On the Season Seven kickoff of the Stories to Create Podcast, Cornell Bunting sits down with Bryan Blackwell, a longtime Southwest Florida resident who has proudly called Lee County home for over 35 years.

Bryan spent more than two decades building and successfully selling a Financial Services practice in Fort Myers, Florida. Community involvement played a major role in that success, as Bryan consistently invested his time, treasure, and talent into local organizations, partnerships, and civic leadership—including running for the Florida State House of Representatives in 2020.

A veteran of the United States Marine Corps and the Florida Army National Guard, Bryan has earned multiple honors for his service, including the Navy Commendation Medal.

Now embracing his entrepreneurial spirit in a new chapter, Bryan joins the show to share how he’s applying a lifetime of experience in business, management, capital, financial strategy, and marketing to the cattle industry. Partnering with family members who bring generations of expertise in beef production, Bryan is helping make healthy, American, pasture-raised beef accessible directly to people’s doorsteps.

In this episode, Bryan opens up about the lessons learned along the way, the importance of being intentional with time, and how purpose continues to guide his journey forward.

On the latest Stories to Create podcast, Cornell Bunting sits down with Stacy Lee-Williams, CEO of King Leo Productions, for a powerful and inspiring conversation. Together, they reflect on pivotal moments from her journey as she shares what truly makes her—and her company—exceptional.

Stacy opens up about launching King Leo Productions over ten years ago, never imagining it would grow into the dynamic, full-scale production company it is today—one fueled by creativity, resilience, and community. A Caribbean immigrant who was born in Guyana, raised in a rich cultural environment, and later moved from New York to Southwest Florida, Stacy speaks candidly about longing for connection to her culture, music, and people.

Rather than conforming to industry norms, she chose to challenge them. Stacy produced events many competitors considered unrealistic for the local demographic—flying in international artists while creating platforms for local creatives to shine. That fearless vision and the ability to turn bold ideas into reality, no matter the size, became the hallmark of King Leo Productions.

Her commitment goes far beyond production—it’s about purpose. Stacy emphasizes the importance of serving both community and clients with intention, excellence, and heart. While tools and resources are important, she believes it’s the team’s ability to craft seamless, unforgettable experiences that truly sets King Leo Productions apart.

She also expresses deep pride in her team, acknowledging their passion, dedication, and relentless pursuit of excellence. Every event, she says, reflects not only technical expertise but a shared commitment to delivering something extraordinary.

As King Leo Productions continues to evolve, Stacy looks ahead with excitement—focused on pushing creative boundaries, innovating boldly, and setting new standards in the event planning and production industry.

Tune in to hear Stacy share her full story—from her roots in Guyana to growing up immersed in Caribbean culture, her move to New York, and ultimately building a brand that continues to elevate voices, culture, and community.
