like running a family business with your sister, your husbands, your in-laws, and your kids
  • How they go through 500 pounds of apples in two days at Thanksgiving
  • Why apple and key lime are always fighting for the #1 spot
  • The "Pie it Forward" program giving back to local nonprofits
  • And the hard lessons — trusting the wrong people, wearing too many hats, and figuring it out anyway


Five years in. Thousands of pies. And that Wednesday morning Thanksgiving line still humbles her every single time.


This one's good. Like peanut butter chocolate 4-inch good.

They don't. And Valentina is very politely about to prove it.


Valentina is the founder of Caffeto Specialty Coffee — a Colombian-rooted coffee brand now living inside The Outpost LKN in Cornelius. Her family owns the farm in the Andes. The beans ship every two weeks. And the coffee you're drinking at her shop is about as far from a drive-through window as you can get.


In this episode, Valentina breaks down:


- How a coffee cart in NoDa turned into a full brick-and-mortar at The Outpost LKN

- Why the coffee bean isn't actually a bean (yeah, we didn't know either)

- What makes high-altitude Colombian coffee different — and why you can taste it

- The grandmother's recipe behind their signature "Pili" drink

- Why she's launching coffee workshops so Lake Norman can finally learn to brew it right

- What real farm-to-cup actually looks like when the farm is YOUR family's farm


This isn't a coffee shop story. It's a culture story. A family story. And honestly, it's going to make you feel a little bad about that gas station coffee you grabbed this morning.


Come for the story. Stay for the mango latte.

You get The Outpost LKN.


Amy joins us this episode to talk about how she built one of Cornelius's coolest new spots from scratch. We're talking a community space, a curated gift shop, and a specialty coffee partnership she landed with a cold reach out to a Colombian coffee cart she'd never met. (Spoiler: it worked.)


We get into what it's actually like going from state-funded event budgets at UNCC to "wait, that's my money on the line" as a business owner. The surprises along the way — like how the event space blew up before she even had a pricing sheet ready. And why she built a kids corner into the floor plan, because not every coffee shop has to be quiet and corporate.


If you've been looking for a place in Lake Norman where you can bring your kids, meet your neighbors, grab a great cup of coffee, and actually put your phone down for an hour — this one's for you.

Matt moved to Lake Norman and realized there was no easy, turnkey way to get on the lake without owning a boat, joining a boat club, or dealing with sketchy rental situations. So he built the solution: all-inclusive chartered boat experiences where you show up, have fun, and leave. No cleaning. No maintenance. No stress.


We talk about how Matt went from real estate to running a fleet of tritoon boats on Lake Norman, why he refuses to be the "party boat" company (despite what bachelorette parties might request), and the surprising psychology of why even boat owners end up booking charters.


Matt breaks down the business model, the challenges of staffing captains who actually want to work every Saturday in the summer (spoiler: they don't), and why Lake Norman's 520 miles of shoreline makes it the perfect place for this kind of business. Plus, he shares some wild customer requests (no, there are no male strippers on Stripper Island), why locals are finally embracing the "Uber of the lake" concept, and how he's constantly refining what works and what doesn't.


If you're a Lake Norman local who's tired of dealing with boat ownership, a business owner thinking about the service industry, or just someone who wants to understand how to build a business around making people's lives easier, this episode is for you.

And her story of how she got here? Absolutely wild.


Sara was in corporate America for years, carrying the medical insurance for her family while her husband ran his businesses. The plan was simple: work until 65, then retire. But at 63, while sitting on a beach in Mexico with her second mimosa, she got the call. They fired her. Christmas week. On vacation.


Eighteen months from Medicare eligibility, Sara had a choice: brush off her resume and go back to corporate (which sounded like a root canal), or go all-in on the side business she'd been building—teaching people how to grow food in beautiful raised bed gardens.


She chose the garden. And it's been four years of absolute joy.


We talk about how Sara went from zero gardening experience during COVID to building 48 custom kitchen gardens across Lake Norman. She breaks down why North Carolina soil is terrible (unless you want to grow tobacco), how she designs gardens as "rooms" in your backyard, and why you only need to spend five minutes a day in your garden to make it work.


