  5. April McClure. A Swirl of Decisions and Give Willow.

    April McClure. A Swirl of Decisions and Give Willow.

    I don't know if I've ever interviewed someone as conscientious as April. Thank you notes, gifts, informative emails—she would have got the job if I was hiring.   Listen as this North Dakota born, South Korea and all over the US raised, military daughter talks about high school in Monticello, food and cooking, growing up too fast, being raised primarily by your father, losing your father, the onslaught of decision making that comes with a familial death, pivoting your career and teaming up with your sister and the introduction of the funeral registry. We tee up brides and moms-to-be with registries, why not help the bereaved in the same way? Are you looking for a first-person testimony of your business, product or service? Let HyperLocal(s) help.

  6. Stu Ellis. Helping Farmers Make More Money and Stay Out of Jail.

    24 DE MAR.

    Stu Ellis. Helping Farmers Make More Money and Stay Out of Jail.

    This sweet, charming guy described himself as "kind of blah." I beg to differ.  Listen as this Taylorville grown broadcaster talks about losing his father, his change of plans when the farm he thought he would inherit was no longer in his future, combining farming with broadcasting, the marketing of soybean ink, communicating with farmers, telling their stories, writing on all things farming, keeping up with technology and policies and the Farm Progress Show. This super sharp farming expert was a breeze to interview as a consummate professional. Are you looking for a first-person testimony of your business, product or service? Let HyperLocal(s) help.

    16 DE MAR.

    Whitney Pope. Estate Sales and the Resell Marketplace.

    Breaking into an industry where you are usually the youngest one in the room can be intimidating. This girl boss has fought any preconceived notions every step of the way, using knowledge and professionalism as proof of concept.  Listen as this townie talks about her return to Champaign, learning from the best, taking over her mom's ownership position at Champaign Estate Sales, looking and sounding youthful as a personal plus and a professional battle, hoarding, auctioneer licensing, grief in an estate sale, generational changes in the way we inherit items, the art of the haggle, giving items dignity and trends in resale.

  8. Jacob Dickey. The Weather Man and the Science Guy.

    10 DE MAR.

    Jacob Dickey. The Weather Man and the Science Guy.

    Listen as this Gibson City guy talks all things meteorology. Why this field? What fascinates men about inclement weather? What is the most intense weather situation he's ever been involved in? How does he navigate consumers who are upset by inaccurate weather reports, being a local celebrity, data gathering in order to best predict weather and the backlash when the data predicts the wrong outcome! Finally we touch on hair, makeup and wardrobe when TV reporting. I will always trust his predictions when preparing for our crazy CU weather! Thank you for being a trusted resource in our community.
