The Raising a Ruckus Podcast is the podcast all about rule-breakers, change-makers, and risk-takers — and the leaps of faith, sleepless nights, and big decisions along their journey. Welcome to the show!
The creative path – like that of the entrepreneur – is a big leap of faith. Hell, it’s actually a bunch of them. It’s like playing drunken hopscotch in the dark on a carpet covered in Lego bricks. You learn a ton about yourself and your partners and friends in the process.
Torrie Savage and Paula Bartlett learned plenty about each other, and what they really wanted to do (and not do) in the formative years of The Savage Way. These ladies are so baller they took a completely successful marketing biz and totally blew it up! Of their own volition, of course. Then, they totally reinvented their brand, banking solely on clean graffiti and moss art to make their mark on the ad and marketing scene.
Like LL said, don’t call it a comeback. They’ve been here for years.
On this episode of the Raising a Ruckus podcast, Torrie and Paula talk about taking big chances, doing cool shit, and what it was like when the Rolling Stones called. Cheers!

We met Priya Sircar IRL at a OneBand gig earlier this year, and knew we’d need to get her on the show. She’s a singer, dancer, choreographer, independent filmmaker, actor, mom, and probably a secret agent, and some other cool $#i+ you can’t put on LinkedIn.
She’s also the City of Charlotte’s first-ever Arts and Culture Officer. In just two years on the job, she’s helped put millions of dollars in grants directly into local creatives’ hands. It’s no Austin or Santa Fe, but you gotta start somewhere, right?
On this episode of the Raising a Ruckus podcast, Priya Sircar talks about what it’ll take to get Charlotte to reach its creative potential, what she learned from her own unfunded film project, and if all those liquids were necessary to record this podcast. Cheers!

Quick question: did you like school? Traditional “school” ain’t for everyone, that’s for sure. And, the straight jacket most teachers are fit with gets more constrictive every year. Thank your state lawmakers, standardized tests, etc., for all that…
Natalie Parmenter said, “F all this classroom mess,” but still couldn’t kick her habit. She’s a born teacher – and there clearly IS such a thing – but the system can’t handle a red-headed rebel like this.
On this episode of the Raising a Ruckus podcast, she spills the tea or whatever on WTF is wrong with the classroom setup, why and how she’s STILL teaching, and how parents and teachers turned her into a YouTube superstar. (With no feet pictures involved.)