Plus, Sara shares the philosophy behind "Seed to Sanctuary"—how a tiny seed can transform your life, teach you to be present, and give you a sense of peace in a world that never stops moving. And after losing her adult daughter tragically, the garden community became a lifeline.


If you've ever thought about growing your own food but don't have time, or if you're a business owner wondering what's next after corporate America, this conversation is for you.

We dive into how Karen went from designing multimillion-dollar custom homes to opening a retail shop where anyone can buy the same high-end pieces she uses in her full-service design projects. No $30,000 renovation required—just walk in and grab what you need.

Daniel shares how his father—a Davidson College chemistry grad—ditched his degree to open a pizza shop after working summers in Hilton Head. What started as a tiny hole-in-the-wall became a community staple that people literally couldn't find even when they walked right past it.


When their landlord gave notice in 2020, Daniel and his sister faced a tough choice: close the family business or reinvent it. The closure announcement went viral, and they sold out of food by 2 o'clock. The community's response was clear—Mooresville couldn't lose Pie in the Sky.


Discover how Daniel sketched his dream restaurant on notebook paper and transformed the old Kim's Cleaners building into one of the coolest spots in Mooresville. Learn about their homemade dough, custom sausage from Shop 'n Save, creative daily specials, and why Daniel came back from App State to run the family business (even though he swore he never would).


From Nashville Hot pizza to chorizo queso creations, Daniel explains how they've scaled up while keeping the quality and family feel that made them famous—and why they'll never open a second location.

Jack shares his incredible journey from running Lake Norman Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram for 20 years—growing it into a top-10 dealership in the country—to selling the business in 2022 and attempting retirement. Spoiler alert: retirement didn't last long.


When Jack's wife mentioned there was nowhere to play pickleball indoors in the area, what seemed like a "crazy idea" turned into The Serve—a unique facility featuring 10 indoor pickleball courts, four Topgolf Swing Suites with 30+ games, a full-service restaurant with chef-crafted meals, a cafe, and a private event room that seats 64 people.

In this conversation, you'll discover:


  • How Jack traveled the country studying the best pickleball facilities and got guidance from Chicken and Pickle founder Dave Johnson
  • Why The Serve had over 600 visitors in a single Saturday just weeks after opening
  • The one business rule Jack lives by: stay in your lane (especially when working with your spouse)
  • How the facility is designed so you can enjoy an amazing meal without even knowing there's pickleball happening
  • Why Jack calls himself a "two-time retirement failure" after also buying another car dealership in South Carolina

]]> In this episode of We Are Lake Norman, host Ryan Webber sits down with Jack Salzman, owner of The Serve Pickleball & Kitchen, a massive 50,000 square foot indoor entertainment facility that's quickly becoming a Lake Norman staple.


Jack shares his incredible journey from running Lake Norman Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram for 20 years—growing it into a top-10 dealership in the country—to selling the business in 2022 and attempting retirement. Spoiler alert: retirement didn't last long.


When Jack's wife mentioned there was nowhere to play pickleball indoors in the area, what seemed like a "crazy idea" turned into The Serve—a unique facility featuring 10 indoor pickleball courts, four Topgolf Swing Suites with 30+ games, a full-service restaurant with chef-crafted meals, a cafe, and a private event room that seats 64 people.

In this conversation, you'll discover:


  • How Jack traveled the country studying the best pickleball facilities and got guidance from Chicken and Pickle founder Dave Johnson
  • Why The Serve had over 600 visitors in a single Saturday just weeks after opening
  • The one business rule Jack lives by: stay in your lane (especially when working with your spouse)
  • How the facility is designed so you can enjoy an amazing meal without even knowing there's pickleball happening
  • Why Jack calls himself a "two-time retirement failure" after also buying another car dealership in South Carolina
  • The importance of grassroots marketing and community involvement in building a successful local business
  • What makes The Serve different: from short rib grilled cheese and red velvet waffles to zombie dodgeball and corporate events


Whether you're a pickleball enthusiast, a local business owner, or someone looking for the next great spot to spend an afternoon in Lake Norman, this episode offers insights into entrepreneurship, community building, and what it takes to create a destination that brings people together.

