Chase Adams and Casey Ryals | Restore 510

March 24, 2025 by Rose

From Recovery to Restoration: How Restore 510 is Rebuilding Lives with Purpose

What happens when bold leadership, unshakable faith, and the power of second chances come together in the heart of North Georgia? You get Restore 510, a nonprofit that’s not just helping men recover from addiction — but restoring them to a life of purpose, responsibility, and impact.

In this inspiring episode of North Georgia Business Radio, host Phil Bonelli sits down with Casey Ryals, Board Chairman of Restore 510, and newly appointed Executive Director Chase Adams. Together, they share the story behind Restore 510, a transformative initiative rooted in First Peter 5:10: “After you have suffered a little while, God will restore, confirm, strengthen and establish you.”

Restore 510 goes beyond traditional rehab or halfway houses. It’s a post-recovery program designed to give men not just a place to stay, but a roadmap to reclaim their lives. Through discipleship, life skills training, financial coaching, and mentorship, these men learn how to go from needing help — to being help.

The episode dives into the program’s origin story — born from a deep desire to create lasting change for men coming out of addiction. Casey candidly shares how their early efforts fell short without focused leadership, until the “God-appointed” moment when he called Chase Adams… and everything shifted. Within days, Chase said yes to the role that he calls his “dream job,” one that aligns perfectly with the vision he had written years earlier.

Chase brings years of ministry experience and a profound heart for walking with men through the messy, hard process of recovery. With powerful transparency, he discusses the deeper issues beneath addiction—often rooted in lack of love, trust, and community—and how Restore 510 seeks to address those through the love of Christ and real human connection.

But this episode isn’t just about one organization—it’s a call to action for the entire community. Whether you’re a business owner who can offer employment, a man in recovery who needs support, or someone who simply wants to serve, there’s a place for you at Restore 510.

“We’re not just starting something and asking God to bless it,” Chase says. “We’re joining in on what He’s already doing.”

Get ready to be moved, challenged, and inspired by this dynamic duo and the movement they’re building—one life at a time.

This episode covers Increasing Client Engagement Through Video

Brews With Bros Podcast is brought to you by Dmitriy Teplinskiy www.AlphaCIS.com a Managed IT

Services and Cybersecurity provider for business in Atlanta Area and Ty Keller www.ty-keller.com a
Mortgage Broker with Country Wide Mortgage specializing in none-conventional mortgages.
Our Guest Realtor Zach VanZile is with Ansley Real Estate www.ansleyre.com can be reached through
email zachvanzile@ansleyre.com

Key Takeaways from Real Estate Agent on Leveraging Technology and Building Community
We recently had the opportunity to interview Zach VanZile, a real estate agent with Ansley Real Estate in
North Georgia. Zach shared valuable insights on using technology to boost real estate sales while staying
connected to the local community. Here are some key takeaways:
 Use video to humanize your outreach while respecting clients’ limited time.
 Upgrade traditional prospecting by integrating new data services, automation, and video.
 Build your local brand and attract buyers by showcasing community happenings.
 Attend in-person events to nurture referral networks.
 Avoid overt selling.
 Blend grassroots relationship building with digital tools for maximum impact.

Video Sets Zach Apart. One of Zach’s most effective tactics is sending personalized video messages to clients and prospects. He simply uses his smartphone camera to give quick updates on the home search process, market conditions, upcoming events, and more.

These authentic, casual videos allow Zach to connect on a deeper level. He emphasizes that in the busy
Atlanta metro area, clients have endless demands on their time. A video gives them valuable
information while respecting their schedule. Viewers feel prioritized without Zach intruding.

The videos have helped Zach stand out from other agents relying solely on texts and emails. He shared
that clients light up when they get a personal, familiar face on their phone rather than a generic flyer or
mailer. While impromptu, Zach keeps videos concise at under 30 seconds. This increases engagement.

Once filmed, videos can be embedded in email campaigns and text messages through Zach’s brokerage
platform. He can track analytics to optimize his approach. For more scalability, videos are uploaded to
Zach’s growing YouTube channel. This expands his audience.

Prospecting Gets a High-Tech Upgrade

While Zach is a big proponent of video, he hasn’t abandoned old-school prospecting tactics like calling
expired listings. In fact, he’s enhanced these methods with modern tools.

