What we love about this show is bringing awareness to awesome organizations and people that our listeners may not otherwise know.

Story is incredible: Musician signed to major record label, former improv comedy actor, best buds with Ted Lasso himself, Jason Sudeikis, CEO of Steps of Faith which has raised over $3 million to pay for prosthetic limbs for uninsured amputees, organizer of one of Kansas City’s largest and sought-after events (Thundergong!), amputee yourself from cancer, appeared in Netflix’s series Girlboss, AND drummer for one of KC’s best tribute bands….Summer Breeze….WOW! We’re going to struggle to find things to talk about today.

• If you've been in Kansas City for a bit, you may have been hearing about this recent annual event called "Thundergong!" — involving Jason Sudeikis, Fred Armisen, Will Forte, and Wynonna Judd, alongside other celebrities and musicians.
  • NAME - How did you guys come up with the name of the event?
  • How did you and Jason come up with the idea of the event?
• Failings of the healthcare industry - I’ve read articles where you mention this multiple times so obviously this is at the heart of your WHY with Steps of Faith.  
  • Can you elaborate on what these failings are?
  • Is there a solution besides putting on awesome nonprofit events to help people?
• Amputation & Cancer - You’ve obviously accepted this challenge life threw at you and made lemonade from lemons. 
  • I’ve heard you say that coping with the loss of your leg gave you a “whole new perspective on life.” - HOW and WHY?
  • I’ve heard you talk about MISCONCEPTIONS about amputees - Can you explain?
• Comedy Sportz - Rivermarket area in the mid-90’s - Love that place!
• People often ask me: How did you become good or learn how to start and run businesses?
  • I always reply: “Playing in a band was life’s university.”
  • I learned about marketing, interpersonal communication, website design, the art of follow-up, rejection, travel, problem solving, routing tour dates, etc
• Drums - “Playing the drums rewired your brain as a 12 year old.” Same. How did this change the trajectory of your life?
  • “Wipeout” inspired/intrigued you - SAME!
• Major Record Label - Touring experience, recording, showcases, the entertainment business, bad things that happened
• SUMMER BREEZE - Yacht Rock Cover Band - Beach Boys, Christopher Cross, Hall & Oates, Toto, Steely Dan

• Dr. Grenita Lathan views her role as chief advocate for Springfield Public Schools, its students and employees. She takes that responsibility seriously and keeps her focus on efforts to positively impact the 24,500 students and 3,500 employees who learn and work at SPS
• First off, the superintendency seems to 1be one of the most rapidly changing roles in public education. In your opinion, what is the primary function of a superintendent of a large public school district today?
• Whether it's through School Improvement Plans, or working alongside stakeholders, legislators, etc - How important is it for you to have accessible and accurate data when making decisions about your district’s future?
• Have you noticed a correlation between parent engagement and student outcomes in your district?
• Preparing students for the “digital age” has been an evergreen term/phrase for the better part of 25 years now.  
  • In 2023 what exactly does this look like anymore - “Preparing students for the digital age?”
• In my previous years as a public school teacher, I observed that large-scale technology rollouts can be disastrous in the absence of effective planning and implementation. Do you have any recommendations for other superintendents who are considering a district-wide tech initiative?
• The face of education is constantly changing. What is one recent trend that you think will have a major influence on school districts in the years to come?
• Is there one particular innovation or achievement that you are especially proud of in your time with Springfield?
• Generic and broad question - How do schools improve? 
  • Easy to say “test scores” or more resources or better teachers, etc
  • So Utopian
• From where we stand, the superintendent (like many “CEO” roles in organizations or companies) is a pretty thankless position.  How do you balance keeping the peace, motivating people, doing what’s best for kiddos, providing resources to educators, etc without it all crumbling down on your emotionally?
• I always found it interesting how far down the road school leadership groups are working on the Vision, Mission, and roadmap for where the district is going for the next 5-10 years.  Talk to us about how much preparation goes into getting a district to be a top-tier district. 
• When a district needs/wants resources in order to improve facilities, etc how do bonds and levees work?

During the 2022-2023 school year, Dr. Lathan’s work will focus around three key goals:

• Review and revise the strategic plan
• Increase student performance
• Enhance communication

He has won eight Missouri Press Association first-place awards for columns, features and sports stories and been honored by United Press International, the Associated Press, Morris Communications and Gatehouse Media for his work. In 2009, he was named the Central Hockey League’s Media Member of the Year for his coverage of the new Missouri Mavericks hockey team and he is a lifetime member of the Baseball Writers Association of America. He was the Kansas City Royals beat writer for 21 years.

