She then went on to earn her Masters in Interior Design, NESAD at Suffolk University. She founded her first interior design company, All Phase Design Services in 2004 which focused on high end interior design with an emphasis on individual style and functionality. After years of working with her clients and being their advocate in discussions with their contractors, Alysha went on to receive her Construction Supervisor – Unrestricted license and form Alluring Concepts in 2013. Alysha believes that home owners, designers, and contractors should work as one team to help the vision come to life. She believes strongly that, as with most trades, the lingo, norms, and general standards can be frustrating to non-tradesmen (i.e., the homeowners). Alluring concepts bridges the gap and ensures that the client’s dreams and wants are heard above all else. Above all, what drives her are the long-lasting friendships that began through the very work she dedicates his life to and the new relationships she makes with each project. When she is not passionately designing and advocating for her clients, Alysha enjoys spending time with her husband, travel, and personal design and carpentry projects.© 2026 PodProEntertainment.com#PaulPondersPodcast #PaulPonders #Indeed #HomeRenovation #DesignBuild #HGTVInspired #ModernLiving #SmartHomes #ADU #RealEstateTips #HomeUpgrade #DreamHomeGoals #HomeMakeover #PropertyInvestment #RenovationTips #LifestyleUpgrade #HomeDesignInspo #TheNewRadio

Ep.81 - The Business of Trust
What keeps a local store alive for generations? 🧠Hint: it’s not algorithms—it’s people! ❤️✅ How Teddy Shoes began in 1957 with a risk, a family bet, and $11,000✅ Steve Adelson’s unexpected path from hospitality to small business ownership✅ Why being “passed over” sparked a legacy that still thrives today✅ The smart pivot that turned Teddy Shoes into a dance-world destination✅ Building trust with brands like Capezio, Fuego, and global dance suppliers✅ Why in-person fitting still beats online shopping every time✅ How customer-first thinking keeps people loyal for decades✅ What it means to be named a Cambridge Legacy Business✅ Balancing e-commerce with brick-and-mortar authenticity✅ Why relationships—not profit—drive long-term successTrends fade—but businesses rooted in service and community always find their footing. 🧠 👟Website: https://www.teddyshoes.com/Steve Adelson arrived at Teddy Shoes, Inc. on August 21, 1978. Having graduated from four years of college at Michigan State University with a degree in business and a minor in Hotel & Restaurant Management and one year as an assistant food manager working at Saga Food Service at the University of Miami, Steve got an offer from his dad Ted to join Teddy Shoes. Dad had three stores at the time ( Cambridge, Somerville and Watertown ) and could use the help running the operation. Steve always wanted to have the opportunity to be his own boss, but never thought he would end up in the family business.So the partnership began! The store specialized in family footwear and factory seconds/cancellations during its inception in 1957 and through the 80’s. In 1985, the Davis Square Somerville location was lost because of higher lease costs. East Boston under the name Kushner’s was added to the store’s operations. In 1987, Steve began the process of buying the business, and Teddy Shoes became Teddy Shoes, Inc.In 1993, a turning point came in the life of the business. Factory seconds and cancellations dried up, and the decision to add more dance lines to the store's business began. First, Capezio had closed two of its operations near us, and customers were asking for the brand. So a $3000 opening order was written ( This seemed like an astronomical amount at the time ), and then brands like Bloch, Body Wrappers, Motionwear, Sansha and So Danca were added in the years that followed.Today Teddy Shoes, Inc. has become a mecca for dance beginners and aficionados. In May 2013, a new website was launched which brought many of the store’s products online. Last year a new logo and home page was developed. Further improvements will be forthcoming. Today 88% of the business comes from Dance!As the store enters its 60th anniversary, Steve will be completing his 39th season. Large footsteps were left by the originator himself, Theodore Adelson, Mr. Teddy himself. Steve is proud to be carrying on the tradition of this valuable institution that serves the dance community and the greater Boston area. As is customary, Steve welcomes your comments, interaction and suggestions. He can be reached at the store at 617-354-2987 or via email at [email protected]: Paul Ponders Ep.81© 2026 PodProEntertainment.com#PaulPondersPodcast #PaulPonders #Indeed #TeddyShoes #SmallBusinessLegacy #RetailSuccess #CommunityBusiness #DanceRetail #CustomerExperience #RetailLeadership #SmallBizMindset #CustomerFirst #LegacyBusiness #EntrepreneurJourney #DanceCommunity #PeopleOverProfit #TimelessBusiness #TheNewRadio

Ep.47 - Multiple Hall of Fame Coach Frank "Porky" Vieira, University of New Haven.
