In this inspiring episode of Keeping it Real with Sharon, I sit down with Rachel Adams, co-owner of Amazing Flame Gas Fireplace Service. Rachel shares the remarkable journey she and her husband, Nick, took from working within the company to owning it outright.

Nick made the bold decision to leave a stable career in the medical field, taking a leap of faith for the opportunity to work at Amazing Flame—with the potential to purchase it. Together, they navigated the complexities of buying a turnkey business and have since grown it with heart, vision, and a strong sense of purpose.

Rachel opens up about the challenges of business ownership, from managing operations to leading a team—while also balancing life as parents to a young child. She emphasizes the deep value they place on building strong relationships both within the community and with their clients. For Rachel and Nick, customer care isn’t just good business—it’s personal. Their commitment to putting clients first is what fuels the warmth behind Amazing Flame.

Tune in for a candid conversation about taking risks, growing a business, and staying grounded in family and community.
