In this fast chat, Steve has a fun conversation with Carl Brown from the Fresh Coast Jazz Festival.

On its surface, the Fresh Coast Jazz Festival has great music from superstars of jazz along with a few uniquely fun events.

But as Steve dug in with Carl, he learned how festival proceeds go to support scholarships, school music programs, healthcare initiatives and more across the Milwaukee community. All to honor Carl's parents.

Take a listen, then get your tickets for great music and a great cause at FreshCoastJazz.com. The festival is Friday, August 25 and Saturday, August 26.

This episode features Groth Law, Wisconsin Personal Injury Attorneys. We’ve all seen the marketing of personal injury lawyers on billboards, while streaming our favorite shows, and at events around town.

Well, founder Jon Groth joins Steve and Adam for a lively, behind-the-scenes discussion about how these types of firms work.

A second reason Jon joins the show is to announce a new partnership between Groth Law and Experience Milwaukee.

Groth Law’s financial support allows us to continue to highlight the people, places, and events that make our city amazing - at no cost to those people, places and events.

And in addition to the podcast, Groth Law is also supporting TextMKE, Milwaukee's only daily text on what’s happening in and around the city.

Thanks, Jon.
