In this special episode of Heart of the City, host Amy—owner of The Scout Guide Chattanooga—sits down with her own team, Associate Editor, Sallie Tipton and Co-Creative Director + Photographer, Casey Yoshida, to pull back the curtain on the making of Volume 13.
Together, they reflect on the season behind the guide, sharing behind-the-scenes stories from shoot days, creative pivots, and the thoughtful decisions that shape different features. The conversation offers an honest look at the work that happens long before the guide is in print—from managing an intense shoot season and navigating creative direction to building trust, working closely as a team, and balancing leadership with life.
This episode is an inside look at how The Scout Guide Chattanooga comes together—and a reflection on why celebrating local and small businesses with care and intention matters.
