ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Ben Rodgers sits down with John Deane of the Jackson County and Gainesboro Chambers of Commerce, who shares his journey from Baltimore and Washington, D.C. to building a life and multiple businesses in Granville, Tennessee. John talks about meeting his wife, their careers in medical research and healthcare, and the unexpected leap from hospitals to hospitality as owners of Wildwood Resort and Marina. He reflects on transforming the old marina into a thriving destination, opening Miss Sallie’s Market, launching a frozen custard shop, and how these projects have strengthened his role within the Chamber by deepening his connection and sense of belonging in the community. John also shares stories of their national chef search during COVID and the ongoing work to renovate a 1930s building through an asbestos-removal grant. It’s an inspiring conversation about community investment, entrepreneurship, and the impact of becoming truly rooted in a small town.
