Join Morgan and her guests: Tracey Franklin, Owner of Aspire Barber and Beauty Academy and Kosta Yepifantsev, Owner of Home Caregivers. For those of you who don’t know me, I’m the Producer of Better Together with Kosta Yepifantsev, and I run the behind the scenes of this podcast.

In 2025, Tracey and Kosta became the Putnam County Representatives for a dance competition hosted by WCTE called Let’s Dance. In honor of their upcoming performance and the continued success and longevity of our local PBS: WCTE we hope you enjoy this special episode.

In this episode: Will you tell us about Let’s Dance? What is it? How did you get involved? On a scale of 1-10, how likely is it for you to both be on next season’s Dancing with the Stars? Other than winning, what do you hope to accomplish by competing on Let’s Dance? What’s been the challenging part of training? Has it been easier or harder than you thought?
