The Midwest Real Estate Company That Grew from 50 to 400+ Agents | Tracy Hutton and Annie Hamilton, CENTURY 21 Scheetz
On today's show I sat down with Tracy Hutton, CEO/owner of CENTURY 21 Scheetz and owner of Milestone Home Lending and Dominion Title, and Annie Hamilton, COO of CENTURY 21 Scheetz, about building one of Indiana's most respected real estate organizations, which ranks as the #3 CENTURY 21 franchise in closed units. Both began in real estate answering phones in high school, with Tracy later joining founder Mick Scheetz at 26 to drive corporate relocation business and expansion while learning "Mickisms" about hustle, integrity, and not chasing empty numbers. Tracy eventually hired Annie into relocation, where Annie told Tracy she wanted her job, leading to a long partnership shaped by EOS/Traction's visionary–integrator model. They discuss the franchise's growth through acquisitions, including during the 2008 crisis, the importance of training, listing strategy, accountability, leadership, and differentiating via support services like transaction management and a NeighborServe partnership for inspections and home services.

Indiana's Flood Recovery + The 92-Year-Old World Record Gravedigger | Lindsey Erdody, Free Press Indiana News
On today's show I sat down for another edition of Hoosier Headlines with Lindsey Erdody of Free Press Indiana News, who provides an update on flood aid, Indiana's longest gravedigger, rural accountability, Trump accounts, and ArcFest. Our conversation begins with flood recovery, with Erdody noting that as of Sept. 11 FEMA had allocated $64.3 million to more than 15,000 applicants, with thousands still waiting, alongside 40,000 applications for up to $5,000 in state aid. She discusses documentation needs and impacts like prolonged power outages, mold, and food loss. We then shift to a highlight of Allen McCloskey of Galveston, Indiana, a 92-year-old Guinness World Record holder for the longest gravedigging career (73 years, 75 days), and broader issues of maintaining Indiana's 20,000+ cemeteries, many of which are abandoned. The episode continues with coverage about a Grant County commissioner facing an internal investigation, a Benton County CAFO dispute, and an explanation of "Trump accounts," including Brad Gerstner's $250 pledge for Indiana children under 5. Erdody closes with a preview of ArcFest on Oct. 3 at IU Indianapolis, and mentions Zimmer Biomet donating its current global headquarters building in Warsaw to Grace College, which will transform the building into an Orthopedic Innovation Research Center to advance STEM education and orthopedic workforce development.

23 Years in the Marines, 8 Years as Indianapolis Mayor & One More Race | Greg Ballard, Lincoln Party Candidate for Indiana Secretary of State
On today's show I sat down with former Indianapolis Mayor Greg Ballard, who grew up on the city's northeast side, attended Cathedral, joined the U.S. Marine Corps after finishing at IU, and is now running as an independent Lincoln Party candidate for Indiana Secretary of State. Ballard served 23 years on active duty with deployments including Panama and the 1991 Persian Gulf War before he returned home in 2001 and was recruited to run for mayor despite little name recognition. He defeated incumbent Bart Peterson amid voter anger over property taxes and a major income-tax increase. Ballard describes his transition into office, key achievements including securing and hosting the 2012 Super Bowl, and leading efforts behind DigIndy by pushing the EPA mandate cost down and transferring water/wastewater to Citizens Energy to remove politics. In his run for Secretary of State, he collected over 74,000 petition signatures, formed around expanding ballot access and voter information.

31 Days to Win a Statewide Nomination | Max Engling, Indiana Secretary of State Nominee (R)
On today's show I sat down with Max Engling, the Republican nominee for Indiana Secretary of State, who rose from a behind-the-scenes Senate staffer to statewide nominee in 31 days, winning the GOP convention in Fort Wayne with 53% on the second ballot. Engling shares moving from Illinois to Cicero, attending Ivy Tech and IUPUI while working long hours, and how debate helped shape his communication skills. He describes flying to Washington at 24 to hand out resumes, landing a role on the U.S. House Committee on House Administration, and later serving as director of member services for Speaker Kevin McCarthy. After returning to Indiana to raise his family, he ran in the 5th Congressional District, worked for Beck's Hybrids, and served as a senior advisor and agriculture liaison for Senator Jim Banks. Engling closes by outlining his priorities: election integrity, a public transparency portal, and addressing fraudulent "chameleon carrier" trucking LLCs.

