    The Passion Project That Took Him From Indiana to Patagonia | Steve Haigh, Destination Angler Podcast

    Gone fishing! On today's show I cast a fly with Steve Haigh, founder and host of the popular Destination Angler Podcast, a fly fishing podcast based in Carmel, Indiana that highlights top fishing destinations in North America. Haigh explains how the show began during COVID after his corporate sales work slowed, quickly surpassing his early download expectations, and grew into a global destination-focused platform with 170 episodes. He shares his early fishing roots in Toledo, Ohio, learning fly fishing at 14, and describes fly fishing as an active, technical sport involving insect hatches, casting mechanics, and presentation. Haigh recalls memorable experiences and podcast guests, including trips with listeners to Patagonia, meeting top competitors and legendary anglers, and stories involving Bobby Knight. He also recommends accessible Midwest and Indiana fly fishing options, and emphasizes guides and borrowing gear to start.

    Why Indiana Isn't a Flyover State Anymore | Danny Lopez, Indiana State Representative (R)

    On today's show I sat down with Danny Lopez, Indiana State Representative (House District 39) and President & CEO of Vincam Public Relations, about how sports drives economic development in Indiana. Lopez moved from Miami to Indiana in 2008 and was pulled into state leadership circles. He discusses talent retention through "boomeranging" graduates back to Indiana, the state's population growth versus neighboring states, and how user-funded venue deals can minimize general-fund taxpayer risk. Lopez details his transition from serving in Governor Holcomb's office to leading external affairs for Pacers Sports & Entertainment during COVID, Gainbridge Fieldhouse renovations, and planning NBA All-Star 2024. He also highlights Indiana Sports Corp, the impacts of major events, northwest Indiana's Bears stadium conversations, and broader growth catalysts like LEAP and Lilly.

They discuss public service, getting young Hoosiers engaged in government, why to enter politics despite negativity, focusing on listening, community, and working across the aisle, and issues young people care about including jobs, student loans, affordability, healthcare, safety, and especially housing costs and brain drain. Bayh explains the Secretary of State's duties and measures success by increasing voter participation, while Gramlich highlights state-level impacts like property taxes, utilities, clean water, and concerns about supermajority governance and public education funding. They then share civic-entry ideas like the Hoosier Hall Pass, volunteering, paging, and Girls Inc.

    The Car Dealer Who Caddied for Presidents and Built an IndyCar Team | Tom Kelley, Kelley Automotive Group

    On today's show I chatted about everything automotive with Tom Kelley, president of family-owned Kelley Automotive Group, founded in Fort Wayne in 1952 by his father, Jim, the day Tom was born. Tom joined the business in 1974 after earning a business degree at IU and playing college golf, using the sport to build relationships with figures like Bobby Knight and George H.W. Bush. He explains how dealership growth accelerated after GM relaxed multi-store restrictions, expanding into multiple brands and markets including Atlanta, Clearwater, and Oklahoma, and how GM's 2010 bankruptcy eliminated divisions like Saturn and Saab, forcing closures, layoffs, asset sales, and new partners to survive. Tom also recounts entering IndyCar through Tony George and George's grandfather Tony Hulman, running the Indy 500, and later selling Kelley Racing to form what became Ed Carpenter Racing. He highlights Fort Wayne's civic collaboration, philanthropy, youth career pathways, and why Indiana's people, opportunity, and sports history make it home.

    He Bought a Boat Dealership Doing $375K… Now It Does $23M | J Hurless, Reeder Trausch Marine

    On today's show I sat down with J Hurless, co-owner of Indiana boating dealership and service company Reeder Trausch Marine. Hurless shares how he dropped out of high school, built a sales and leadership career at Ray Skillman until age 28, then bought Reeder Trausch in 2018 with little marine experience. The dealership had been a steady family business selling eight boats a year ($375K in 2017), and Hurless faced immediate challenges including a drained lake, limited working capital, and no floor-plan credit. By cleaning up the business, launching a website, hustling on Craigslist/Facebook Marketplace, engaging the Rockville community, and securing manufacturer-backed lending, the company grew rapidly to $1.2M in 2018 and $23M by 2023, later acquiring Denny's Marina in 2024. Hurless also emphasizes building teams, training talent, embracing change, and resilience through setbacks.

    He Quit Comedy for 20 Years… Then Came Back at 48 | Chris Ryan, Comedian

    On today's show I shared some laughs with Westfield-based comedian Chris Ryan, who returned to stand-up after a 20-year break. Ryan got his start in IU's Full Frontal Comedy in the mid-'90s alongside Straight No Chaser, training in Chicago improv at ImprovOlympic, and moving to Los Angeles in 1998 with $2,000 from a near-fatal car accident. In LA he worked at Paramount while pursuing stand-up, auditioned for MadTV, and waited alongside Seth Meyers, who was offered SNL the same week. The setback helped prompt Ryan's exit, grad school in journalism at Illinois, and a move to Indianapolis. After 15+ years in healthcare marketing, therapy and a company sale pushed him to write and perform hour-long shows, including Thermometer and Nothing Means Anything, centered on parenting twins, adolescence, and midlife reinvention.

    How a Tech Entrepreneur Reshaped Indianapolis' Live Music Scene | Scott Kraege, Forty5, The Vogue, and Rock the Ruins

    On today's show I sat down with Indianapolis entrepreneur and entertainment operator Scott Kraege, who shares his 18-year "overnight success" journey and today is a managing partner at Ivy Ventures, Forty5 partner, and co-owner of The Vogue Theatre, a concert venue in Broad Ripple. Kraege's journey started with him selling cell phones out of his car in 1999 to founding the enterprise device-management software company MOBI (later Tangoe), growing it to 350 employees, and selling in 2018. He explains his approach to investing and mentorship, emphasizing that founders and people matter most and that startups often evolve far from their original idea. He describes post-exit life, joining The Heritage Group's venture program, and later buying The Vogue in 2019 with partners, then navigating COVID shutdowns, staffing losses, and creative pivots. He also details how Forty5 expanded into multiple venues and outdoor series like Rock the Ruins, plus launching Opendate software, and discusses sponsorships, public-private partnerships, and future concert infrastructure needs in Indianapolis.

    Can Bloomington Become the Midwest's Next Startup Hub? | John Fernandez, Amplify Bloomington

    On today's show I sat down with John Fernandez, CEO of Amplify Bloomington and former Bloomington mayor and Obama administration economic development leader. Fernandez explains how the former Showers Brothers Furniture Factory site became an innovation hub through public-private partnerships, infrastructure investment, and entrepreneur-driven community building, expanding from The Mill to The Forge and nearby private initiatives like The Kiln. We discuss why homegrown companies like Cook Group matter, the need for economic diversification, and Bloomington's challenges and strengths in talent retention and storytelling. He highlights founder support, peer groups, local "sleeper" companies, and the Flywheel Fund's early-stage investing. Amplify's goals include scaling 10 firms from $1M to $10M revenue by 2031 and retaining more IU graduates in Bloomington.
