On today's show I sat down with two Hoosiers making national headlines this fall.

My first guest was Myles Mclaughlin, the nation's top high school rusher from Knox, Indiana. We discuss his journey, team dynamics, and future aspirations of playing football at the next level.

I then had an engaging interview with Sydney Shrewsbury, Miss Indiana USA 2025. She shares her background from Kentucky to Indiana, the unique distinctions between Miss America and Miss USA, and her preparations for Miss USA 2025 that takes place in Reno, Nevada from Oct. 18-24. This year's edition will mark the 74th Miss USA pageant.

Sydney also shares her thoughts on Indiana and offers motivational advice for young women.
