Welcome to Southie Sessions, an Alison South Marketing Group Podcast hosted by Emily Ann Lively (EA) and produced by Augusta Podcasts. In this show, “EA” interviews clients, creatives, and everyone in between to hear their stories.

In this show, our theme is “Ringing the Cow Bell” comes from an SNL skit called “More Cowbell,” in which a band’s producer encourages originality and creativity in the form of an empassioned Cow Bell tone. At Alison South, we “Ring the Bell” to celebrate achievements big and small, and that’s what this show is all about!

Today’s guest is Russell Lahodny. He’s a recent transplant to Augusta, Georgia, from California. Before living in Augusta, he was the Vice President of the California Chamber in Sacramento, Ca AND the Western Association of Chamber Executives. He is currently the NEWEST President and CEO of the Columbia County Chamber of Commerce.

His wife, Kimberly, and him both come from creative backgrounds. Kimberly loves production and Russell has always loved photography and the arts. After making the decision to go “corporate,” Russell has become an impressive professional with over 17 years experience in management and guidance. Listen for a fun, artsy, and insightful conversation and DON’T miss his Ring The Cowbell Moment!