He now reaches over 250,000 followers across platforms, balancing crime and court updates with his statewide quest to rate breaded pork tenderloin sandwiches, a series sparked by a Marengo Tavern recommendation.

Cecil explains how HamCo Live began as a centralized calendar and grew through grassroots promotion, then expanded into the Homegrown Music Concert Series to showcase original local artists by removing financial risk for bars. Cecil previews TradeUp Fest on Saturday, Sept. 19 at the Riverview Health Arena at Innovation Mile: a free outdoor festival from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. with two stages, eight bands, and a "Trades Village" featuring hands-on trade experiences, followed by an indoor ticketed concert headlined by Larry Fleet with openers Norah Reese and The Wilder Blue.

They Bought a Roofing Company Without Knowing If They Owned a Ladder | Eric Howland & Dustin Denton, Seamless Roofing
On today's show I sat down with lifelong friends Eric Howland and Dustin Denton about building Seamless Roofing, an Indianapolis-based commercial roofing company focused on relationships, operational excellence, and culture. They remember accelerating their entrepreneurship timeline after Dustin was fired, choosing to acquire a roofing business despite limited industry knowledge, and learning through early missteps like a chaotic Vegas trade show and even not knowing if they owned a ladder. They describe closing their first project by staking their reputation on referrals, navigating major leadership conflicts and near-failure moments that forced hard decisions, and why blue-collar work is rewarding because it's tangible and rooted in trust. They also explain how an IMS suite became a powerful relationship-building tool, discuss talent and culture practices like kindergarten rules and no PTO policy, and share why Indiana relationships keep them grounded.

We discuss SBN surpassing 1.1 million passengers in 2025 (best since 1997), how air service development works (retaining routes, adding new ones, addressing "leakage" to Chicago), and the airport's current nonstop network of 16 destinations on five airlines (American, Delta, United, Allegiant, and Breeze).

Sherman shares his path from Broad Ripple High School and Ball State into TV, starting as a videotape editor at WISH-TV, then leaving for Los Angeles to pursue acting before returning to journalism through small-market jobs, a breakthrough lifestyle role in Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, and finally coming back to Indianapolis in 2009 as his mother battled pancreatic cancer. He explains how "Where is Sherman?" was branded in a Panera meeting, why he focuses on stories rather than food criticism, and how the segment's visibility has helped over 2,000 businesses while energizing him personally.

On today's show I sat down for another edition of Hoosier Headlines with Lindsey Erdody of Free Press Indiana News, covering severe storms that caused historic power outages in northwest Indiana, a 100-year flood impacting central and east central Indiana, displacement of Hoosiers, infrastructure damage, and reminders that homeowners insurance typically excludes flood damage with only about 1% of Hoosiers carrying flood insurance. We discuss safety tips for returning home, community relief efforts, and how Indiana's suspended gas tax through September 6 affects delayed reimbursements for local road funding, plus Indianapolis' wheel tax increase to secure state matching road dollars. Our conversation also covers rural homelessness amid a new July 1 law criminalizing sleeping on public property, rural sidewalk funding challenges, and Speedway's Indy 500 wastewater violations.

Why 1 in 7 Hoosiers Are Food Insecure | Fred Glass, Gleaners Food Bank of Indiana
On today's show I sat down with Fred Glass, president and CEO of Gleaners Food Bank of Indiana and former Indiana University athletic director and government leader, about how growing up in his father's Indianapolis tavern shaped his empathy and perspective. Glass looks back on the turning points of his career, including DC internships with Birch Bayh, law and clerkship decisions, serving in Governor Evan Bayh's office, leading the Capital Improvement Board through efforts that helped secure Lucas Oil Stadium and convention center expansion, and helping Indianapolis win a Super Bowl bid. He also describes rebuilding the culture and facilities of IU Athletics and the difficult decisions of firing coaches. Now at Gleaners, Glass explains the organization's large-scale food distribution model, its nationwide reach, and argues food insecurity is driven by poverty, rising housing and grocery costs, stagnant wages, and declining support. He urges volunteering and donations to help address hunger affecting about one million Hoosiers.
