In this episode of The Lead Lamp Podcast, we sit down with Billy Morrison, founder of The 611 Collective, to talk about building community in a world that feels increasingly disconnected. What started as a cigar lounge has grown into a thoughtfully designed space where people slow down, put their phones away, and engage in real conversation. Billy shares the story behind the 611 name, the intention behind the space, and how creating meaningful experiences has turned customers into a true community.

This week on the Lead Lamp Podcast, we sit down with Corrie from Inspired By U, based in Mechanicsburg and known for cabinet refinishing that’s grown into full kitchen and bath transformations. We talk team-building (“hire character, train skill”), why trust and presence in the home matters, and what it looks like to measure success by impact in the community you grew up in.
