Alex Talks to Dayton Mayor Nan Whaley

Normally, being the mayor of Dayton, Ohio, means paying attention to everyday issues, from garbage pickups to municipal budgets. But in the early morning hours of August 4, 2019, a gunman opened fire at a downtown bar in the city, and Nan Whaley’s role as mayor immediately shifted. She found herself thrust into the national spotlight as all eyes turned to Dayton. And it wasn't long before she was face-to-face with President Donald Trump. Learn more about your ad choices.

Alex Talks to Cycling Whistleblower Jonathan Vaughters

Jonathan Vaughters was a member of the famed USPS pro cycling team when his teammate Lance Armstrong won the first of a record-breaking seven straight Tours de France. While fans were awed and inspired by the victories, Jonathan knew there was something else fueling those wins: performance enhancing drugs — something the entire team was using, including himself. The deception weighed heavy on his conscience, and Jonathan found himself at a crossroads: live with the lie or come clean and become a traitor to his friends, colleagues, and the most powerful man in cycling, Lance Armstrong.

Alex Talks to Country Songwriter Shane McAnally

Ever since he was young, Shane McAnally knew he wanted to be a country music star. But as a gay man, he didn’t fit the Nashville mold, and so he hid his true identity for years as he struggled to break through. Little did he know that coming out would prove the key to his success. We created a playlist of Shane McAnally hits, from artists like Kenny Chesney and Kacey Musgraves.

Alex Talks to Billion-Dollar Business CEO Janice Bryant Howroyd

It earns over a billion dollars in revenue, making Janice the first African-American woman to start and run a billion dollar business. But her journey to CEO wasn’t an easy one.

A must!
Producers put their politics too much into the stories

SpeakLife123

Listening to the Dove Charbey series really makes you see this. It has nothing to do with a start up but everything to do with public shaming someone for three episodes. This happens in other episodes where the producers seem to go out of their way and off topic to prove some point.
Most Amazing Potcast about a StartUp!
