Changing Lives, Celebrating Women & Coastal Flavor

On this episode of Suncoast View, we celebrate the people and organizations making a real impact across the Suncoast. We begin with an inspiring conversation with Goodwill Industries–Manasota, a nonprofit dedicated to changing lives through the power of work. With nearly 1 in 27 new job placements in Florida connected to Goodwill—and close to 1,300 people placed into jobs locally last year—their impact is undeniable. Vice President of Operations Alexa O’Leary and Vice President of Engagement Melissa Carman join us to share how their mission continues to transform lives across our community. Next, we highlight the incredible work of Women in Philanthropy of Sarasota, an organization committed to uplifting and uniting female philanthropists. Each year, they honor outstanding women who go above and beyond to better Sarasota—and today, we sit down with one of those remarkable honorees, Deb Kabinoff, to hear her story and impact. Then, the spotlight turns to the arts as the Manatee School for the Arts gives us a sneak peek at their upcoming production of Rock of Ages: Teen Edition, bringing high-energy performances and young talent to the stage. Our movie expert Sam is back with a review of the latest romantic comedy, You, Me and Tuscany, sharing what audiences can expect from this feel-good film. And finally, we head into Rice’s Appliance Kitchen where Tyler and Patrick from FushiPoké whip up something fresh and delicious, giving us a taste of local flavor you won’t want to miss. It’s a packed episode full of inspiration, entertainment, and community connection—only on Suncoast View.