Bill also hosts The Sonic Locker Room, a weekly radio program that features 18 area high schools. He has been honored by the Missouri Broadcasters Association for his work on that program and his play-by-play broadcast of last year’s Blue Springs South High School state championship basketball game.

Bill has written nine books, including his most recent – “From the Guys Who Were There” – which takes fans into the locker room and behind the scenes of the Kansas City Royals past two World Series appearances, including last year’s World Series crown. Some of the highlights: Alex Gordon lists his five favorite defensive plays, Salvador Perez talks about the origin of his post-game dunking celebration and Wade Davis details his dramatic ninth-inning performance against the Toronto Blue Jays that helped the Royals reach the World Series. He has also written books with Kansas City Royals Hall of Fame second baseman Frank White, former Kansas City Chiefs Pro Bowlers Dante Hall and Priest Holmes and books tracing the history of the Chiefs and University of Missouri sports.

He and his wife Stacy have two sons – Zach and Sean – who are both members of the Grain Valley High School Hall of Fame, Zach for golf and Sean for basketball. Dad joined his sons in the Hall of Fame two years ago when he was voted in for his work covering Grain Valley sports for The Examiner. His constant companion is Marley, the family’s mini-wiener dog who has overcome paralysis and a laundry list of medical issues to inspire him in his daily walk through life.

When he’s not covering area high school or professional sports, Bill enjoys concerts and movies. If you ever want to talk sports, movies or rock ‘n roll, he’s your guy.

Brien’s food knowledge began in her childhood garden, where her father would set aside space for her brother and her to grow whatever they’d like. She helped with farms at her high school and college and appreciated the lessons farming gives to students as well as supplying food to the cafeterias.

Her first paid farming job was at a 3-acre restaurant farm in Boulder. She created a crop plan to suit the needs of the five-restaurant group associated with the farm. By then she knew that growing food was her passion! To cut down her commute, she found a benefited position with the Denver Botanic Gardens and soon built a successful suite of urban agriculture programs.

Brien learned of Cultivate KC in the summer of 2016 and thought it seemed like a one-stop shop for food access, urban agriculture training, support and advocacy. She’d been hoping for an opportunity to join the organization.

When asked what excites her about working with Cultivate, Brien replied, “Who wouldn’t be excited by the magic that is watching a tiny seed planted in the ground, grow into a plant, produce a bounty, and craft the very seeds that will start the cycle over again?” She enjoys living with the seasons and understands that each year from death springs a renewal of life. Along with the Cultivate team, she’s excited to share these seasonal rhythms and lessons and make farming and food accessible to more people.

She also recognizes that any job within the food system can be daunting, because we’re in some small part responsible for a supply chain that provides the most basic human need: food. She said, “if we approach our work with a level of respect and care deserving of our product and our customer, we should feel exalted and awed by what we can accomplish.”

Comparing KC’s urban farming scene to those in other cities, one unique aspect Brien observes here is visibility. It seems in some parts of town, you can’t go a few blocks without seeing a community garden, urban farm or community orchard project. Compared to many other comparably sized cities, she also sees more of an emphasis on farming as a profession in the urban space.

Some issues Brien sees that are not unique to K.C.’s urban farmers are the rising cost of land and competition from development as well as the myriad of challenges climate change brings. Higher overall temperatures (especially nighttime temperatures) and increased disease pressure will continue to plague cities and, by extension, urban farmers.

Brien wants Cultivate KC to remain a trusted resource for new and beginning farmers. “I want us to continue to engage in policy discussions regarding farming, food access and climate change and, whenever possible, I want us to play a bigger role in food access. Our farm sites will serve as a model for urban farming and a platform for education and research.”

When not farming or gardening, Brien enjoys reading as well as cycling, running and hiking with her family. They’re looking forward to adventuring in their new home and ecosystem.

Deepening a sense of community among Kansas Citians through the promotion of our city’s unique flavors and culture and contributing to the vitality of the great Midwest

AT BOULEVARDIA WE PROMOTE THE FOLLOWING PRINCIPLES:

• Providing opportunities to cultivate local partnerships; from fresh, local food elements to artisans, designers, vendors and business relationships
• Education of the craft beer industry and the business and community impact these breweries deliver
• Deepening a sense of community among Kansas Citians through the promotion of our city’s unique flavors and culture and contributing to the vitality of the great Midwest

JESS ROGERS

• Part of planning committee since inception
• KC Artists Coalition - Promoting arts awareness and supporting the professional growth of artists.
• Charlotte Street Foundation - CharlotteStreet.org
• Cover of The Pitch? Sewing specialty? Soulshine & Bob Jovi jackets
• Ride2Boulevardia.com → Start/Finish is located south of Crown Center and the Boulevardia festival grounds - between 27th Terr and 29th St, and between McGee Trafficway and Gillham Rd. 

