The One-Night Mini-Coachella Raising Millions for Second Helpings | Ken Honeywell and Joe Ball, Tonic Ball
On today's show I sat down with Tonic Ball co-founder Ken Honeywell and committee chairman Joe Ball to discuss Tonic Ball, Indianapolis' own mini-coachella that celebrates its 25th anniversary on Friday, Nov. 20, in Fountain Square. They share how the Friday-before-Thanksgiving tribute show grew from a 2002 one-bar fundraiser at Radio Radio with about 150 attendees into a five-venue Fountain Square tradition that sells roughly 2,300 tickets, features 300 volunteer musicians across 60 tributes, and has raised close to $3 million for Second Helpings, including more than $1 million in the past four years. They explain Tonic Ball's origins inspired by New York's Loser's Lounge, its emphasis on creative reinterpretations rather than note-for-note covers, how the tribute lineup is chosen, and how the event helped spotlight Fountain Square's development. For the 25th anniversary, the show revisits all 60 past tributes, with Hall of Fame acts at Fountain Square Theater. Tickets are available at tonicball.org.

Why She Left Eli Lilly for a Landscaping Business | Kirsten Davenport-Norwood, Greene Thumb Landscape
On today's show I sat down with Kirsten Davenport-Norwood, owner of Greene Thumb Landscape, a second-generation residential and commercial landscaping company serving central Indiana. Kirsten shares how she lost her father in a tragic work accident two weeks before starting at Ball State, her mother taking over the landscape business immediately, and later her mother's unexpected death in 2022 as she prepared to move to Ireland for an Eli Lilly role. While pregnant and gaining guardianship of her nonverbal sister with Down syndrome, who later required emergency brain surgery at Stanford, Kirsten and her husband began running Greene Thumb, then left corporate careers to go all-in in 2024. She describes modernizing operations, establishing core values (safety, integrity, development, excellence), leading as a woman in a male-dominated industry, and differentiating through storytelling, community impact, and customer experience, while sharing Indiana favorites like Besties' Table and the State Fair.

She emphasizes troubling trends in girls' mental health, including higher bullying and cyberbullying rates, body image pressures, loneliness, and alarming depression and suicidal ideation statistics, plus challenges like homelessness and adverse childhood experiences.

How Brownstown, Indiana Turned Into a National Country Music Destination | Conner Barnette, Rock the Rind
On today's show I sat down with Conner Barnette, vice chairman of Brownstown Ewing Main Street and chairman of Rock the Rind, the country music festival that revived momentum around the Jackson County Watermelon Festival tradition in Brownstown after the original festival was shut down in 2016. Barnette explains how Brownstown Ewing Main Street, operating on about $3,000 a year, pursued revenue generation and community revitalization by launching a music festival, relying on local sponsorships, volunteers, and guidance from promoter Drew Eads. He discusses early challenges like booking major acts, hospitality requirements, power and water infrastructure, layout, and long beer lines, plus learning from year-one chaos. The festival grew from about 800–1,500 attendees in year one to 4,000+ by year three, drew ticket buyers from 38 states, featured headliners like Sarah Evans, Travis Tritt, and Stephen Wilson Jr., and aims to fund future town projects.

They also share community pride, small-town misconceptions, and outdoor recreation such as the Jackson-Washington State Forest. The second segment is a conversation with Arann Banks (Executive Director of the Jackson County Visitor Center) and Dan Robison (Executive Director of the Jackson County Chamber), who highlight Jackson County's history, festival-driven tourism, agriculture and manufacturing economy, collaborative civic culture, and entrepreneurship efforts including SPARK Shop and a $300,000 venture capital fund.

The Incredible Story Behind Butler Basketball's Number 44 | Krissi Edgington, Project 44
On today's show I sat down with Krissi Edgington, co-founder of Project 44, to discuss honoring late Butler basketball player Andrew Smith and expanding the NMDP bone marrow and blood stem cell registry through storytelling, sports partnerships, and a simple cheek swab. Edgington looks back on Smith's leukemia diagnosis after he played professionally overseas, the reality that 70% of patients need an unrelated donor match tied to ethnic diversity, and how advocacy grew after Smith's passing in January 2016, especially when teammate Chase Stigall matched and donated marrow to a 2-year-old boy. Edgington explains Project 44's mission to inspire a "culture of yes," shares 10-year anniversary milestones including Project 44 Way/Andrew Smith Way near Hinkle Fieldhouse and an Indianapolis proclamation naming April 4 as Project 44 Day, and highlights the "Finding 44" podcast hosted by Larra Overton, executive producer, host & reporter for the Indianapolis Colts.

She Organized Bedrooms… And Now Works with Pro Athletes | Rachel Whiteaker,, The Simple Life
On today's show I sat down with Rachel Whiteaker, founder of The Simple Life, a professional organizing firm she started in 2011.

She describes early growth tactics like flyers and a LivingSocial deal that brought strangers as clients, the lessons learned about pricing, safety, and why three-hour sessions don't work, and how the company now uses six-hour, team-based sessions with consultations, decluttering decisions, cleaning, product systems, and labeling. Whiteaker explains building a team to increase impact, generating referrals through networking with real estate and design partners, and using consistent Instagram content.

Kramer explains YPCI as a membership-based organization with 400–500 members that hosts monthly happy hours and coffee connects, plus annual events like golf outings and galas to help young professionals meet friends and opportunities. He shares his path from attending his first YPCI event around age 24 to joining the board and becoming president, and describes choosing venues to support local businesses and coffee shops. He discusses keeping events non-transactional, using curiosity and authenticity in conversations, and a rule for warm introductions.

