Today's Business Highlight: Scott Carl

Scott Carl at Pappy T's My last musician highlight is someone I would describe as a hidden gem. Scott Carl doesn’t advertise himself the same way many of today’s local musicians do; however, his music is what many of us need in our lives. His music is not only filled with hope and understanding, but also feels like a guide on how to live life. It feels like a beacon of hope at a time when so many of us are struggling and living day to day, or sometimes what feels like hour to

BLOG'S MISSION

I created this blog to make real estate, investing, business, and community resources more accessible to everyone. Whether you're buying your first home, growing an investment portfolio, launching a business, or simply looking for reliable information, my goal is to provide practical insights that help you make informed decisions with confidence.

Growing up in a single-parent household with limited access to financial literacy resources, I understand how overwhelming major life and financial decisions can feel. That experience inspired my passion for sharing knowledge, creating opportunities, and helping others navigate their own journeys.

In addition to real estate insights and market updates, this blog features my Business Highlight series, where I interview local professionals, entrepreneurs, and community leaders to connect readers with valuable resources and showcase the people making a positive impact in our communities.

At its core, this blog is about opening doors through knowledge, connections, and opportunity.

Today's Business Highlight: Bryan Yurcan

Bryan Yurcan Today's Business Highlight Features Bryan Yurcan, a local musician based in Bethlehem who originally hails from New York and New Jersey. Bryan is becoming a meaningful part of the Lehigh Valley music scene, not only because of what he plays, but his original music is something that I will like to call a Historian Musician. His original music captures the moments, emotions, and observations that many of us experience but rarely can put into words. Whether he's wri

Today's Business Highlight: The Just Imagines with Tyler and Carina Cressman

The Just Imagines (left to right) Tyler (Guitar), Carina (Vocalist), Tim (Drummer), Dan (Bassist) The Just Imagines are the first guests of Season 3 of Business Highlight, a season that is especially close to my heart because it focuses on a type of business that helped me connect with my community more than almost anything else: music. Carina (Vocalist) As a teenager growing up in the Lehigh Valley, I played with several local bands. Through music, I met people from differen

Today's Business Highlight: The Encore Collective with Tylynn Cofer, LCSW - part 2

Tylynn Cofer, LCSW In Part One of my conversation with Tylynn Cofer, LCSW, we explored how childhood experiences can resurface during parenthood, why our children often become emotional triggers, and what healing can look like when we begin confronting old wounds with compassion rather than judgment. Now comes the other part: our relationships. There is nothing quite like a baby to test a relationship. Children do not break relationships, but they certainly put them under a

Today's Business Highlight: The Encore Collective with Tylynn Cofer, LCSW - part 1

Tylynn Cofer, LCSW When you give birth to your child and see how perfect and beautiful they are, there is an underlying surprise that many of us never expected. At the same time your baby is born, for those of us who experienced childhood trauma, something else is born too: one of our biggest triggers. Not because our children are doing anything wrong. They aren't. It's because children feel everything at full intensity. Their joy is enormous. Their sadness is enormous. Their

Easton's West Ward, Home of Mine

I have lived in Easton's West Ward for the grand majority of my life. I have been here through the downs, and I am now here through the ups. In the early 2000's, when I was a child, just mentioning the West Ward could get you dirty looks in other parts of the Lehigh Valley. But to me, it has always been my home. This neighborhood gave me a community. It gave me a place to truly come home to. Every landmark, the old trees, old homes, the corner stores, the parks, and even the

Today’s Business Highlight: Waves of Serenity with Brianna Serrano, LCSW, PMH-C

Brianna Serrano, LCSW, PMH-C Waves of Serenity Counseling, LLC, my second episode of Season Two. I had the pleasure of speaking with Brianna Serrano, LCSW, PMH-C, about trauma during birth, how to support both the birthing parent and co-parent, and how difficult it can be to balance caring for yourself while caring for a new baby. Speaking with Brianna was such a great experience because, on top of being a counselor with years of experience, she has worked in a hospital setti

Today’s Business Highlight: The Cozy Corner with Tiffany Castillo, LPC, PMH-C

Tiffany Castillo, LPC, PMH-C For the second season of Business Highlight, I wanted to start with something deeply near and dear to me: support for new parents. My first interview is with Tiffany Castillo, a therapist at The Cozy Corner Counseling, who specializes in perinatal mental health. This project is all about bringing awareness to the incredible resources and professionals we have right here in the Lehigh Valley, and this one is very close to my heart. In my experienc

Today’s Business Highlight: The Loc Spa Hair Studio

Sherone, owner of The Loc Spa Hair Studio I first met Sherone Bryan-Ryer while leasing the commercial space that now calls The Loc Spa Hair Studio its home. From the very first interaction, her calm presence stood out to me. So it feels right that she closes out Season One of this Business Highlight Series. And somehow, the way her story unfolds, it naturally opens the door to what is coming on Season Two. The alignment feels almost like destiny. Sherone is the owner of a na

Business Highlight Series Metropolitan Ink and Beauty Bar: Gracie Petrossian

Gracie Petrossian I’m closing this mini-series with Grace Petrossian, the one who first inspired her family to look toward Easton as the place to build their business together. Grace’s studio is the first you see when you walk in, something that feels both symbolic and fitting. In many ways, it reflects her role in opening the door for her family and helping shape what Metropolitan Ink & Beauty Bar has become in the Lehigh Valley. Let’s take a moment to get to know Grace and

With a bright smile, she spoke about the dedication, sacrifices, and hard work they’ve poured into building the business and bringing their vision to life.
