    The 2025 Recap: The Wins, the Hard Days, and What's Coming in 2026 (with Joey Rogers)

    It's officially the final episode of 2025 — recorded in real time on December 30th — and we're closing out the year with a candid, no-filter conversation. Joey Rogers joins me to reflect on what was easily one of the hardest (and most growth-filled) years we've ever experienced as business owners. We're talking about the tough lessons, the momentum we built in the second half of the year, and the big wins that kept us going — including Lynchburg's one-year anniversary, launching the DCC apprenticeship partnership, and bringing the Krush Race to South Boston Speedway. Plus, we're sharing personal highlights, from 75 Hard to Love for Golf, and what we're most excited about heading into 2026. And of course… we're starting the episode with a birthday shoutout to Kenney — the creative force behind everything you see from Hello Hello and Rogers media. If you've ever wanted a real behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to grow through chaos, stay disciplined through pressure, and still show up every day… this episode is for you.

    A New Year, A New Beginning: Prayer, Healing, and Hope in the Sinai Community

    In this deeply moving episode of the Hello, Hello Podcast, host Alyssa Rogers sits down with community leader, pastor, and entrepreneur Anthony Womack for an honest conversation about faith, redemption, and the power of community. Anthony shares his powerful journey growing up in the Sinai community—navigating violence, hardship, and life-altering choices—and how his faith transformed pain into purpose. From surviving trauma at a young age to earning his master's degree, becoming a minister, and founding businesses rooted in service, Anthony's story is a testament to resilience and God's timing. The conversation also highlights an inspiring community initiative: a January 1st Day of Prayer at the future Sinai playground site. This event brings together prayer, free food, mental health resources, education opportunities, and job connections—offering a holistic approach to healing and hope for the year ahead. This episode is about second chances, listening when God speaks in quiet moments, and choosing to be a bridge instead of a wall. If you're entering the new year seeking hope, healing, or a reminder of what community truly means, this episode will speak straight to your heart.   Hello Hello is Powered by Rogers Heating & Cooling: www.callrogers.com

    I Don't Have It Together

    In this solo episode of the Hello Hello Podcast, Alyssa is keeping it real. December has flown by, the weather is wild, business is booming, and if she's being honest—she doesn't have it all together. Between record-breaking call volume, a hardworking team showing up every day, and the pressure of the holiday season, Alyssa reflects on what it really looks like when the year gets away from you. She shares a behind-the-scenes look at stepping back into the day-to-day at Rogers, being humbled by the work her team does, and remembering the early days when she prayed for the phone to ring. This episode is equal parts gratitude, exhaustion, perspective, and reassurance—for anyone feeling overwhelmed as the year comes to a close. If you're feeling frazzled, behind, or questioning how you're holding it all together, this one's for you. Take a breath. It's going to be okay. ✨ Plus, Alyssa gives a sneak peek at an upcoming year-end recap episode with Joey that you won't want to miss.

    Robotics, Rural Roots, and Road to Worlds with Team 977 CometBots

    This week on the Hello Hello Podcast, Alyssa Rogers visits Main Street United Methodist Church in South Boston, Virginia to meet the CometBots — Halifax County's own FIRST Robotics Team 977. In a lively, behind-the-scenes conversation, team members Jude, Helen, Preston, and Matthew break down what it really takes to build a competition robot, from design and programming to hands-on technical work and drive practice. You'll hear how they find their roles, train new members, and stay bonded through the inevitable stress of build season. The CometBots walk us through what competition weekends look like, how alliances and point systems work, and what it takes to qualify for the ultimate stage: Worlds, where hundreds of teams battle it out and swap knowledge through top-tier conferences. Beyond trophies, this team's mission runs deep. In a rural community where STEM opportunities can be limited, the CometBots are determined to grow robotics awareness, inspire younger students, and prove that South Boston is a place where big innovation can happen. They also share how the community can support their journey — through mentoring, materials, sponsorships, and simply spreading the word. If you've ever wondered how robotics can shape futures, build confidence, and open doors to engineering careers, this episode will leave you inspired.

    Hospitality with Heart: The Story Behind The Bee, Holbrook, and The Laurel

    In this episode of the Hello, Hello Podcast, Alyssa Rogers is coming to you from the gorgeous Holbrook Hotel in Danville, Virginia — and yes, it's the presidential suite. She's joined by Madison Eades, the General Manager of Danville's beloved boutique hotel collection: The Bee Hotel, The Holbrook, and the soon-to-open Laurel Hotel. Madison shares her journey from catching the "hospitality bug" as a high-school country club employee to earning her degree at Virginia Tech, opening a Hilton Curio property right after graduation, navigating the industry through COVID, and returning home to help shape Danville's growing tourism scene. Together, Alyssa and Madison dive into what makes boutique hospitality so special — the personalization, the creative freedom, the historic character, and the way great teams build real relationships with guests (and their dogs!). Madison walks us through the unique vibe and story behind each property, what's coming next — including rooftop happy hours at The Bee — and how Danville's neighborhoods are transforming into true destinations. They also talk leadership, career paths in hospitality, and why Madison went back to school for her Master's at Cornell while opening a third hotel. If you've ever dreamed of working in hospitality, love a good staycation, or are curious about what's happening in Danville right now, this episode will leave you inspired and ready to book a room.

    Riley Rogers Returns: The Thanksgiving Tradition

    In this sweet, laugh-out-loud annual Thanksgiving tradition, Alyssa Rogers welcomes her favorite guest on the planet—Riley Rogers—back to the Hello Hello Podcast. With zero prep and maximum personality, Riley shares what she's most excited about this holiday season (spoiler: it's all about the butter… turkey butter, Christmas butter, and even lamb butter), who she's thankful for, and what life has been like since summer. The two chat about Riley's big year at school, her iconic Grinch-green Fun Dip tongue, and her starring roles in two upcoming plays—Christmas in Black and White (as a "big funky penguin") and Frog and Toad (as the most accurate squirrel you've ever met). Riley also dishes on her love of PE, lunch, gymnastics, chapter books, and a very serious reading mission: Wonka. Wrap up the episode with rapid-fire questions, giggles, and a heartfelt Thanksgiving message for listeners. It's short, cheerful, and full of the candid charm that makes this yearly episode a fan favorite. Happy Thanksgiving from Alyssa and Riley—may your plate be full and your heart even fuller.   Hello Hello is Powered by Rogers Heating & Cooling: www.callrogers.com

    From Summer Job to Family Legacy: Inside Rozier Termite & Pest Control

    In this episode of Hello Hello, Alyssa heads to South Hill, Virginia for the show's very first South Hill business feature and sits down with Michael Wallace, co-owner of Rozier Termite & Pest Control. Michael shares how a teenage summer job turned into a lifelong career, and how he and his wife went from operating out of their home to opening a beautiful new office right in the heart of town. They talk about what it's really like to grow a husband-and-wife business, when they decided to start "pushing" their growth, and their big vision to expand north toward Richmond. Michael also breaks down practical, homeowner-friendly advice on pest control: from rodents looking for warmth in the winter, to those infamous "stink bugs," to monthly mosquito treatments, and why crawl space moisture and encapsulation matter more than most people realize. You'll also hear how Michael has built a team of kind, trustworthy technicians, what he looks for when hiring, and his #1 tip for families who want a safe, effective approach to pest control. If you're a homeowner, a fellow business owner, or just curious what's really going on under your house, this episode is for you.
