Welcome back to another episode of Talks To-Go! Jill and George talk with our next special guest father/daughter duo, Emily Cole and Richard McDonald.

Emily is the dynamic co-owner and operational powerhouse behind the Savannah Bananas and Banana Ball, where she focuses on helping deliver the greatest show in sports. Emily is also the founding force behind the nonprofit  Bananas Foster, where she champions meaningful change through storytelling, advocacy, and care. She, her husband and their three kids travel with the Banana Ball teams full time, homeschooling between games and flights to the next stadium.

Richard is grew up the fifth of six children in a tight-knit farming village in upstate New York. He earned his degree from Oklahoma State University and has been a self-employed contractor ever since. He is deeply instilled with family values and a strong work ethic and his authentic optimism and determination keep his family strong and steady.

No reservations necessary. All TALKS are TO-GO.
