Having started the business in 2005, they have bought and sold over 800 houses in Metro Atlanta since this time. With Ken’s sharp business sense and construction knowledge, and Anita’s savvy Real Estate skills and design eye, they make a perfect team, complementing one another to transform homes every step of the way. Whether it’s a home that needs a simple cosmetic makeover, or one that needs to be completely gutted, they can make it happen. After spending 5 years in the corporate world, Ken’s strong interest in real estate and entrepreneurial bent led him to leave his “day job” and start the family business. He got his general contractors license two years later – which enabled the company to embark on a number of new construction opportunities. He is also the host of the popular real estate investing podcast – The Deal Farm. Anita Corsini certainly wears many hats as well, her favorite role is being wife to Ken, and mother of their three wonderful children. A former educator, she changed career paths when Ken sought to start the family business. Anita got her Real Estate license before the birth of their first child, to play a role in the company and allow the opportunity to be with both the kids and her husband. Anita believes any home can be transformed into something beautiful, and is willing to go the extra mile to make it a warm and inviting environment for someone to love. Ken and Anita are most known for their show Flip or Flop Atlanta which ran for two seasons on HGTV and their newest series, Flipping Showdown, which premiered in November of 2021.

Egypt is the CEO of Indigo Road home furnishings, and the Atlanta based Egypt Sherrod Real Estate & Design Group. Before real estate, there was radio. Egypt’s award-winning radio broadcast career spanned 20 years, scoring interviews with the likes of Oprah Winfrey, Leonardo DiCaprio, Martin Scorsese, and the late James Brown and Prince to name a few. At 30, Egypt had been syndicated in more than 60 cities throughout the U.S., including major markets such as NYC, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Atlanta. Her honest and electric delivery of sass and class quickly won over millions of listeners, making her a household name. Egypt’s first foray into real estate happened at age 22, when she flipped her first property. By the age of 34, she had flipped more than 42 personal properties, and 67 with partners. Later, Egypt’s love of real estate would lead the Temple graduate to her career as a top real estate broker and wealth educator. Now, Egypt is known as the host and co-executive producer of HGTV’s Critic’s Choice Awards-nominated, Married To Real Estate. She and her husband, builder and entrepreneur Mike Jackson, made a splash on the network after being crowned the winners of the flagship series, Rock the Block (season three).

To create the perfect expression of her design journey, Egypt has teamed up with Jeffan International, East at Main, York Wallcoverings, WallPops, and more. As a mother of three, Egypt’s approach to interior design has been shaped by her parenthood. Harper, Kendall, and bonus-daughter Simone are her greatest inspirations: “I have zero regrets on waiting until later in life to be a mom. I’m settled, grounded, and can actually laugh at myself now when I make mistakes. No mother is perfect. Being a mom has also helped me hone my design aesthetic to include functionality and sustainability which is important for everyday life. It’s my mission to prove that luxury, comfort and sustainability can coexist.” This mission is fulfilled in her upcoming consumer product line, Indigo Road, launching Fall 2023. When she isn’t busy filming, writing books, or spending time with her children, Egypt and her husband can be found recording their popular podcast, Marriage and Money Podcast with Egypt & Mike, available on Apple, Spotify, Amazon & iHeart.

Moving to Ferguson post-Ferguson to be on faculty at Washington University in St. Louis School of Medicine, this work came to life for him in the development of a wide variety of educational and clinical resources in the management of surgical emergencies across the entire spectrum of illness and healing.

He is among the proudest of Hoosiers and loves his Indiana roots. When Tad was twelve years old, he lost his mother to a drug addiction. The years that followed were dark, until he found several outlets to let light back into his life. This included demolition and construction, thanks to his step father, Leonard. Like any kid will do when presented with a good role model, he grew up wanting to be like his stepfather-a strong, hardworking, man of integrity. At the age of 17, Tad got his first construction job and has since found a sense of cathartic release through manual labor, and the energy it extolled from him. It is from that mindset that he continued to expand his construction experience from demolition to framing, cabinet install, flooring, tile, etc. These skills have given him immense gratification in seeing his handy-work come alive, knowing that what he is building will soon become someone’s home. Along with a strong work ethic, Tad has always believed that being a kind, compassionate person can get one the furthest in life. It is his free spirited nature that has made him a popular fixture on Good Bones, pulling in 13 million views each season. Season 7 will be airing on HGTV this Spring and Tad is already busy filming season 8. At the ripe age of 27, he has also been featured on HGTV’s digital series Small Space, Big Potential, Rock the Block, and is now a Real Estate Agent and General Contractor.

To date, she has helped raise more than $1 million dollars for nonprofits, community-driven organizations, and initiatives that create lasting change. She currently serves as a judge for the prestigious James Beard Broadcast Media Awards and produces cross-border culinary experiences and festivals—including the acclaimed Culinary Concerto—that celebrate culture, food, and binational collaboration.

A transgender chef who worked his way up without formal training, Ollie understands the breadth of the kitchen experience better than most. Born in Cleveland, Ohio to a large family, Ollie's passion for food developed at the dinner table. His professional cooking career began in his hometown, and took flight under James Beard Award-winning chef Jonathan Sawyer at the acclaimed Greenhouse Tavern. His time with Sawyer catapulted Ollie toward a fruitful career heading up beloved local haunts in Portland, Oregon. It was here that he started to rethink what it means to be both on-the-line and a leader in the third space. As he moved from cook to chef, Ollie also transitioned from presenting as a woman in an industry riddled with addiction and unchecked sexism to running kitchens as a white man. These experiences inform not only the way he develops a menu, but how he builds a team. Ollie sees leadership in much the same way as he sees food - a little seasoning mixed with a lot of love can yield something truly transformative. Ollie is now in Chicago, crafting playful dishes that highlight unexpected flavor combinations and dynamic beverage programs inspired by international flavors.

