"If we don't change, we don't grow."
In this episode, I’m sitting down with Paul Myers, Jr. Paul is a native of New York who moved to Charlottesville, VA with his family a little more than 20 years ago. He’s a father to an amazing 4-year-old named Preston, a co-founder and leader of the Prolyfyck Run Creww, and is a chef at the multiple restaurants housed inside the Quirk Hotel in downtown Charlottesville. It goes without saying that he loves to cook, and he also enjoys spending quality time with his son and his dogs.
LISTEN
