    Ep 9 Lindsay Blaze, Owner of Gas Boss

    Episode 9: Turning a Pit Stop into a Place of Belonging with Lindsay Blaze In Episode 9 of Shutter’s Full Podcast, hosts Alisa and Brittany sit down with Lindsay Blaze, the owner and proprietor of Gas Boss in Bon Aqua, Tennessee, for a conversation that is both deeply moving and wildly inspiring. At its core, this episode is about connection—real, human, soul-level connection—and what can happen when someone has the courage to reimagine what a place can be. Lindsay is a curator of story and branding by nature, shaped through years of travel and creative work that sharpened her eye for the raw and real in life. About 4 years ago, she stepped into one of her boldest chapters yet: taking over a rural gas station with a dark reputation as the number one drug pickup and drop-off point for three surrounding counties. What stood there before was marked by fear and avoidance. What stands there now is something entirely different. Under Lindsay’s leadership, Gas Boss has been transformed into an experience rooted in joy, safety, and genuine welcome. With each passing year, thoughtful additions have expanded the vision—an ice cream shop, a bait and ammo shack, and a general store—each one intentionally designed to invite people to slow down, stay awhile, and connect. But the true heartbeat of Gas Boss isn’t what’s sold; it’s how people are seen. Throughout the episode, Lindsay shares her heart for creating spaces where both staff and customers are valued, known, and invited to be exactly who they are. Her leadership is grounded in presence, courage, and the belief that small, consistent acts of kindness can change a community. This conversation is a powerful reminder that redemption doesn’t always look loud or flashy. Sometimes, it looks like a country gas station in Bon Aqua—rebuilt with love, vision, and an open door. Ya'll go make sure you stop by and experience Gas Boss for yourself.  Gas Boss 7328 SR-100, Bon Aqua, TN @gassbosstn on Instagram https://youtu.be/lVTB8ZWR5GU Support the show Want to connect further...
