In this episode, Tim Goodwin sits down with Chris Brazelton, Executive Director of Woodstock Arts, to explore how art can be a heartbeat for the community and how generosity can show up through creativity.

Chris shares his story, from studying theater at Florida State to leading Woodstock Arts right here in Cherokee County, Georgia. Under his leadership, Woodstock Arts has become a vibrant hub offering theater, music, visual arts, and education programs for all ages. Whether it’s pottery classes, improv for professionals, or music under the stars, their goal is to make art accessible and meaningful for everyone.

This episode touches on:

Why community-centered arts matters even for those who don’t think of themselves as “artsy”
How Woodstock Arts helps solve real community problems (like partnering with foster agencies and mental health nonprofits)
What it means to create a space where people feel connected, seen, and inspired
The power of local giving and how businesses (like Goodwin Investment Advisory) can partner to make a lasting impact

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 For our listeners who are quietly building wealth and want to give back meaningfully, this conversation is a reminder that generosity isn’t always financial. Time, talents, and presence all matter.

🎨 Whether you’re retired, raising kids, or running a business, you’ll walk away inspired to use what you have to make where you live better.