Services like RedX provide expired listing phone numbers that Zach inputs into a power dialer system.
This allows efficient calling at scale. When he gets voicemail, Zach will leave a video introducing himself
instead of a generic spiel. This nets 2-3X the callbacks of agents who only leave messages.

For other prospecting like circle prospecting, Zach uses platforms like Vulcan7 that scrape property
records. He then tracks all outreach in his CRM for optimized follow up.

YouTube Showcases the North Georgia Lifestyle

According to Zach, spotlighting the North Georgia way of life provides value to the community while
positioning him as an area expert. He says the thriving Alpharetta hub offers endless events, new
developments, and activities for families. Highlighting these on YouTube helps attract interested buyers
nationwide.

Zach advises real estate agents to tap into resources provided by their brokerage. For example, his firm
Ansley supplies market stats and localized content he can quickly share on social media. This content will
fuel his YouTube growth. Consistency is key – Zach aims for 1-2 videos per week.

Networking Is Crucial to Referrals

While Zach is well-versed in real estate technology, he emphasized that agents still need to show up
locally and build trust. Attending community events helps nurture the relationships that drive referrals.

For example, Zach participates in our monthly networking group called Brews with Bros. In this informal
setting, he aims to exchange value rather than sell. Some of the things we promote in Brews With Bros
group is the laidback camaraderie facilitates meaningful connections.
In Zachs view, you never know what opportunities might unfold by simply being present and engaged.
He feels real estate agents can’t afford to solely work behind a screen in isolation. Combining
networking with technology is optimal.

Brian Patton – Real Estate Investor and Author

Brian Patton, CCIM, is a successful real estate investor and author. He has a degree in land planning, a former career in zoning and development, and is presently the CEO of a highly successful commercial real estate brokerage firm. He just finished a two year stint as the co-host of a real estate investment radio show.

Services

COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE can have very difficult obstacles to overcome. Building permits, sign regulations, stormwater issues, grading permits, parking variances, business licenses, architectural review, ingress/egress,…are just a few issues that may need to be addressed. Our team has the experience that gets it done despite the obstacles.  Mistakes are expensive…without proper guidance, some mistakes aren’t even obvious…mistakes of not maximizing square footage, or improving return on investment, or understanding market rents and values…you need someone in your corner. That’s Brian Patton Commercial.

INVESTMENTS: Did you know it takes just two weeks to obtain a real estate license in Georgia? Do you want to leave those important decisions to someone with 14 days of experience? We use our decades of experience to make every effort to maximize the return on your investment, no matter which investment that might be. Why combine real estate and business brokerage? Some business brokers understand little about the real estate side, and many real estate brokers understand practically nothing about the business side. We’ve found that most of our deals involve both. So, why not combine the two disciplines into one cohesive package to maximize your knowledge of the transaction. The more you know, the better decision you can make.

BUSINESS BROKERAGE  takes experience and know-how. Our dedicated team has years of experience valuing businesses and can walk you through the process effortlessly, using our proprietary software and multiple valuation methods.  Not quite ready to sell?  We’ve got that covered too.  We will sit down with you and help you walk along the path to getting the business where it needs to be to find the most qualified buyers.

Gunnery Sergeant John Hurlock – United States Marine Corps

Marines are trained to improvise, adapt and overcome any obstacle in whatever situation they are needed. They have the willingness to engage and the determination to defeat the enemy until victory is seized.

The kinds of battles active-duty Marines fight range from traditional warfare to humanitarian and disaster relief missions (HADR). The fighting spirit that helps them win these battles extends beyond the scope of their military service, and many Marines continue to serve in the communities where they live.

Before the title of Marine can be earned, the decision has to be made—to commit to a calling that puts service ahead of self, purpose above pleasure, and the determination to win against all obstacles and adversaries.

Becoming a Marine affects the entire family—and often even the entire community. It’s a decision that needs to be discussed by everyone involved. As you prepare your loved one for the milestones ahead, consider your own transformation—from that of loving mom, dad, teacher or mentor to the unbelievably proud resource they can always count on.

For information or any questions you can contact  john.hurlock@marines.usmc.mil
