On this episode, we interview Michael Reynolds of InnovateMap. His firm's expertise has been in assisting businesses to develop digital products and experiences. The pandemic has forced a transition of virtually every business to go digital with every aspect of their business.

Lead Like an Ally: A Journey Through Corporate America with Proven Strategies to Facilitate Inclusion — This book explores the need for organizations to meet women where they are at, rather than encouraging women to be more like men, to build a culture that values gender equality, inclusion, and a genuine sense of belonging for everyone – leading together as allies.
One: How Male Allies Support Women for Gender Equality — Our title ONE is a symbol of this inclusion, men and women together, united on gender challenges, for both men and women. To be true allies, we did our research and found a set of proven strategies, ideas, and stories for men and women to partner together – heart, story, speak, and work-life. When men and women leaders employ these strategies together, they work in lock step, facilitating success. When we use a common approach and common language, we become ONE.
Pivot Point: How to Build a Winning Career Game Plan for Mid-Career Women — The purpose of Pivot Point is to empower mid-career, high-potential women through building winning career game plans.

In a series of interviews with mid-career, high-potential women, Julie Kratz discovered that women want more actionable tools to implement positive change. Thus, the idea was born.

How to Lead Like An Ally And Facilitate Inclusion in Your Workplace With Julie Kratz Jun 22, 2020

On this episode, we interview Julie Kratz. Julie is a speaker, author, and leadership consultant who assists leaders with driving business results with proven strategies to pivot to the next level with diversity and inclusion.

Despite the best of intentions, very few organizations are reaching their equality goals, even those deeply committed to diversity and inclusion. Our national protests and racial division, combined with the challenges with an economic crisis due to the pandemic, have added more challenges. Women and minorities are overwhelmingly impacted by our crisis.

Leaders must work harder to be an ally and pivot their businesses to drive diversity and inclusion. This isn't just a political an economic issue, it's proven to be a great business decision.

Many people are stating we need an honest conversation about diversity and inclusion... this conversation with Julie is just that.

JBJ Legal: Not Your Traditional Law Firm Jan 17, 2020

The traditional law firm model is a dinosaur. Clients dread the billable hour and have come to think of lawyers as a necessary evil rather than a trusted adviser and business partner.

There is a better way to provide cost-effective, responsive, and dynamic legal services to clients.

On this episode, we interview Hannah Kaufman Joseph and Kimberly Jeselskis, two of the founding attorneys at JBJ Legal. The business of practicing law is changing rapidly with the advent of automation, self-service legal options, and increasing competition in the marketplace.

JBJ Legal is small enough to maintain lower costs which benefits their clients yet sophisticated enough to provide exceptional service and representation.

WGU Indiana: Access To An Affordable, Fully Accredited Education for Busy Hoosiers Nov 07, 2019

On this episode, we interview Alison Barber Bell, Chancellor of WGU Indiana, and Jacob Brown, Graduate of WGU's Master's in Business Leadership and Vice President of Fifth Third Bank. We discuss WGU's unique non-profit, accredited online degree program... from WGU's new Indiana offices downtown.

WGU Indiana is an online, competency-based university established to expand access to higher education for Indiana residents. The university offers more than 60 undergraduate and graduate degree programs in the fields of business, K-12 teacher education, information technology, and health professions, including nursing.

Degrees are granted under the accreditation of WGU, which is accredited through the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities (NWCCU). Teachers College programs are accredited by the Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation (CAEP), College of Business programs are accredited by the Accreditation Council for Business Schools and Programs (ACBSP), and nursing programs are accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE). WGU Indiana has helped 7,500 Hoosiers achieve their dream of completing a college degree. Another 5,900 students are currently enrolled.

Facts about WGU Indiana:

In 2010, Western Governors University was approached by Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels about creating a state-based model for the university.
Indiana became the very first state model and the first state-endorsed online university, creating positions for a local chancellor and local advisory board.
WGU Indiana is a nonprofit, accredited, online university that serves students from all different backgrounds
WGU Indiana is currently serving about 5,600 Hoosiers – a 166 percent increase in enrollment since 2011.
WGU Indiana serves more than 520 active-duty military members, veterans or military family members.
WGU Indiana has awarded degrees to more than 7,500 Indiana residents.
WGU Indiana serves students who are not well-served by traditional colleges and universities; 72 percent are classified as underserved in one or more of four categories: ethnic minority, low income, rural residents, or first-generation college students.
As of 2018, 86 percent of WGU Indiana’s students work full-time jobs while pursuing a degree.
According to a recent Gallup-Purdue index, which provides insight into the relationship between the college experience and outcomes, WGU consistently scored higher than the national average when measuring school compatibility, mentorship, challenging curriculum, cost-worthiness and more.

WGU Indiana’s tuition fees are nearly half the national average. Tuition is about $6,500 per 12-month year for most programs, and it is charged at a flat rate, which means students can complete as many courses as they are able in any term, at no additional cost. On average, WGU graduates increase their pre-enrollment income by $12,600 within two years of graduation and by $18,400 within four years. With an average cost of $16,500 for a bachelor's degree, most WGU graduates see a positive return on their investment within two to three years.

Not to mention that the case’s textured grip, 10-foot drop protection and car mount feature boast 4-in-1 capabilities while keeping functionality, style and durability at the forefront.

In the competitive environment of consumer electronics, ScoocH has emerged as a leading competitor, expanding its presence across 6,000 retail environments across the United States and Canada. Since 2015, ScoocH’s revenue has grown from $250,000 to over $6M, doubling its revenue almost every year.

In alignment with its commitment, ScoocH also provides empowerment, protection and autonomy to Hoosiers in need by donating 10% of profits to locally-based Prevail, a crisis center dedicated to empowering those affected by domestic violence.