For Tyler Cagwin, it sparked a complete life transformation.


In this episode of We Are Lake Norman, host Ryan Webber sits down with Tyler, the founder of Nostalgia Chocolates in Huntersville. Tyler shares his incredible journey from working 15 years in his family's mortgage business to roasting cocoa beans and crafting bean-to-bar chocolate by hand.


You'll hear about Tyler's chocolate education—from taking online courses to flying to Oregon for a two-week apprenticeship with a respected chocolate maker. He opens up about the challenges of restarting his business in North Carolina after building a loyal following in Syracuse, and why networking in the Lake Norman area has been both difficult and rewarding.


But this isn't just a business story. Tyler reveals his philosophy behind Nostalgia Chocolates: creating moments where people can slow down, savor a piece of chocolate, and let their minds wander. He explains the fascinating differences between chocolate origins—why Madagascar tastes different from Tanzania, and how he roasts each bean to highlight unique flavor profiles.


Whether you're a chocolate lover, an aspiring entrepreneur, or someone who needs permission to slow down in our fast-paced world, Tyler's story will inspire you.

I know that sounds pretty boring, but it was quite the contrary. David gave us (and when I say us I mean Ryan) a huge education on what happens at the local politic level, why it is some important to get out and vote, and how it affects our local community. One of the biggest takeaways we got from this is that local politics can directly impact your day to day life, but state and federal usually do not.


So next time you are seeing signs out for local government elections, make your voice heard. It will greatly help decide how your town operates its day-to-day operations.

Boen began her career as an elementary school teacher and worked her way up to Principal once her children began Middle School. Through their Middle school years, she stay with her children until she was swept away by the school superintendent's office to be the internal and external communications director; a role that she still holds today.


We are very encouraged to hear about the steps that are being taken to further protect and provide support to students that may be experiencing emotional stress which has lead to a rise in suicide amongst the youth in America. Through the hashtag #talkitout Boen and the Iredell county school district are encouraging children to talk about their issues with teachers rather than holding in their emotions.


Amongst other things, we also learn about Boen's recent trip to the White House where she met with government officials to discuss an initiative to get mentally and physically handicapped children more active.


It was very comforting to have Boen on the podcast knowing that the state of our public education system in Iredell county is in good hands and we can expect great things in store for our children for years to come.


Enjoy the podcast!

We get some ideas on a “side hustle” and a different type of mentality when planning your future.

Ben tells us about one of his most memorable college experiences, which somehow involved a canon. Tiffany's involved pom-poms.

Ben and Tiffany discuss their favorite spots in the Lake Norman area, which of course involve food and restaurants. We also hear some ideas they have if they could add one thing to the LKN area right now.

We end the episode with a little game of Google Autopopulate and see what autopopulates when we type in certain phrases about lawyers. We've always wondered “what do lawyers actually do” and we get to hear what these lawyers say they do.

This episode was filled with lots of laughs, but also many good nuggets of wisdom.

Enjoy the episode!

We were lucky enough to get Darren Spicer, one of the owners, on our podcast to tell us all about the things Clutch Coffee is doing in the area and how they have ingrained themselves into the local community in such a short amount of time.


Clutch Coffee delivers a unique experience because it is drive-through only, but you still feel like you are part of a community. The idea of a drive-through only coffee shop was replicated from a model on the west coast where Darren, and other owner John met. They have been able to create a culture at their locations that is a memorable experience no matter who you are.


Darren gives us some insight as to what makes the culture so unique, why they chose Mooresville, and what the future plans are for Clutch Coffee Bar. 


Enjoy the show!

If you haven't been by King Canary on a Friday after work, it's probably because the parking lot was too full for you to get in. 

Since its opening about a year ago, King Canary has become a popular spot for local to relax, support local business, and try out some different beer and wine option that King Canary offers. 