WHY FATHER’S DAY WEEKEND?

• By June, summer is starting to crank into full swing. 
• While we’re paying tribute to the things that make our nation great, our founding fathers also thought it a fine idea to tip their hats to all fathers. Because if there’s anyone who would appreciate a relaxing holiday weekend the Boulevardia way, it’s a dad.

WHY GRAND BOULEVARD?

• Boulevardia draws inspiration from the community in which we gather to celebrate. In 2014, we had our humble beginning in the West Bottoms in the shadow of the 12th Street Bridge, 2017 The stockyards…
• Starting in 2022, we're thrilled to call Grand Boulevard – one of the most iconic thoroughfares in Kansas City – our home. 

WHY DO WE CHEERS TO ALL?

• There’s already too much trouble and disagreement throughout the rest of the world, so far be it from us to add to any unrest. 
• What makes us happy and our nation function most effectively is seeing people from all walks of life and of all ages, races, styles and personalities come together with the same motivations.

ENDING: Festival-goers will enjoy craft beer and food samples. There is also live music from local, regional, and national bands. A full lineup is available online at boulevardia.com/lineup.

Boulevardia is scheduled for June 16-17, 2023. Tickets and ticket packages are on sale and start around $40 per person.

• Eddy’s father was on the Cuban national baseball team and arrived in Miami in 1964 after spending three days at sea, rowing from Cuba to freedom.

  • Symbolism of boat in the office - Visitors sign the hull of the boat - Talk about this
• Eddy was able to see firsthand what freedom of mind, spirit, and career can do in someone's life.
• Eddy is an avid learner and says from his Father he has learned what it means to be a man, to be a father, and to be a friend. From his Mother, he has learned tenacity, grit, and courage.

• Eddy believes this is the perfect recipe to what has shaped him today and with those traits he strives every day to be 1% better than the day before.

  • Atomic Habits - James Clear starts by stating, “If you were able to improve by 1% each day for an entire year, and those gains compound, you would end up 37 times better at the end of the year.” It’s the little choices and small habits that transform a person gradually, whether it be beneficial habits that uplift, or unhelpful ones that gradually erode.”

https://loc8mybusiness.com/

I was raised by a single mother who taught me early on that the key to success was having a hard work ethic. That work ethic directly translates over to success in the mortgage industry. 

I started working food service jobs when I was 14 and learned early on the value of elite client service. 

As a youth, I fell in love with music and skateboarding. Those two communities were diverse, supportive, and got me through some tough times. 

Since I barely graduated high school, I thought I would pursue another one of my passions -  cooking. 

Flunked out of culinary school and worked hard in bars for a few years until I moved back to Michigan. 

I got a degree in English education. Much like educators, mortgage professionals help individuals overcome obstacles. 

Unfortunately, teaching didn’t pay well and I had a few friends that worked in the mortgage industry down at Quicken Loans. 

I started at UWM in May of 2016 as an Account Executive. Rode that for a year, but teaching was in my blood. 

I built a Sales Coaching Team here at UWM and eventually was selected as one of the individuals to build Success Track. 

In 2021, Mat had a vision to create a team to help mortgage professionals all across the country grow. One of the main things I’ve picked up from Mat, is the idea of Servant Leadership. I embrace that as a leader of the Partner Services Team. 

Work ethic, attitude, and the idea of reaching the top together is a mindset I embrace every day.

The mortgage industry is 100,000 percent mindset based. 

If you wake up positive, you will make an impact, those impacts are little victories, those little victories add up to championships.

I derive my coaching techniques from the intersection of a heart-centered approach to life, and a relationship-based approach to business. I believe in the power of warmth and authenticity, particularly when they are grounded in practicality.

My coaching style comes down to one defining difference: success is a choice. In fact, it’s your choice.

It’s knowing that you can turn to yourself, time and time again. And when you lose your way, I’m here to guide you with my signature problem-solving skills, that will help you transform your life from the inside out. Regardless of industry, circumstance, title, hopes or dreams—I can empower you to choose the life you want. 

I coach because I believe the greatest investment we can ever make is the investment we make in ourselves. My greatest asset as a mentor are my learnings from my own journey as a high achiever, who has dealt with disconnect, burnout and losing sight of my purpose. I help clients bridge the gap between what they want and what they need. I teach by example that success is not limited to your career. Personal and professional happiness are intrinsically connected, and when you take the time to thoughtfully cultivate one, the other follows. Whichever you’re looking to start with, I am ready to begin the transformation with you.
