Episode 143: SnapShyft, Thor Wood Dec 04, 2019

Show notes

In 10 business days, Thor Wood went from a hangover to a business plan for his current Indy-based company SNAPSHYFT. Thor was born in Utah and moved to Indianapolis at the age of 2. After attending college for eight years without graduating, Thor spent time as a private investigator before starting a career in recruiting. After the recession, he found a position in Naples, Florida, where he met his significant other, had a baby, and started his first business. Thor was beginning to lose his passion, partly because he wanted to spend time with his daughter rather than work. Therefore, when he woke up hungover lying on the bathroom floor with an idea to start what is now SNAPSHYFT, he leaped at the opportunity. The tech community and lifestyle brought Thor and Stephanie back to Indianapolis. After extensive market research, including connecting with Scott Wise on Twitter for advice, SNAPSHYFT was created and has qualified for many start-up programs and accelerators over the last 3 years. Tune in to learn about how SNAPSHYFT is filling a significant need for quality staffing for the food & drink and hospitality industries, how accelerators work, and about Indy's supportive tech community. Drink deep of the culture that surrounds you with Thor Wood of SNAPSHYFT. Learn about SNAPSHYFT! Review the episode on iTunes, Twitter, and Facebook! Join our community on Patreon!

Episode 142: Indianapolis Zoo, Dr. Rob Shumaker Nov 27, 2019

Show notes

We get wild this week with the President of the Indianapolis Zoo and self-proclaimed Biophiliac, Dr. Rob Shumaker. Dr. Rob knew what he wanted to be when he grew up early in his childhood because he enjoyed visiting the Smithsonian National Zoo’s Great Ape exhibit. After graduating from college, his life came full circle when he began working at the Smithsonian National Zoo with the apes he used to watch as a kid. He attributes much of his success to the non-judgemental support of his family to follow his dreams. After 20 years at the National Zoo, Dr. Rob moved to Iowa to work at the Great Ape Trust and, ultimately, Indianapolis to be the President of the Indianapolis Zoo. Although he loves all of the Great Apes, Rob’s favorite is the Orangutan. He shares with us many entertaining facts about the species, some from the books he has written. Tune in to learn about the purpose of zoos, about the internationally respected Indianapolis Prize, and about how you can make a difference with conservation efforts. Drink deep of the culture that surrounds you with Dr. Rob Shumaker from the Indianapolis Zoo. Learn about Indianapolis Zoo! Review the episode on iTunes, Twitter, and Facebook!

Episode 141: TechPoint, Mike Langellier Nov 20, 2019

Show notes

TechPoint is developing our tech ecosystem through the leadership of Mike Langellier. Mike grew up on a farm in rural Illinois, learning the work ethic he still executes today. Depauw University expanded his view to new ideas, particularly how economics "can explain real life." While searching for a three-week internship, he found Angie's List. Although only there for a short time, he had the conviction to pitch a new business structure idea to Angie Hicks and Scott Brenton. This moment was career-changing because Angie and Scott liked his plan, so he recognized that he had the power to make a difference. The same conviction led him to the Orr Fellowship, to marry his wife, and to start his own business with two young children after the stock market crash. Within 18 months, he built and sold MyJibe to return to Indianapolis as the leader of TechPoint. Now, TechPoint has nearly 1,000 people that they've placed into internships and job opportunities, as well as many programs for companies and employees to boost their tech expertise and resources. Tune in to learn about how to make quick business decisions to grow your company, about the resources TechPoint has for our tech community to grow, and about the Red Carpet Experience that TechPoint created to attract talent to Indianapolis. Drink deep of the culture that surrounds you with Mike Langellier of TechPoint.

Show notes

Crank up the stereo as we interview drummer, hip-hop producer, and birthday boy Carrington “Clint Breeze" Clinton, leader of Clint Breeze and The Groove. The Indianapolis native grew up playing the drums with his dad and listening to gospel music. After graduating from Ball State, he returned to Indy and pursued a career in music. His first beats dropped under the name Care Bear, but he released his first "more serious" album under the Clint Breeze moniker in 2014. Many more albums followed, including the well recognized, local classic, "Nappy Head." Tune in to learn why he draws his inspiration from traditional hip-hop and Neo Soul, how he approaches collaborations, and to get a sneak peek into the meaning behind some of Fabian's favorite songs of his.

Episode 139: Indy Urban Hardwood, Brian Presnell Nov 06, 2019

Show notes

If you have eaten charcuterie at Bluebeard or watched a show at the Hi-Fi, you have encountered Brian Presnell's creative solution for the midwestern ash tree epidemic. Indy Urban Hardwood is turning the infected trees from inside the 465 Loop into furniture and art pieces featured in places like King Dough, Sun King Brewery, Ukiyo, The Garden Table, IMA, and more. Presnell grew up with teachers and mentors who recognized his artistic abilities and encouraged him to pursue them, which led him to the Herron School of Art and Design. After graduation, he worked for Design Industries creating displays for shopping mall stores. Anxious about getting a chisel back in his hand, Presnell moved to the IMA's Design Department. When the IMA cut down trees for a parking lot, he recognized that Indianapolis did not have an urban wood business. Now, Presnell's goal is to make urban wood one of the first choices for materials in Indianapolis. Tune in to learn about what happens to excess wood in Indianapolis, about Presenell's creative process, and what happens when a booger ends up on a Rothko painting. Drink deep of the culture that surrounds you this week with Brian Presnell from Indy Urban Hardwood. Learn about Indy Urban Hardwood! Review the episode on iTunes, Twitter, and Facebook!
