Second Chances, Ringling Roots & Sarasota Style

Suncoast View brings you closer to the people and stories shaping the Suncoast—one conversation at a time. In this episode, we spotlight the impact of Second Chance Last Opportunity, a Sarasota nonprofit that has spent more than 30 years helping individuals and families overcome hardship. Founder April Glasco is joined by Natalie Chapman, an honoree at the Healing and Hope Banquet, and Dr. Bianca Harris, event speaker, to share their mission of hope, healing, and second chances. We also dive into local history in Discovering the Suncoast with Mike Modrick, who uncovers the story of a lesser-known Ringling brother who played a major role in shaping the Suncoast we know today. Plus, we explore some of Sarasota’s standout businesses—from the unique home décor finds at Blu Home in South Village with co-owners Nicole Dolan and Chelsea Dunbar to important estate planning services from McNary Law. And in the kitchen, Chef Paul Mattison, owner of Mattison’s Restaurants & Catering, prepares a delicious pistachio-crusted lamb dish. It’s a blend of community, culture, history, and lifestyle—all in one episode of Suncoast View.
