Guest:

John Garrett is the founder and CEO of Community Impact Newspapers, a hyperlocal news publishing company he launched in 2005 with his wife, Jennifer, out of their home in Pflugerville, Texas. A former Austin Business Journal advertising director, Garrett saw a void in community-focused journalism and created a model centered on mailing free, advertiser-supported newspapers directly to residents. Since then, he has grown Community Impact into a respected, award-winning media company spanning dozens of Texas markets, known for its deep coverage of local government, schools, business, and development, while remaining fiercely independent and committed to keeping citizens informed and engaged in their communities. 

 Based in Dripping Springs, Steve Mallett and Michelle Lewis invite you into their world of engaging conversations with guests who bring fresh ideas, humor, and wisdom to the table. They dive into everything from life’s absurdities to community quirks, adding their signature twist of small-town charm and bold candor. Think of them as the funny neighbors with the best stories, the ones who always tell it like it is. With a healthy dose of Hill Country spirit, they explore local gossip and topics that connect us all—proving you don’t need to be famous to be extraordinary; you just need a microphone and the courage to share your voice. Every episode is a mix of laughter, insight, and connection, making this podcast one you won’t want to miss!
