    Former LEGOLAND Execs were recruited for a $100M Midwest Resort | Sean "Mouse" Howard, SKYLAKE Adventures

    On today's show I jumped into the deep end with Sean "Mouse" Howard, co-founder of SKYLAKE Adventures, a new year-round destination opening in Sheridan near US-31 and Grand Park on June 4. The SKYLAKE concept was inspired by France Park in Logansport and refined through visits to Lake Arvesta Farms and Land of Natura in Wisconsin Dells, emphasizing fun with no lines. The project is funded by local investors with no bank debt, and four former LEGOLAND executives were recruited to lead operations. Wave one focuses on a six-acre human-made lake with white sand, Wibit inflatables, a 40-foot X Tower with slides, cabanas, and an adult-only "South Beach." Future plans include a tubing hill, ropes course, and mini golf. Howard also shares his upbringing in Princeton, track scholarship to Butler, and a 22-year medical device sales career that led him to entrepreneurship.

    How Indiana Farmers Feed the World | David Hardin, Hardin Farms

    On today's show I sat down with David Hardin of Danville, Indiana, a sixth-generation hog farmer whose family has farmed the Hendricks/Marion County line since 1827. Hardin explains the newly renovated barn at Hardin Farms and early piglet care (warm temps, sanitation, weaning at 3–4 weeks and ~12–15 pounds), daily health checks, and judicious antibiotic use. We discuss farming economics as "price takers," levers like efficiency and differentiation, and how pigs are fed mostly Indiana corn and soybeans through multiple ration changes to reach ~300 pounds in about five months before shipping to processors such as Tyson, Indiana Packers, and JBS Swift, with pork also exported to places like Japan and Mexico. Hardin describes a farmer's day, from listening to markets, watching the weather, animal care, repairs, and long field hours, plus regenerative practices like reduced tillage and cover crops, integrating hog manure as fertilizer, and continuing to learn through Purdue and farm media.

    His Professor Said Racing Wasn't a Real Career | Ed Carpenter, ECR

    On today's show I sat down with Indiana native, IndyCar driver, and team owner Ed Carpenter who talks about Indy 500 pressure, building an IndyCar team, and having Indiana pride. Carpenter raced USAC through high school and college, balancing racing while earning a marketing degree from Butler University, where he was even given a D by a professor for having an "unrealistic five-year plan." He debuted in IndyCar in 2003 and the Indy 500 in 2004, and helped build and later shut down his family's Vision Racing. He founded Ed Carpenter Racing in 2012 with partners including Stuart Reed, launching during a new chassis cycle, and sustaining 15 seasons through perseverance and funding swings. He discusses new ownership partner Ted Gelov and major partners like Java House and Splenda, recent changes aimed at winning, and why qualifying is the most stressful part of May. Carpenter also reflects on IndyCar's momentum with FOX, Doug Boles' leadership, and his best memories and favorite hidden gem of Indiana.

    He Was 30 Laps Away From Winning the Indy 500 | Conor Daly, Dreyer & Reinbold Racing

    On today's show I welcomed IndyCar driver Conor Daly to the studio to discuss the month of May, preparing for the Indy 500, his most recent Indy 500 finish, his current racing situation, and the business realities of IndyCar. Daly explains that despite having one of his best seasons that included beating his teammate and setting team points and finish records, he did not secure a full-time ride due to finances and late offseason changes. He also notes IndyCar's ratings growth driven largely by FOX's marketing and improved scheduling. Daly, who will start 8th in the 110th Running of the Indy 500, breaks down Indy 500 preparation, sponsor appearances and partnerships with ARCO/AMPM and Kingspan, plus how pit stops, strategy, clean air, and small mistakes decide the race, referencing last year's wheel-weight issue that derailed his run after leading for 13 laps. Daly also discusses the charter system expanding to 27 full-time cars next year, a new car coming in 2028, his Pardon My Take appearance, and why Indiana is home, sharing his favorite Indy 500 traditions and local restaurant recommendations.

    He Had to Win or His Racing Career Was Over | Pato O'Ward, Arrow McLaren

    On today's show I jumped into the fast lane with IndyCar driver Pato O'Ward of Arrow McLaren, who explains dropping out of school to pursue racing, opens up on falling just short of his dream of winning the Indy 500, and why he now calls Indiana home. O'Ward grew up in Monterrey, moved to San Antonio at age 11 due to security concerns, attended a military-institute school, and traveled early for karting, with his dad attending every race. He describes running his brand and merch as a family operation, dropping out at 15 to chase a racing career with no plan B, and learning from setbacks. After winning the 2018 Indy Lights title, he faced lost rides, a failed Indy 500 qualification, a Red Bull/F1 path derailed by super license issues, and a stint in Japan before joining Arrow McLaren. O'Ward reflects on the emotional highs and heartbreak of nearly winning the Indy 500 in 2022, emphasizing timing, competition, and Indiana's May traditions.

    How a Burger Chain Survived 60 Years in the Restaurant Business | Perry and Blake Fogelsong, Clancy's Hospitality

    On today's show I sat down with Perry and Blake Fogelsong of Clancy's Hospitality, a multi-generation, family-owned restaurant group operating seven restaurants across Indiana and Ohio. The company's start came in 1965 with Indiana Restaurant Hall of Fame member Carl Fogelsong's Clancy's Hamburgers double drive-thru burger concept that expanded to over 30 locations across four states, then declined as national chains entered their small-town markets and the late-'70s oil crisis hit. After Perry graduated college in 1981, he proposed shifting into "casual theme restaurants," creating Grindstone Charley's, which grew to 13 locations before facing similar competitive pressure. Our conversation covers how they rebranded toward chef-driven, experience-forward concepts like Grindstone Public House, Grindstone on the Monon, Clancy's at The Garage, and the People Magazine/OpenTable–recognized Fountain Room, plus their upcoming Noblesville hi-fi cocktail lounge, The Pretender, opening in July, and the realities of thin restaurant margins, real estate, and staffing.