From Nearly Broke to $1M+ a Month | Katherine Watercutter, Gold Hinge
On today's show I sat down with Katherine Watercutter, a former Indiana University distance runner, seven-time All-American, multi-time Big Ten champion, and national podium finisher, about her athletic career and post-grad entrepreneurship journey when she founded Gold Hinge as a side hustle at 23. Watercutter transferred to IU as a walk-on and struggled with fitness and pressure before earning a full scholarship after placing 11th at cross-country nationals and setting school records. After graduation she worked in sales and started Gold Hinge in 2019, initially as an online boutique, facing cash burn, credit-line debt, and near-shutdown moments. A tie-dye Champion sweatshirt ad scaled during COVID to $100K a month but was unsustainable, leading her to private labeling and a breakthrough pleated tennis skirt with help from an ad agency. Gold Hinge later scaled to major revenue of over $1M a month, earning Watercutter a 2024 Forbes 30 Under 30 spot, and produced collaborations with the Indianapolis Colts and Homefield/IU.

The Fight to Preserve Indiana's Natural Beauty | Andrea Huntington, Indiana Land Protection Alliance
On today's show I sat down with Andrea Huntington, executive director of the Indiana Land Protection Alliance (ILPA), which unites and supports Indiana's land conservation community. ILPA member land trusts serve all 92 counties and have protected more than 176,000 acres. Huntington explains land trusts as nonprofit organizations that protect land for nature and people, often providing free public access via trails and amenities. She shares her path from practicing law to fundraising at Shirley Heinze Land Trust and then leading ILPA, which offers trainings, conferences, and technical support for land trust staff. Huntington also discusses misconceptions about land trusts, collaboration with economic development, Indiana's ecological diversity, including 30 national natural landmarks, and the need for more conservation given only 4% of Indiana is public land, plus volunteer opportunities and "Land Trust Days" events August through October.

Jenn discusses her career path from the Indianapolis Motor Speedway to healthcare marketing and how Hancock Health focuses on the customer journey, brand storytelling, digital experience, and virtual care.

From Bird Food to 15–18 Million Pounds of Coffee a Year | Brad Gutwein, Copper Moon Coffee
On today's show I sat down with Brad Gutwein, co-founder and CEO of Copper Moon Coffee in Lafayette, Indiana. Brad remembers starting his career after Purdue by joining his family's feed mill business, where he and his brothers grew Morning Song Wild Bird Food from a small regional operation into a major national supplier for retailers like Walmart, Costco, Sam's Club, Target, and others, ultimately selling the company to Scotts Miracle-Gro in 2005. Inspired by parallels between blending bird seed and coffee, Brad and his brother, Cary, purchased Copper Moon Coffee in 2007 from a Marsh Foods-related entity and shifted it from convenience/office channels toward premium retail branding. After early struggles in a highly competitive category, moving to a new Lafayette facility in 2013 enabled upgraded equipment and K-cup production, helping scale to roughly 15–18 million pounds annually and 150–160 employees, with strong growth via Amazon, club, and grocery channels.

How Do You Improve America's #1 Place to Live? | Sue Finkam, Carmel Mayor
On today's show I sat down with Carmel Mayor Sue Finkam about how Carmel grew from rapid early-2000s expansion into a 106,000-resident city voted the nation's best place to live, driven first by schools and later by walkability, arts, and distinct districts like the Art & Design District, Midtown, and City Center. Mayor Finkam credits Mayor Jim Brainard's success to listening to residents and selling a long-term vision, including architecturally significant development, public art, and roundabout-centered design standards. She addresses misconceptions that Carmel is snobby or uniformly wealthy, noting district diversity, 110 languages from 90 different countries spoken in schools, and local poverty concerns that led to a food access commission. Mayor Finkam outlines her leadership priorities of keeping Carmel safe, clean, and beautiful, plus government modernization, cultural "one team" operations, and public safety innovations like drone first responders and advanced firefighter helmet technology.

The 130-Year History Hiding Behind the Rathskeller | Craig Mince, Athenaeum Foundation
On today's show I sat down with Craig Mince, president of the Athenaeum Foundation, about the Athenaeum (often known as the Rathskeller) and its evolution from Das Deutsche Haus, founded by pro-democracy German Turner gymnasts committed to "sound mind, sound body." Craig explains the building's 1894 east wing (gym, Rathskeller) and 1897 west wing (parlors, ballroom, 400-seat theater), its open membership model, and its role in early physical education training. Our conversation covers name changes during anti-German sentiment, long-running German heritage events, and how a $6 million Lilly Endowment gift led to forming the nonprofit foundation in 1991 to save the building. Craig details today's operations, including the Turner Gymnasium with 900+ members, Coat Check Coffee, theater restoration plans, and major events like St. Paddy's Day and Germanfest, and shares local ghost stories and overnight paranormal hunts.

How Do You Repair a Home on $936 a Month? | Rachel Nelson, Home Repairs for Good
On today's show I sat down with Rachel Nelson, executive director of Home Repairs for Good, an Indianapolis nonprofit that helps older adults (62+) and people with disabilities living on very low incomes (about 30% AMI) stay safely in their homes through free critical repairs inside Marion County's 465 loop. Nelson explains how the organization began in 2013 as NeighborLink Indianapolis when founder Dave Withy and friends did word-of-mouth repairs, often preventing citations, fines, liens, and potential loss of homes. She details their scale (hundreds of repairs annually, including citation-related work), volunteer pathways from low-skill projects to trained gutter and in-home "handy" teams with background checks, and funding through donors, churches, team volunteer donations, and paid subcontracting. Our conversation also covers workforce development through BY Plus with paid jobsite experience, plus a Growth Program that earns revenue via contractor work to sustain free repairs, and future plans to expand aging-ready home modifications.
