On this episode of Inside Northwest Columbus, we sit down with Kim Goodman, Executive Director of the McConnell Arts Center, to talk about the experiences, events, and creative opportunities happening right here in our community.
From the Worthington Arts Festival to upcoming exhibits and hands-on classes for all ages, the MAC is offering more ways than ever to get out, try something new, and actually experience art—not just look at it.
We get into what’s coming up this season, what’s worth planning ahead for, and how to take advantage of programs that most people don’t even realize are available.
If you’re looking for something different to do this summer—something creative, local, and genuinely worth your time—this is your inside look at what to put on your calendar now.

6 MAG 2026 · What if the most beautiful homes weren’t the most perfect—but the most personal?
On this episode of Inside Northwest Columbus, we sit down with Jessica Brugger, founder and principal designer of Dwell Well Design Co., to explore a shift happening in design—one that moves away from perfection and toward meaning.
As the creator of Design Alchemy, Jessica shares how homeowners are rethinking their spaces—from fully styled, “finished” rooms to homes that are layered, lived-in, and evolving over time.
In this conversation, you’ll walk away with a new way to think about your home—how to start making more confident design decisions, how to layer pieces so your space actually tells your story, and how to create rooms that feel both elevated and comfortable without chasing trends.
We also get into practical shifts you can make right away—what to stop doing, what to prioritize instead, and how to make your home feel more like you without starting from scratch.
If your home looks good but doesn’t quite feel right, this will give you a completely different lens—and a few simple ways to start changing that immediately.
This isn’t about trends. It’s about creating spaces that feel like you.
DIY-er? Great! But if you need help, call Jessica. To download a copy of Design Alchemy 2026, please visit Jessica’s website.

29 APR 2026 · Remodeling a home is often approached as a checklist — timelines, budgets, and finishes. But for most homeowners, the experience is far more personal than that.
Today on Inside Northwest Columbus, we’re talking with Tammy Yee and James Cooley, the team behind Cooley Construction. Based in Worthington, they’ve built their company around a different philosophy — one that prioritizes collaboration, communication, and how the process feels just as much as the final result.
From asking better questions at the start to thoughtfully assembling the right team of designers and architects, Tammy and James approach each project with intention. They understand that remodeling isn’t just a construction project — it’s a disruption to daily life, a series of decisions, and often, a deeply emotional experience for homeowners.
In this conversation, we’re diving into what most people get wrong about remodeling, how to avoid common pitfalls, and why the right partner can completely transform not just your home — but your entire experience getting there.

22 APR 2026 · Divorce is one of life’s most difficult transitions — emotionally, legally, and financially.
But one of the biggest decisions couples must face during the process is often the home. Should it be sold? Should one spouse stay? When is the right time to move? And how do you make these decisions while navigating attorneys, court timelines, and financial uncertainty?
Today on Inside Northwest Columbus, we’re talking with Sarah Thress, a real estate professional, author and founder of Thrive and Decide. Sarah works with individuals and families during one of the most stressful seasons of life — helping them make clear, informed decisions about their home while coordinating with attorneys, financial professionals, and the legal process.
She’s also the founder of The Thrive and Decide Podcast, a podcast designed to support women going through divorce, and the author of Simplifying Your First Home Purchase, a guide to helping buyers approach homeownership with clarity and confidence.
Today’s conversation isn’t just about buying and selling real estate — it’s about navigating change, protecting financial stability, and rebuilding the next chapter of life.

15 APR 2026 · Money used to be simple — at least in theory. You saved, invested, and hoped the markets cooperated.
But today, financial decisions are more complex than ever. Taxes, insurance, retirement income strategies, estate planning, and constantly changing regulations all influence whether a financial plan actually works.
At the same time, technology has made investing easier and cheaper than ever before. Apps promise instant portfolios. Online tools claim to replace advisors entirely.
So the question many people are asking is: Do you really need a financial advisor anymore?
This week on Inside Northwest Columbus, we’re talking with Nathan Daugherty of NDF Financial Advisors, who explains how the role of a financial advisor has evolved — and why modern financial planning is about far more than picking investments.
We explore how technology is transforming financial planning, why the most important value an advisor provides today is seeing the whole picture, and how working with a professional can help individuals and families make smarter decisions at every stage of life.
If you've ever wondered whether you're making the right financial decisions — or whether you're missing something important — this conversation is for you.

25 MAR 2026 · Most homeowners don’t think about their trees or landscaping until something looks wrong — thinning leaves, leaning trunks, exposed roots, or visible decay. But by the time those signs appear, options can be limited.
In this episode of Inside Northwest Columbus, I sit down with Elliot Smith, ISA-Certified Arborist and owner of Big Darby Tree Service, to talk about why proactive tree care matters — especially before driveways, patios, additions, or landscaping projects begin.
We explore the hidden warning signs homeowners often miss, common (and costly) mistakes, and how thoughtful tree stewardship protects not only your landscape but your home’s long-term value. If you’re investing in outdoor spaces this year, this conversation may change how you approach your trees.

