MTN 5 Chandler Ocotillo | Bottle & Bean | “Chandler Mayor Hartke’s plan for the future

This week's episode was recorded in front of a live studio audience at the Bottle and Bean in Ocotillo! On this episode, we sit down with brothers Jovanni and Danny, the East Valley Dream Center creators, to talk about their foundation, which started with sandwiches and chips and grew to a staff of 40 plus. This group is dedicated to helping the homeless and houseless community, among other things, and these two have big dreams of what it could do. Check out our interview with them to see how you can get involved. Then we caught up with Spike Lawrence, partner of coffee and wine shop Bottle and Bean. If you don’t know him by name, you know him by his projects. Living Room, CHoP Chandler, The Waters at Ocotillo, and their latest endeavor, New Square Chandler. We discussed his vision for Octitillo and what brings him the most pleasure with these concepts. Finally, we caught up with the Mayor of Chandler, Kevin Hartke. Mayor Hartke has been married for 42 years and lived in Chandler since 1985. He served as Lead Pastor at Trinity Christian Fellowship in Chandler, where he worked from 1985-2018. Mayor Kevin Hartke began his second term in January 2023, and in our chat with him, we talked about his city winning the Battle of Burbs, his secret to a long marriage, and, of course, his vision for the future. He’s a sweet man with a pure heart, and we hope you enjoy our chat. 00:00 Intro 00:59 Jovanni and Danny - East Valley Dream Center 24:04 Spike Lawrence - Bottle and Bean 43:00 Mayor Kevin Hartke - Mayor of Chandler Follow along on our other Platforms!
