Is Cincinnati the Outdoor Capital of the Midwest? (feat. Brian Bozeman & Mike Sipple Jr.)

Can one city become a magnet for talent, wellness, and innovation—just by building trails?

In this inspiring episode, Brian Bozeman shares how a family bike ride turned into a 60-kid mountain bike team, how the outdoors became his ministry, and why Cincinnati may be America’s best-kept secret for trail access and livability. We also dive into how outdoor recreation isn’t just good for your soul — it’s a serious strategy for business, workforce, and regional growth.

If you’ve ever wondered what’s possible when leaders say yes, this one will light a fire.
