  • Nashville 2 Episode 93 - Christopher McClintock
    Jun 1 2024

    About Our Guest:

    Originally from Ohio, I graduated from Kent State University (2000) and, in 2003, founded Personal Best Fitness, a Personal Training Studio in Brentwood, TN. Aimed at helping and inspiring my community, I bootstrapped this start-up and managed all operations, including Marketing, Accounting, Cleaning, Answering Phones, Training, and Hiring – occasionally stopping for sleep. Today, the company runs itself with amazing people, and I want to continue to support my community. That’s when I came across Comfort Keepers.


    I have also founded community events, races, and triathlons, raising hundreds of thousands for local charities. I was also a trader at a hedge fund, had my real estate license for investment properties, and wrote two books. As Head Coach for 16 years of TN Leukemia and Lymphoma Society’s “Team In Training,” we raised almost $20 million for cancer research – all of which remains a proud moment for me.


    I have run over 100 marathons and triathlons, including Ironman, Boston Marathon, Ultra Marathons, Trail Marathons, and the Grand Canyon’s Rim2Rim2Rim (3x), raising money for Alzheimer’s and ALS.


    Ask me to help, and let’s see what a difference we can make together.

  • Nashville 2 Episode 90 - Jason Elliott
    Mar 27 2024

    About Our Guest:

    I began my journey in North Carolina with my father's business in technology, ESP LLC, founded by my father, Roger Elliott. I later attended the University of North Carolina at Greensboro studying music education and trumpet performance.

    After graduating, I moved to Nashville, Tennessee to pursue a career in the music industry, eventually landing a publishing deal with Reverb XL out of London. The CEO’s unexpected passing lead me back to Nashville where I began developing customer service and people managing skills in the hospitality business.

    After several years of opening and managing restaurants in the Nashville area, I decided to use all of my experience along with the many years of IT/Telecom experience of my brother, Joe Elliott, to open our own branch of ESP. We re-branded as Elliott System Partners specializing in Unified Communications (VOIP/Contact Centers) & Cellular Mobility Solutions.


    I am highly motivated to provide reliable, sophisticated, communication solutions to businesses of any size around the world while at the same time providing unparalleled customer experiences for all.

    Hidden Gems:

    The Local

    110 28th Ave N, Nashville, TN 37203

    The Local has some of the best live music you will ever hear in town. It is truly one of my favorite places to grab a burger and a beer (the food is amazing too) and sit down to listen to new original music and old favorites.


    The Nashville Palace

    https://www.thefamousnashvillepalace.com/

    2611 McGavock Pk, Nashville, TN 37214

    The Nashville Palace is the best place to go dance and listen to some amazing classic-style country. It is one of my fiancé's favorite places to go on a Friday night since we get the chance to show off our new country swing moves, and she gets the chance to line dance.


    Monell's at The Manor

    https://monellstn.com/at-the-manor/

    1400 Murfreesboro Pike, Nashville, TN 37217

    Monell's at the Manor is my favorite place to go when you are REALLY hungry. They a super delicious all-you-can-eat family-styled restaurant in Nashville. Something other than the food that I love about Monell's is that since it's family styled you get seated at full tables, whether they are people you came with or not. It gives you an awesome opportunity to meet some pretty cool people while sharing a delicious meal.

He knew when he was in high school this was the profession he wanted to make his career so he could help others restore their health and proudly serve his community in the healthcare profession. When Dr. Marghella opened Ideal Health and Wellness Center, he wanted a place where people could go to reach their true health potential.

    “By combining chiropractic, LED fat loss Lipo-Laser technology, Spinal Decompression, K-Laser for soft tissue injuires, and the Chirothin Weight Loss program, we have the elements necessary to help people with any and all health issues”, says Dr. Marghella. “My goal was to create a practice that is an overall wellness center, essentially a one-stop shop for all your health needs. Ideal Health and Wellness Center does just that and more!”
