Dr. Mike Godard proudly serves as the 13th President of Indiana State University, bringing over 25 years of higher education leadership. His distinguished career spans multiple pivotal roles, from dedicated faculty member to department chair, vice provost, and most recently, provost.

On today's episode, we had the immense pleasure and honor to bring in the 13th president of Indiana State University! Dr. Mike Godard, as busy as he is, was gracious enough to sit down with us and discuss the man behind the Sycamore symbol. Mike credits much of his success to the proper mentors being put onto his path at the perfect times. He emphasizes the importance of making the best of the path you are on, while being cognizant of unanticipated opportunities and taking advantage of said opportunities. Dr. Mike Godard is the embodiment of "life is what you make it," and his efforts are consistently rooted in his ability to raise the ships around him. While we only scratched the surface, this abbreviated episode gives great insight to the man Mike is, and how his influence on Indiana State University will be immediate and long standing.

Have you enjoyed an adult beverage and some wings at our local Show-Me's? Have you rocked out, vibed out (hopefully not passed out!) at a concert at The Mill? Well you have Tim Drake and his family to thank for those fun endeavors! We sat down with Tim discuss the journey as an entrepreneur, and how that path is never linear. There were ups, downs, twists and turns, but Tim stands today as optimistic as ever for the future of Terre Haute and everything it will continue to offer the surrounding areas!

Do you need to relax, chill out, or hakuna matata? Sit back and enjoy the chill conversation with Kelsey Terry, co-owner of Common Grounds Yoga & CrossFit. Kelsey is the epitome of love everyone, and "meet them where they are." We get into Kelsey's family dynamic and background, which helped shape who she is as a friend, partner, and most importantly, a parent. Kelsey's love for yoga doesn't start with the activity itself, but the principles that she embodied from early childhood and has stayed true to throughout her life. Join us on this journey into Kelsey's life philosophy, ideals, and parenting style. Pro tip, you'll want to listen all the way through, because she may or may not have changed a little about how we approach life on a daily basis.

Dr. Hinton was gracious enough to carve time out of her busy schedule; working for Indiana State University, while also being the first African-American woman to serve on Terre Haute City Council. Dr. Hinton gives us all a look into her background, discussing how church and community has shaped her perspective of how to navigate this thing called life, as well as her experience in higher education - both as a student and as a professor. Dr. Hinton is the epitome of being grounded and humble. The world is clearly a better place the more involved she is, and we would all benefit from the depth of knowledge and experience she shares with us!
