    Ending 50 Years of Population Decline | Dan Ridenour, Muncie Mayor

    On today's show I sat down with Muncie Mayor Dan Ridenour to talk about the city's history, current momentum, and quality-of-life strategy. Ridenour shares how Muncie's early economic development efforts attracted the Ball brothers in the late 1800s through access to natural gas, leading to major local institutions like Ball State University and Ball Memorial Hospital. He details his path from banking to mayor, emphasizing transparency through publishing city council documents online and focusing on housing and neighborhood-driven improvements. After decades of population decline tied to automotive job losses, Muncie has grown for three straight years, adding about 1,000 residents and 922 households, supported by new subdivisions, apartments, and partnerships with Ball State for non-student housing. Our conversation also highlights Muncie's trail systems, its endurance-sports legacy including a 45-year, 70.3-mile event and a 2021 full and half Ironman, plus weekend attractions like the David Owsley Museum, Minnetrista's Bob Ross connection, and plans tied to Close Encounters of the Third Kind.

    The Small Town Company Sending Satellites to Space | Matthew Voss, NearSpace Launch

    On today's show I sat down with Matthew Voss, president of NearSpace Launch, about growing an aerospace company started in a basement into a 20-person team that has built and delivered over 100 small satellites to orbit and flown more than 230 communications radios. Voss explains how NearSpace Launch leverages preexisting satellite constellations for more consistent satellite connectivity, supports customers with spacecraft manufacturing and on-orbit operations, and has transitioned from university and R&D work to constellation manufacturing for partners including NASA and the Space Force. He shares why the company stayed in rural Grant County, renovating historic downtown Upland buildings into clean-room facilities and scaling through contracts rather than investment. Our conversation also covers space traffic management, deorbiting, satellite collision risk, and emerging innovations like laser crosslinks and in-orbit refueling. Voss highlights NearSpace Education, a nonprofit launched in 2020 that runs space camps, high-altitude balloon launches, and Dream Big programs that help six universities build satellites and K–12 students engage with STEM statewide.

He also discusses Wabash's innovation history as the first electrically lit city and Mark Honeywell's roots, including the Honeywell Center's role in drawing visitors. He explains the countywide Imagine 1805 plan and projects like the Lagro river trail, the $7,000 "Lagro in Lights" sign, and the Wabash County Fellowship Program that housed interns in RVs on the Wabash River and later in renovated housing, with 40% of the first cohort continuing locally.

    Why This Indianapolis Neighborhood Is Changing Fast | Sharon Clark and Marvin Smith, Aspire Higher

    On today's show I sat down with Sharon Clark, founder of the Aspire Higher Foundation, and board member Marvin Smith about revitalizing Indianapolis' Near Northwest neighborhoods. After a 30-year collegiate volleyball coaching career at Butler, Clark transitioned into nonprofit leadership in 2023, building on years of grassroots community support. The effort centers on restoring an 1897 firehouse purchased at a Marion County tax sale in 2012 and reopened in February 2024 after a $1.6M renovation that now features community space, the RyZe Kitchen, and four apartments. Aspire Higher's pillars include community development, health and wellness, and technology-focused youth programming, including Girls in Tech trips and career exposure. They address a major food desert, transportation barriers, housing density, and plans for a small-format marketplace with financial services while preserving local history impacted by I-65 and redlining.

    She Helped Shape Art in Indianapolis | Joanna Taft, Harrison Center for the Arts

    On today's show I sat down with Joanna Taft, executive director of the Harrison Center for the Arts and founder of Herron High School. Taft describes turning a nearly vacant 65,000-square-foot historic church building into a thriving arts hub supporting 400+ artists and eight rotating galleries. She shares how early First Friday openings grew from 100 to 1,000 attendees by leveraging "mavens," then how artists leaving led to her launching Herron High School in 2006, beginning with 99 students in the Harrison Center basement – built out by mostly female rocket scientist volunteers – and later expanding to additional campuses, including Riverside. She discusses criticism around gentrification, learning about cultural gentrification, and creating "preenactments," Greatriarch portraits, and the Polklore Micro-Museum's artifact-based augmented-reality storytelling to preserve neighborhood histories while building inclusive, thriving communities.

Wortman traces his early interest in markets from Evansville, explains disillusionment with cold-calling brokerage sales, and describes learning comprehensive financial planning at Oxford before leaving, paying a non-compete, and being sued at age 27 as Valeo launched into the dot-com bust and the 2008 crisis.
