Dress For Success

Susan Bonds-McCulloch, Dress For Success Atlanta (North Fulton Business Radio, Episode 434)

Much more than a clothes closet, Dress For Success Atlanta works to meet the deeper needs of the women they serve. Executive Director Susan Bonds-McCulloch joined host John Ray to detail the various programs they have and offer some of their success stories. Susan discussed Dressed For Success’s professional training, encouragement, Career Center, the annual Gala that helps keep the work going, and much more. North Fulton Business Radio is broadcast from the North Fulton studio of Business RadioX® inside Renasant Bank in Alpharetta.

Dress For Success Atlanta

The mission of Dress for Success Atlanta is to empower women to achieve economic independence by providing a network of support, career development tools, and professional attire to help women thrive in work and in life.

DFSA is not just a clothing closet, but also boasts a Career Center that is staffed with volunteer companies within our community. These professionals work with Dress for Success-Atlanta’s clients reviewing resumes, conducting mock interviews, helping with LinkedIn and other social media. The goal was for the business community to connect with the clients that Dress for Success serves in a meaningful way. There has been an overwhelming response to this corporate volunteer opportunity and the clients that Dress for Success serves continue to say how unexpected it is to work directly with a volunteer who has taken time out of their workday to help them achieve their goals!

Some of the companies that now work with Dress for Success-Atlanta include Delta Airlines, UPS, Masco, State Farm, Capital One, and many others. Dress for Success and its clients are truly overwhelmed by the desire of others in our community to help them succeed.

DFSA hosts several networking and educational programs such as Career KickStart, Inspire Success, Tools for Success, and Professional Workshops that are invaluable to the women they serve and the Atlanta Community as a whole.

The long-term goals for DFSA include a mobile unit and another Dress for Success location. DFSA’s desire is to help stem the cycle of poverty and to have a generational impact!

Susan Bonds-McCulloch, President/Executive Director, Dress For Success Atlanta

Because of her passion to give back and help women, Susan Bonds-McCulloch joined Dress for Success-Atlanta (DFSA) as their Executive Director in October 2018. Prior to this Susan had a 20+ year career in the insurance industry as an Employee Benefit Broker working with companies to help them plan, design, and implement their benefit programs. Susan found that her passion was helping others when they needed it most…when they or a loved one needed care.

Since joining Dress for Success-Atlanta, Susan has implemented many changes with the goal to empower more women in our community. DFSA relocated and now boasts a bright welcoming location for the women they serve. DFSA held their very first Gala in November of 2019 and pivoted during 2020 to hold a virtual gala!! The 3rd annual event will be held on September 17th at the InterContinental Hotel in Buckhead. Without these signature events, DFSA could not continue to serve its community.

Susan loves to meet others who wish to be a part of and help with the mission of helping women in our community. This includes businesses that may wish to partner with DFSA along with individuals who may wish to work with DFSA on committees, through volunteerism, or by giving back monetarily.

In addition, Susan is a founding member of a women’s group the Women’s Introduction Group (WIG). WIG is a group designed by women for women to help them navigate their careers, network, and give back to our community. The goal is to always help another woman grow their career path.

Brimstone Tavern

Slade Scoles, Brimstone Restaurant & Tavern (North Fulton Business Radio, Episode 427)

Slade Scoles, Owner of Brimstone Restaurant & Tavern, joined host John Ray to share the “dancing, food, and fun” happening there. Brimstone hosts ShagAtlanta and offers a large dance floor. Brimstone’s chef trained at Le Cordon Bleu, and all the food is freshly-prepared, down to even the mayonnaise and salad dressings. Brimstone offers great entertainment options as well, such as poker tournaments. Slade discussed his decision to buy the restaurant, their expansion plans, plans to offer grass-fed beef from the Wyoming ranch he owns, and much more. North Fulton Business Radio is broadcast from the North Fulton studio of Business RadioX® inside Renasant Bank in Alpharetta.

Brimstone Restaurant & Tavern

Brimstone Tavern is a locally owned sports bar on the south end of North Point Mall.

They are located at the intersection of Mansell Road and Old Alabama Connector, in the same shopping complex as Fancy Pantry. The restaurant layout is unique, where their custom carved bar is physically separated from a family-style dining area which is ideal for families with kids.

On one side of the restaurant, they also have a large private room, where a lot of working professionals can not only convert into their office but also use it as a meeting and training room. With super-fast free WiFi, secured with the best firewall technology in the industry; it’s a no-brainer! This large event space is fully-equipped with a PA system, a projector, and smart TVs, which has become a recent attraction for a lot of corporate events, local Meet-Ups, as well as family events, such as wedding rehearsals, birthday parties, Bar Mitzvahs, and more!

Brimstone’s chef-inspired menu features comfort food with international flavors. For example, their gourmet burgers are more than your idea of a traditional cheeseburger because of their signature sauces and other top-secret ingredients! Their burgers also feature an optional gluten-free bun, fried pickles, gourmet salads, and other options.

Wyoming Brand Certificate for Slade’s cattle ranch

Later in 2022, Brimstone will start sourcing all its beef directly from Slade’s 650-acre cattle ranch in Wyoming.

The sports bar has an extremely large selection of whiskeys (single malts/blended) and bourbons. Starting with the most basic ones, all the way to the Balvinies, Macallan’s, Johnny Walker’s, Basil Hayden’s, Knob Creek, Angels Envy of the Bourbon World… The list goes on and on! They feature local craft beer on tap to support local breweries and give their customers a taste of what your neighborhood businesses can do.

They are not just about food and drink, they are about Entertainment! For this very reason, they bring nightly activities, such as Trivia, Poker, and Live Music for their customers. They also give back to the community by hosting regular fundraisers for local charities, such as St. Baldrick’s. Come experience this unique sports bar that’s rocking the Alpharetta restaurant scene.

They host Any 2 Cards, the poker tournament company. For more information, visit the Any 2 Cards website.
