What an absolutely surreal and humbling experience! ✨

Last Thursday, it was an immense honor to gather at the stunning Delta Flight Museum and be officially recognized alongside the incredible leaders of the 2026 Georgia TITAN 100 class.

To be included among such visionary CEOs and C-level executives who are working every day to drive innovation, inspire change, and strengthen our communities across Georgia is a milestone I will forever cherish. It was an unforgettable evening of connection, from celebrating the amazing Hall of Fame honorees to witnessing the unveiling of the 2026 Georgia TITAN 100 Digital!

Thank you to the Titan 100 organization for this tremendous recognition, and a massive thank you to my amazing team, colleagues, and everyone who has supported me along the way. I am overflowing with gratitude for this journey and so energized to continue making a positive impact together! 🥂🚀

Our May issue is officially out, and it's all about YOUNG INNOVATORS MAKING AN IMPRESSION!

For some, a knack for entrepreneurship reveals itself early. Business lore goes that Sir Richard Branson, now the brains behind Virgin Atlantic and Virgin Hotels, started a magazine at 16; Berkshire Hathaway CEO Warren Buffet sold packs of gum as a child; and now-famous fragrance and candle innovator Jo Malone started making her own scents from her family’s garden at 9 years old. Closer to home, we’ve found kids and teens who are dreaming big and creating companies with hard work and innovative ideas. Read on to learn about a philanthropic jewelry designer, hardworking lemonade purveyors, a creative DJ, an industrious cookie cake maker and more. Who knows? We might have the next generation of big idea makers right in our backyard.

The wait is over! Grab your copy at one of over 400 locations or click the link in our bio to dive into the digital edition now.

Photographer: Erik Meadows
Producer: Jennifer Bradley Franklin
Model: Elise Park
Makeup: Nyssa Green
Wardrobe: OshKosh Striped Smocked Romper, Blue ($38), available at carters.com.

Special thanks to Alice Park Photography for hosting our team.

THE SWEET LIFE

HYATT BRANDENBURG DELIVERS COOKIES AND CONFIDENCE.

Like most innovators, Hyatt Brandenburg takes business seriously. Unlike most entrepreneurs, though, the 14-year-old has to balance it with schoolwork.

Buckhead-based Brandenburg is a serial entrepreneur. He previously founded a driveway convenience store called Hyatt’s Express. He also launched Buckhead Balloons, a delivery service born from his observation that Party City’s closure would leave Buckhead residents without a place to buy party balloons.

His latest company is Chastain Cookie Bros, a purveyor of cookie cakes. The company started in 2022 after Brandenburg and his brother, 10 and 6 years old at the time, discussed potential business ideas out of boredom. They launched that year. Brandenburg switched schools in 2024 and paused his company to focus on his education; he ramped it back up again in summer 2025 as a solo venture.

Chastain Cookie Bros offers made-to-order 9-inch cookie cakes that customers can personalize with decorations and colored frostings. A half-and-half cookie is made from half chocolate chip batter and half M&M batter. “Depending on your crowd and taste preferences, there’s something for everyone,” Brandenburg says. He also offers balloons as an add-on, a nod to his previous business.

Brandenburg, who attends The Westminster Schools, made it his business to know the ins and outs of cookie-making and went into it with an entrepreneur’s lens. “The margins are pretty good, and it’s more unique than a typical cookie you’d find anywhere. We bring a little more attention to our product than a grocery store,” he says.

The middle schooler has his business flow down. On specific days, he makes batter for the week and freezes it. When an order comes in, he defrosts the dough, bakes it and decorates it according to his customer’s directions...

Golf Tees Off in Dunwoody

The Bunkr Golf Company, a new indoor golf facility in Dunwoody, is now open. The 3,300-square-foot space features five simulator bays with three semi-private bays for everyday play and two private bays that can be rented separately or combined through connecting interior doors for events and larger groups. Co-owned by Ashton Phillips and his mother, Jonl Steinke, the business was born from Phillips’ desire to continue golfing after becoming a father, when traditional all-day rounds became impractical. “Our vision is to create modern golf spaces that inspire improvement, build connection and make the game more enjoyable and accessible for today’s busy golfer,” says Phillips. The facility welcomes golfers of all skill levels, from serious players focused on improvement to families new to the game.

INSIDE OUT

’Tis the season to bring the indoors outside.

While patio living and al fresco dining are nothing new to Atlantans, it might be time to upgrade your space with soft goods that will make outdoor living more enjoyable. These items can help add interest to your experience.

Eastport Striped Umbrella [$1,498]

Sun protection is made chic with this Serena & Lily umbrella. Crafted from Sunbrella performance fabric designed to be weather-, mildew- and fade-resistant, it’s a practical way to get plenty of shade over a seating area or table. The whimsical scalloped edges bring a hint of preppiness, while the aluminum frame keeps things stable.

MIXING IT UP

Baker and entrepreneur Deirdra Lambright rises to new goals.

Deirdra Lambright and her mother always loved being together in the kitchen, but one day Lambright realized baking appealed to her more than cooking. It requires precision, and she was up to the challenge. She once attempted a cake five times to get it right. Soon, baked goods became her calling card; she brought treats to middle and high schools in her home state of Wisconsin and volunteered to bake for events.

In 2022, Lambright moved to Atlanta—first to Midtown and eventually Sandy Springs—and her hard work and creativity paid off. She was contacted to appear on Fox’s reality competition series, “Next Level Baker,” in December 2025. Though she didn’t win, she stood out as a self-taught baker and, at 25, one of the youngest contestants. Now, Lambright continues to challenge herself as both a baker and entrepreneur.

She spoke to Simply Buckhead about her plans, TV debut and favorite dessert.

How does selling food content work?

Bloggers and influencers post pictures and videos of food, but many don’t create it all themselves. The recipe testing, photography composition and sometimes even social media videography is outsourced to behind-the-scenes content creators like me to save them time and help fill their blogs with recipes that are seamless in style and aesthetic. Sometimes I am creating up to six recipes a week, getting inspiration from sites like Pinterest, putting spins on classic cookies or creating themed recipes to have an endless supply of ideas...
