The show is hosted by Tim Markland- team leader and Realtor with the The Markland Advantage Team of Cummings and Co Realtors.
In this high-energy and incredibly entertaining episode of The TMA Connection, Tim sits down with Natalie Johnson, the charismatic Chief Operating Officer of Inner County Outreach (ICO). Celebrating a massive 40-year legacy of deep community service across Harford, Cecil, and Baltimore counties, Natalie shares the foundational story of how her father, Dr. Nathaniel Johnson, launched the faith-based organization in 1986 to remove traditional barriers to care and nurture the entire family unit.
Natalie details how ICO manages 13 comprehensive programs across three key divisions: Mental Health and Wellness, Youth and Family Services, and Comprehensive Basic Needs (including their brand-new strategic merger with Fresh Start Furnishings) providing a lasting framework for families navigating crisis.
Stick around for the final 10 minutes as Tim flips the script completely into a live, matchmaking segment for Natalie—niching down the search for a godly, highly educated, whiskey drinking partner willing to survive an extensive screening process by her family!
