East Nashville Now!

On today’s show I am privileged to be speaking Whit Gilbert. Whit is an East Nashville guy who owns and operates Surface Outreach and Designs, a local company that builds custom furniture, wood and metal applications and functional art for homes, restaurants, and offices. But more importantly, Surface Outreach and Designs is an outreach program for addicts and alcoholics in early recovery. Whit Gilbert works side by side with these guys through their recovery to help them learn valuable woodworking skills and other skills of the trade. This great company also assists and provides scholarships for people that need treatment but have no means to receive it. Whit Gilbert is creating jobs and teaching trades as well as living the recovery life right alongside people who are newly sober. In this episode we also get to learn about Fort Houston, a unique makers space here in Nashville that is redefining how people live and work.
