Cream City Dreams Meagan Schultz

Happy MONDAY! Yes, this is coming out two days early. But I wanted to share this episode with as much time as possible since we are talking about an event that happens NEXT WEEK. (May 6-10, 2024).

This week’s guest, Stephanie Melnick and her team at She Stands Tall are BACK next week with Women's Entrepreneurship Week (WEW) and if you live in or around Milwaukee, you are NOT going to want to miss their offerings. 
So many of our previous guests are slotted to speak at the events next week that I wanted to take an extra week of Season 5 to plug this event and let you know what to expect. If you are a woman in Milwaukee, an entrepreneur, or someone who is considering stepping boldly into your DREAM ... this just might be the launch pad you need! Come meet other women around the city who are taking their place at the table - indeed, who are building their OWN table - and making sure there is a seat for everyone. 

Locals and Links we love!

Sharing the Digest this week with Harmonie Baker who challenges us to step away from the spotlight from time to time to let others shine. A short and sweet reflection from this week's full episode on being the cheerleader for someone else. Who could that some else be in your life? A digest worth pondering.

People often describe Milwaukee as a small city with big city amenities … and they are often talking about our theater and arts scene. And this includes the incredible opportunities children have in the theater as well. This week, I talk with Harmonie Baker, Executive Director of the Milwaukee Youth Theatre, about the important role that theater plays in the lives of the Milwaukee youth she serves. The Milwaukee Youth Theatre provides the opportunity for kids to imagine, build and create productions from start to finish in set design, costume and lighting as well as acting. More than a stage, it’s a place where everyone belongs, everyone is family, and everyone is encouraged to support each other as they learn the ins and outs of theater.

Why DO we need a place to store ancient relics and artifacts? What do museums tell us about ourselves, and why should we keep them around? Dr. Ellen Censky answers this question in two parts.

This week, meet the woman behind our beloved Milwaukee Public Museum, Dr. Ellen Censky (though as she is quick to point out, it takes an incredible team to run an institution that is home to more than four million objects). Listen as we talk about the trajectory that took the tall ‘tom girl’ from Cedarburg across the US as a museum scientist and director, herpetologist, published author, BioBlitz creator, and now Executive Director with MPM. 
Listen as we talk about … 
Who museums are for and why it’s important that they change with the times. And why we NEED them in our community. What’s coming and what she’s most excited about seeing in the new Milwaukee Public Museum that is slated to open in Spring of 2027.Who she would most like to meet if the creatures came alive at night in MPM’s own Night at the Museum.

New this week, a reflection from yours truly on the fears of going solo on this podcast. What gave me pause, what made me nervous, and ultimately, how I decided to go for it anyway. Two big saving graces that got me over the hurdle of feeling like I couldn't do it. They helped me, maybe they can help you too?