Learn how King Canary got its name, why they chose Mooresville, and how a CPA decided to switch from accounting and open a brewery. We hope you don't mind the podcast falling off at the end as we taste-tasted some different beers that King Canary has to offer.

A former private pilot, Ben and Tom got to geek out about planes, flying, and how it is to begin flying commercially. After he flew privately for NASCAR, Tom ventured into the magazine industry where he developed his skills and is now running the Charlotte Real Producers Magazine, a magazine that feature the top 500 agents in the Charlotte and LKN area.


The magazine is a prestigious honor to be in, and Tom explains how he gets sponsors based on recommendations from the top realtors in the Charlotte area. The magazine isn't geared towards generating a profit however, it is centered around linking up top agents and vendors to help them improve their business.


Growing up in the LKN area, Tom has watched the area change over the last few years and expects the area to continue to grow just as fast as it has in recent years. We also hear a few stories about growing up in the LKN area, and how Tom may be still on the run after going mudding on the cart path before the Point was developed.


Sit back and enjoy some laughs with Ben, Ryan, and our guest Tom Bramhall!

Bill describes to us a career in Real Estate is like a staircase, with steps being the basics:  hauling & hoping, driving & showing, sitting & wishing, praying & pitching and listing & selling.   He states, you can’t train unless you have been a manager or a broker in charge and you can't be a broker in charge or a manager unless you’ve actually listed and sold. 

Bill has been teaching since 1998 and goes on to tell us that as a teacher, you’ve got to feel the pulse in the class,  know to touch on all the learning styles, for example:  engagement, participation, entertainment and educating.  When you have these with the students, it’s a thumbs up.

Bill's advice to new graduates is to ask and listen to the people around you.  Soak in the words of wisdom the people give, because, "what you receive will be a win-win situation.  In the Mooresville area, people are so helpful and friendly.  They typically will work with you, not against you."

Bill explains how Real Estate schools are resilient against the down turn.  They are probably the least expensive, cost effective, low investment with courses and overhead.  He continues on to teach us what EBITDA stands for and what it means. We talk about the old HUD form vs. the BCD and SCD  and about when you start a business you need to have a plan to sell the business.  

Sit back and listen to Bill tell us what he sees in his crystal ball and his Real Estate prediction down the road in the LKN area, based on the inverted yield curve that recently presented itself.

Vickie is a business owner, mother and a Senator who is standing up nicely for our area.  She and her husband have owned and operated Sawyer Insurance and Financial Services, now at two locations, since 2002 where she is a licensed insurance agent. Vickie is also a commercial and residential licensed NC contractor.

Vickie will give us a couple of very good real estate tips and also tell us why she thinks Mooresville is the “crown jewel” of North Carolina.  She lets us know why serving and supporting the community is very important to her.  One of the ways she shows support is by displaying local art in her office rather than purchasing decorations from the big box stores.  The artwork is done by local artists and is changed out for a new display every three months, giving artists the opportunity to get their name known and their creativity seen.  We also learn that affordable housing is not just for the people that don’t work.  Vickie goes on to tell us about what she thinks Mooresville will be like in the years to come, stating that the “proof is in the pudding”.

It was a delight to further our knowledge about the Mooresville LKN area today with Senator Vickie Sawyer.

Lawrie Lawrence started real estate in New Zealand.  He then spent 10 years in the business in Australia. After selling out of the company, he made the journey to the US traveling around 44 states in a “diesel pusher,” landing himself and his family in the Lake Norman area.  He’s been here now, in real estate for 10 years and has become one of the top investors for luxury vacation rentals.

Lawrie gets right down to business and gives us his theory for what’s in store for the Lake Norman real estate and vacation rental market. As a top 10 rated residential lake in the world, Lawrie has high hopes for what the market is going to do, once Lake Norman gets discovered by people all over the world.  We also talk about what drives his investment strategy in these luxury lake norman vacation rentals. 

A very important and impressive thing Lawrie does is respect the neighbors of his rental properties. He discusses the multiple lengths his company goes through to try to limit the negative impact that traditional rentals have brought. 

It was a great pleasure to talk with Lawrie Lawrence and have him educate us further on the LKN area.