Episode 41: Steve Sanner: Growing People Through Work - The Hoosier Jiffy Lube Story You've Never Heard Dec 11, 2018

On this episode, we interview Steve Sanner, President of Hoosier Automotive Services. In 1985, Steve Sanner and his partners started what is now known as Jiffy Lube of Indiana. Since that time, the Indianapolis-based business has expanded to 48 Jiffy Lube locations (46 in Indiana, two in Illinois) with more than 400 employees, creating one of the largest systems of franchised service centers in the industry. In 2017 alone, the company performed nearly half a million oil changes.

While Jiffy Lube of Indiana is well-known for providing superior vehicle care, its commitment to employees is what Sanner says has led it to become one of the leading Jiffy Lube franchises in the U.S. Through the company’s “Growing People Through Work” program, lives of employees and their families have been transformed.

Recognized for several years by Training Magazine as one of the best training programs in the country, highlights of Growing People Through Work include:

$5,000 loans for managers who are first time home buyers to use as a down payment
Tuition reimbursement and college scholarships for employees’ children
Seminars with experts, designed to coach employees on financial literacy, health and wellness, and attitude/pride-in-work
A Jiffy Lube Cares Fund that has provided more than $220,000 in no-interest loans to employees for emergency situations

Lonnie Hinkle, COO of Jiffy Lube of Indiana, is a living example of how Growing People Through Work can change lives. He started at Jiffy Lube with a part-time job vacuuming cars, moving up through the ranks to become manager and eventually COO and company partner. He credits Jiffy Lube with paying off his student loans, helping him buy his first home – and even helping him lose 120 pounds!

Episode 33: Wilks & Wilson: Using Elixirs to Craft The Best Old-Fashioned, Manhattan, and Martinis Jul 12, 2018

Wilks & Wilsonʼs hand-crafted, organic infused and all natural elixirs, though also meant for use in non-alcoholic beverages, cooking and coffee, are intended for use in cocktails. Many of these cocktails were common to the late-1800s to the early 1900s– also known as the pre-Prohibition era. The exact origin of the term cocktail is disputed. However, what is known is that, since even before this time, people have been using various blends of spirits, sugar and other natural ingredients as a way to enjoy their favorite alcoholic beverages.

Every spirit has its own nuance. Every cocktail has its own history and ingredients that have been carefully selected to bring out and enhance those nuances. Elixirs play a large role in that process. Zach and Greg wanted to brand themselves in that era, going for the term “patent medicine.” Patent medicine was the term for secret, original remedies common to this period, which often carried crazy names and wild claims.

Today, we are witnessing a return to the appreciation of the finer, hand-crafted cocktails of yesteryear. Staying ahead of the trend, Wilks & Wilson has scoured the annals of bartending to find the recipes and stories behind the greatest cocktails in history. Zach said his style of bartending centers around the pre-Prohibition era, naming it as his sweet spot. Instead of focusing on more modern practices, he said he researches and mixes historical, cultured cocktails, then puts a modern twist on them to make them his.

Wilks and Wilson make the finest cocktail elixirs available today. Every cocktail has a story and, with Wilks & Wilson, the story of the hand-crafted cocktail will continue to be written with taste and distinction.

Charitable Allies also provides its clients:

Legal services - Most charities are unable to afford excellent, experienced nonprofit legal services. Charitable Allies provides these services at free and greatly reduced rates to charities and charitable programs.
Governance, education and training - Charitable Allies provides educational training, in partnership with myriad other charities, for Boards of Directors, officers and staff, related to governance, leadership, and charitable and philanthropic programming best practices.
Administrative support services - Many nonprofit leaders are great at charitable programming, working with their boards, and maybe even fundraising, but may lack essential administrative skills; this can mean that the nonprofit is not as successful as it could be if its leaders were free to play to their strengths. Other nonprofits are stuck in the starvation cycle and don’t spend enough on administrative and “back-office” support. Charitable Allies provides a back office extra set of hands so your nonprofit leaders can do what they do best.

Episode 15: How and Why To Create a Culture of Good In Your Business Nov 20, 2017

What began as a movement at TCC, with 3,000 employees and 800 wireless retail locations across the United States, to do good by including employees and customers has grown into its own company to teach others to build their own Culture of Good.

Four years and millions of donated items, volunteer hours and dollars later, TCC employees are bringing their souls to work every single day. They make an impact beyond the four walls of their stores. They do more than serve their customers. They want to serve the communities in which TCC conducts business.

Under Ryan’s guidance through TCC’s Culture of Good, which enables others to do good in their communities for the value of the investment rather than the return on investment, TCC donated $1 million to Riley Hospital for Children; provided 250,000 backpacks full of school supplies to children; gave away supply packs to 5,000 teachers; and contributed $100,000 in grants to organizations focused on improving the environment. Now Ryan wants to help other organizations engage the hearts of their employees and customers to be passionate about making the changes they wish to see in the world.

Ryan created Culture of Good, Inc. to inspire other businesses to create truly altruistic programs that make the world a better place. Tune in to today's interview with Ryan and found out how your business can impact your employees and their communities in remarkable ways.

Episode 5: What is Orr Fellowship? Sep 25, 2017

Orr Fellowship has already made an enormous impact in the region's fastest-growing organizations, but what do you know about it? Many of us have had the pleasure of working alongside a Fellow, but didn't understand what the mission was, how it started, what the impact has been, and how to get involved.

We were lucky enough to have Executive Director, Karyn Smitson, in our studio along with four current Orr Fellows. They describe what the program is like, how the program differs from any other, and why you should get involved - whether you're a company or a student.

Special Guest: Karyn Smitson.

Benjamin McCann is launching the home automation and security arm of Zinga's, a company that already had a winning streak in the window coverings industry.
