  • From Morning Rituals to Community Gatherings: Barrel & Bloom & Endeavor Brewing

    From Morning Rituals to Community Gatherings: Barrel & Bloom & Endeavor Brewing
    Feb 18 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!

  • The Healing They Never Told You About: Hyperbaric Oxygen & PEMF Explained

    The Healing They Never Told You About: Hyperbaric Oxygen & PEMF Explained
    Feb 11 2026
    What if healing didn’t stop where traditional medicine draws the line? This conversation is for anyone who’s ever felt like they were told, ‘This is as good as it gets.’
    In this powerful episode of Inside Northwest Columbus, host Lisa Federico sits down with Rebecca Milnes, founder of The Avenu Wellness Center, to unpack two therapies more people should know about: hyperbaric oxygen therapy and PEMF.
    Rebecca’s journey into wellness didn’t start with a business plan—it started with her daughter’s medical crisis and a desperate search for hope. What she discovered changed everything. Together, we talk about how oxygen at a cellular level supports healing, why PEMF is often paired with hyperbaric therapy, and why so many patients are never told these options exist.
    This episode is about more than technology—it’s about patient advocacy, asking better questions, and refusing to accept “this is as good as it gets” as the final answer.
    If you or someone you love is navigating recovery, chronic inflammation, pain, or unexplained symptoms—or if you simply want to understand what’s possible when healing is supported from the inside out—this conversation is for you.
    🎙️ Listen now and discover why awareness is often the first step toward healing.

  • Rewiring the Brain: What Neurofeedback Actually Does for ADD, Anxiety & TBI

    Rewiring the Brain: What Neurofeedback Actually Does for ADD, Anxiety & TBI
    Feb 4 2026
    Most people have never heard of neurofeedback — and if they have, they often assume it’s “out there,” experimental, or too good to be true. But for families who have watched their children finally focus, adults who’ve seen anxiety loosen its grip, or individuals recovering from trauma and brain injury, the results can be life-changing.
    On this episode of Inside Northwest Columbus, we’re sitting down with Joe Matessa, founder of BrainTune Columbus, to demystify neurofeedback and explain what it actually does — without hype, without gimmicks.
    Joe’s journey into neurofeedback began as a personal search for answers when traditional approaches weren’t delivering meaningful change. What he discovered was a powerful, non-invasive technology that helps the brain regulate itself — often producing noticeable improvements in focus, emotional regulation, sleep, and resilience.
    In this conversation, Joe breaks down how neurofeedback works, who it’s best suited for, and why it’s gaining traction among parents, professionals, and healthcare practitioners alike. We also address skepticism head-on — because informed curiosity is the first step to real understanding.
    If you’ve ever wondered whether there are options beyond medication or talk therapy — or if you simply want to better understand how the brain can be trained to function more efficiently — this episode will expand your perspective.
