    Sun Prairie Rising Podcast - 4/22/26 - Action Jackson, Jackson's Yard Care

    The Lord works in mysterious ways, and sometimes God tellsyou to buy a wood chipper.  Drunk customers, training and education, and the beauty of a good night’s sleep - it’s all part of the “cycle of love” for Action Jackson of Jackson’s Yard Care.  We had a great conversation about his health struggles as kid, building a business, and giving back to the community through a workforce development program. Plus, some updates and reflections since launching SunPrairieRising.com.

    Episode 79 - Kevin Warych, Sun Prairie Chief of Police

    It's the end of an era...and the start of a new one! For the last episode of "What Are We Building?" I welcomed Police Chief Kevin Warych to the show. Chief Warych was an open book, willing to discuss staffing challenges, and the impact of the referendum, as well as issues around immigration enforcement and Flock cameras. I also gave an update on my newest venture, Sun Prairie Rising (and the Sun Prairie Rising podcast), along with updates on new condos, Sonic, and the Derby District.

    TWall, TIF, Traffic & Transparency...this is The Derby District in Terrence Wall's own words.  A massive development planned for 130+ acres on Sun Prairie's west side, the Derby District has the potential to dramatically reshape the area around Hwy C (Grand Ave) and Hwy 19.  Terrence Wall and Fernando Escobar describe the plans for the site and address some of the concerns that have been raised by local residents.     I also opened the show with some notes on construction projects around town.