Sean is a basketball superfan who has played the sport from high school through college and intoadulthood.As an aspiring actor and writer, Sean decided in college that the best way to pursue both careers was to write a script and try to secure roles both in front of and behind the camera. That script was a mini series about Larry Bird and Magic Johnson, based on a favorite book Sean read in college called When March Went Mad, by Seth Davis. Sean optioned the book, which captures the early life trials and tribulations of these would-be superstars. His script traces the beginning of their storied rivalry, culminating in the most watched basketball event of all time–the 1979 NCAA championship game.While shopping his script around, and after securing Emmy Award-winning director Thomas Carter tohelm the show, Sean learned that HBO Max was doing their own series about the Lakers. Winning Time:The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty chronicles the rise of the team’s success in the 1980s, beginning close to where Sean’s script left off. When Bo Burnham, cast as Larry Bird, had to drop out of the project, Sean was able to get in front of their casting team through his representatives. A week later, he landed the role he always wanted to play, and began filming shortly after.Sean was born in Mountain View, CA, and raised in the Bay Area. While attending high school in Los Altos, he took an acting class and was hooked. He had the opportunity to learn about film production and act again in two independent short films while attending the University of California, Davis. After transferring to the University of Southern California for his final two years of college, he enrolled in their Critical Studios of Film program, and gained more acting experience in student films before graduating.From that point on, Sean became fully immersed in the entertainment industry, working as a production assistant and writing, directing, and acting in shorts and web series.He earned a Best Actor Award at the LA Live Film Festival for his lead role in the dramatic short film ‘The Just.’Sean continues to act and write while working at Endemol Shine North America, a production and distribution company and creator of television and digital content.

Innovator, and Legacy Builder James Stobar is an accomplished industrial designer with over 25 years of experience turning bold ideas into impactful products. A fourth-generation designer, James graduated with honors from Art Center College of Design in 2000, following in the footsteps of his father and grandfather, both car designers at Ford Motor Co. His father, an award winning designer and inventor who also served as a professor at Art Center, recently passed away. James is proud to carry forward his legacy of creativity, craftsmanship, and innovation, with a deep appreciation for thoughtful design that solves real-world problems. As the Lead Designer at JS Products, Inc., James designs and engineers the development of high-performance tools for the automotive and industrial sectors. You’ll find his designs on the shelves of major hardware stores like Lowe’s, Home Depot, and Menards. He co-founded the ToughBuilt tool brand in 2003, playing a key role in developing products that pushed the boundaries of traditional tool design with innovative features aimed at improving efficiency and safety. His global experience includes working in China, where he collaborated directly with manufacturers to bring complex designs to life, and he speaks a bit of Mandarin, which has enriched his ability to order Chinese food. James credits having dyslexia for helping him see outside the box, fostering a unique approach to problem-solving and design thinking. With multiple patents under his belt, his portfolio reflects his ability to identify everyday challenges and engineer products that offer simple yet effective solutions. Married to a fashion designer, James and his wife are launching an innovative box opening tool, marking their first collaboration—a project that showcases their combined creativity and practical problem-solving skills. James’s expertise lies in blending creative vision with practical engineering, solving complex design challenges, and bringing products from concept to market. When he’s not deep in design work, you’ll probably find him accidentally burning a steak, being outmaneuvered by his 3-year-old, or binging Sci-Fi shows—because even designers need inspiration from galaxies far, far away. https://www.arccltv.com/amanda-freitag daily 0.75 2025-03-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/670088bf125d8117001cc29a/ccf5edda-0fff-4ff4-904a-955be5ba96c9/AF+Landmarc.jpg Amanda Freitag - Amanda Freitag Chef, Food Network Judge Born and raised in New Jersey, chef, television personality, and author Amanda Freitag has become a culinary maven.

A fan favorite from Top Chef Season 3 and Top Chef All-Stars (Season 17), Malarkey later claimed victory as a mentor on ABC’s The Taste alongside Anthony Bourdain, solidifying his place as one of television’s most engaging and influential culinary personalities. Most recently, Malarkey has expanded his voice into the world of podcasting. He co-hosts a lively and thought-provoking relationship podcast with his partner, Danielle Harley. Blending Gen X wisdom with Millennial insight, the couple dives into honest conversations about modern love, connection, and partnership—with heart, humor, and vulnerability at the center of every episode.

In 2015, she made a radical move—buying Julia Child’s former summer home in the South of France sight unseen—and transformed it into the Courageous Cooking School, where she developed the first proven method for seasonal, recipe-optional cooking. Her mission? To liberate home cooks from the tyranny of perfection and teach them how to think, taste, and create like intuitive chefs. It’s not about memorizing steps, it’s about building real (kitchen) confidence. Her latest venture, RecipeKick, continues that mission by helping people cook smarter with what they have on hand, making meals more sustainable, affordable, and joyful. Makenna’s cookbook, Mostly French (2025), is a love letter to the style of cooking she’s become known for: unfussy, deeply flavorful, and rooted in both tradition and improvisation. It’s part story, part method, and all heart. She is also the founder of Okay, Perfect, a majority queer‑owned, women/non-binary-led hospitality group operating in both Colorado and France. Through food, design, and culture, the collective builds brands that challenge conventional hospitality by prioritizing consciousness, equity, and intention, from how spaces are designed to how people are paid and supported. A graduate of Smith College, NYU, and Le Cordon Bleu, Makenna lives in Grasse, France, with her husband, Chris, and their daughter, Magnolia. Her first restaurant, Detour, opens August 1, 2025.