18 MAR 2026 · For eight seasons, Mike Mayers competed at the highest level of professional baseball — pitching for organizations including the St. Louis Cardinals, Los Angeles Angels, and Kansas City Royals. Life on the mound demanded preparation, resilience, and the ability to perform under pressure.
Today, that same mindset fuels a very different pursuit.
In this episode of Inside Northwest Columbus, I sit down with Mike, owner of The Designery Columbus, to talk about his transition from Major League Baseball to the world of home design and remodeling — and why his new showroom at 329 W. Bridge Street in Dublin represents more than just a retail space. It represents clarity in an industry often defined by overwhelm.
We discuss identity shifts, leadership, and the surprising parallels between professional sports and building kitchens, baths, and everyday living spaces. From real-time 3D design renderings and virtual walkthroughs to a culture rooted in teamwork and accountability, Mike shares how The Designery is redefining the remodeling experience for homeowners across Central Ohio.
If you’ve ever felt anxious about making big design decisions — or wondered how someone pivots from the mound to managing a design-build firm — this episode offers perspective, honesty, and inspiration.

11 MAR 2026 · As the days get longer and homeowners begin thinking about how they want to live outside this season — and for years to come — outdoor living has become more than a backyard upgrade. It’s become an extension of the home itself.
In this episode of Inside Northwest Columbus, I sit down with Mike Chekanoff, owner of The Exterior Living Company, to talk about the evolution of outdoor living in our community. What was once a simple deck or patio is now being designed with the same intention as a kitchen renovation or great room addition — focused on connection, flow, and long-term livability.
We talk about Mike’s roots in the building trades, how he built his company right here in Northwest Columbus, and why thoughtful design — not just features — is driving today’s biggest outdoor trends. From seamless indoor-outdoor transitions and elevation strategy to motorized screens, phased outdoor kitchens, and four-season comfort, this conversation explores how outdoor spaces are becoming calmer, more functional, and truly integrated with the home.
If you’ve ever looked at your backyard and imagined something more — or wondered what makes an outdoor space feel cohesive instead of chaotic — this episode offers clarity, insight, and inspiration for designing spaces that are built to last.

25 FEB 2026 · You may know the name High Road Gallery — you may have driven past it, attended an opening, or heard it mentioned in conversation — but most people don’t truly understand what this gallery is, who it exists for, or why it matters.
In this episode of Inside Northwest Columbus, I sit down with resident artists and gallery stewards Nicky Robie and Beth Heisey to explore the deeper story behind High Road Gallery. This nonprofit space was created to showcase local artists, foster meaningful connection, and make art accessible — all within a nearly 200-year-old historic building that has become a quiet anchor in our community.
We talk about the gallery’s founding vision, how artists stepped into stewardship of both a creative mission and a historic space, and what it actually takes to keep local art visible, supported, and thriving. This conversation pulls back the curtain on the role community-supported art plays in shaping a place — and why supporting spaces like High Road Gallery is about investing in culture, creativity, and connection.
If you’ve ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes of a local gallery, why community art spaces matter, or how supporting local artists strengthens the fabric of where we live, this episode offers clarity, perspective, and a renewed appreciation for a true local gem.

18 FEB 2026 · By day, Barrel & Bloom is a welcoming coffee house designed for connection, conversation, and community. At 2pm, the space transforms into Endeavor Brewing — a craft distillery producing small-batch gin, whiskey, and bourbon across two locations.
In this episode of Inside Northwest Columbus, we sit down with owners Jen Gerhard and Scott Talmage to explore how intentional design, time-based experiences, and community-driven events shape everything they do. From morning rituals to evening spirits, this conversation goes beyond what’s in the cup or glass — and into how modern businesses can become true gathering places.
A lot of people don’t realize that some of the most meaningful community spaces today aren’t churches, offices, or traditional venues — they’re thoughtfully designed local businesses.
In this conversation, Jen and Scott break down:
1. Why they intentionally created a space that evolves throughout the day
2. How coffee, spirits, and events each serve different community needs
3. What it takes to host inclusive, welcoming gatherings
4. How small-batch craft and shared experiences build real connection
Whether you’re a regular customer, a creative entrepreneur, or someone who values local community, this episode reframes what hospitality can look like.
Please visit Barrel & Bloom (and their amazing Bischoff Lattes!!) from 8:30am - 2:00pm at 2365 Dublin Granville Rd in Linworth. After 2pm Barrel & Bloom becomes Endeavor Brewing serving their locally made Gin, Whiskey, Bourbon and more!
