This week on The Groove Life Podcast, we sit down with John and Taylor Lillibridge, the owners of Goldfinch Tap & Eatery. John and Taylor always push themselves to try new things, explore bold flavors, and build something meaningful through food. Their passion doesn’t stop at the kitchen, though — they’re huge lovers of Christmas, giving back, and finding ways to support the community that supports them.

We talk about what it takes to run a local restaurant, staying creative in a tough industry, why trying new things matters, and how Goldfinch has become more than just a place to eat — it’s a place that brings people together. A great conversation with great people, and a reminder of why supporting local matters.

To usher in the holiday spirit we enjoyed some boozy apple ciders with our guests, Tatum Calderwood and Molly Owen. These two are the talented actresses who play Elsa and Anna in Theatre Cedar Rapids’ captivating production of Frozen! We discussed how life is driven by cats, community and a good cup of coffee. You really don’t wanna miss this show (the pod and the musical)!

In this episode, Shane sits down with local entrepreneur Jade Luter, a powerhouse who has owned and operated multiple restaurants and bars across the Cedar Rapids area. Jade is a true Jeep girl at heart — loud, fast, and unapologetically driven — and she brings that same energy into everything she builds.

Jade shares what it takes to lead from the trenches, build successful businesses, and stay grounded through it all. It’s an inspiring conversation with a woman who knows how to hustle, serve, and make an impact on her community.
