MIND THE GAP with HatchAVL founder George Glackin 

Twice 5 Miles Radio welcomes entrepreneur, engineer, and small plane pilot Geroge Glackin to microphone. Hatch is a verb which means to bring forth or produce. No wonder when George launched his Asheville based non-profit foundation dedicated to uniquely supporting high-growth starts ups, he named it Hatch AVL Foundation (AVL is the airport code for Asheville).  In this lively interview, George digs into the basics of what it takes to get your business off the ground. I was most especially intrigued when George talked about his ideas around managing and minding the inevitable gaps which emerge out of any business endeavor.  George offered a simple solution, “use your mind and think it through,” he said.  George is one of the reasons the Asheville start-up community is thriving. We’re lucky to have him in town and on-air.

Mind the Gap with Geroge Glackin

Provocative Conversations from Twice 5 Miles Radio is a podcast devoted to candid, often surprising exchanges with artists, thinkers, and cultural instigators who speak from the core. Each episode dives beneath the surface to explore the stories and questions that shape our lives.

I’m James Navé—poet, storyteller, educator, and longtime creative collaborator. With an MFA from Vermont College of Fine Arts and decades of teaching experience across the globe, I help writers and performers tap into their authentic voices through public speaking, creative writing, and the Imaginative Storm method, which I co-developed with Allegra Huston.

My most recent book, 100 Days: A Poetic Memoir After Cancer (3: A Taos Press), documents a hundred days of healing and poetic reckoning. I’m also co-author of Write What You Don’t Know and How to Read for an Audience—practical guides for anyone seeking to speak and write with more truth and power.

I’ve directed festivals, hosted literary salons, taught with Julia Cameron, and memorized over 600 poems. I still believe in the power of a well-told story, the light through stained glass, and the open road with nothing but a podcast and a windshield full of stars.