An amazing, inspiring, and thought-provoking chat with the Legendary Coach Frank Vieira. After 44 years of coaching Baseball at the University of New Haven, one can only imagine the unbelievable stories that Coach V can tell our listeners. It is an honor to have Coach V on as a guest, through one (1) of his standout pitchers/"son", past Paul Ponders Guest- Dave Caiazzo! Play Ball! ⚾ YouTube: Paul Ponders Ep.47 © 2024 PodProEntertainment.com The University of New Haven boasts one of the most storied baseball programs in the history of NCAA Division II, and a large portion of the program's success in past, present and future can be attributed to its founder and first head coach – the legendary Frank "Porky" Vieira. Under Vieira, who founded the program in 1962 and helmed the dugout from the team's inaugural season in 1963 through the 2006 campaign, New Haven baseball posted an all-time record of 1,127-324-6 in 44 seasons. That remarkable stretch included a string of 42 straight winning seasons from 1963 to 2004, and 43 winning campaigns overall. Beyond the University of New Haven and the Northeast, Vieira is one of the all-time greats in the college game. Through the spring of 2013, Vieira ranks second in Division II history with a .776 career winning percentage and rates fourth with 1,127 victories. Across all divisions of NCAA baseball, he slots eighth in winning percentage and 38th in wins. During Vieira's tenure, New Haven baseball earned 35 regional postseason berths (26 NCAA, 9 NAIA) with 17 College World Series appearances (15 NCAA, 2 NAIA). UNH posted 81 NCAA postseason wins throughout his tenure - the second most in NCAA Division II history at the time of his retirement - and advanced to the NCAA College World Series in a school-record seven consecutive seasons from 1984 to 1990. The Chargers finished as NCAA National Runners-Up in 1980 and 1989, with the latter defeat coming to a Cal Poly San Luis Obispo team that later had its championship vacated due to the use of ineligible players. Vieira's achievements have not gone unrecognized by the media or his peers. Featured in several publications including Sports Illustrated, he received the "Gold Key" from the Connecticut Sports Writers Association and was named Coach of the Year numerous times for the NCAA Northeast Region as well as the New England Collegiate Conference (NECC) and the East Coast Conference (ECC). Coach Vieira is the first to admit that a great coach needs great players, and New Haven has certainly produced its share. Seventy-six student-athletes to play for Vieira later reached the professional ranks, including 10 Chargers to advance to Major League Baseball. Also of note, New Haven is one of only two (current) Division II institutions to produce a Major League Baseball Cy Young Award winner. Former Charger great Steve Bedrosian went on to earn the NL Cy Young while a member of the Philadelphia Phillies in 1987, saving 40 of the team's 80 wins that season (Clarion's Pete Vuckovich is the other Division II student-athlete to later win a Cy Young). Cameron Drew was the program's first-ever First Round Draft Pick with his selection in 1985, while Dave Wallace has been a respected professional coach since 1981 and won a World Series as pitching coach with the Boston Red Sox in 2004. Today, Vieira remains an active member of the New Haven Department of Athletics as Head Coach Emeritus, serving as a fundraiser and an ambassador of the baseball program and the University. #PaulPondersPodcast #PaulPonders #Indeed #CoachVieira #SportsLegend #BaseballHistory #HallOfFameCoach #WinningCulture #AthleticLegacy #DisciplineMatters #TrueGrit #AthleteMentorship #GenerationalImpact #LegendaryCoach #SportsPodcast #PassionForTheGame #UnbreakableRecords #BaseballTalk #AllAmericanDream #InspiringStories #AthleteSuccess #LegendaryMoments #TheNewRadio
