Leaders and Legends

Evan Bayh is one of only two Hoosiers to win statewide elective office at least five times. He was a governor, a United States Senator, and now we’re happy to say he’s our guest on the “Leaders and Legends” podcast. We talk with him about his career, what it was like to grow up with such formidable parents, and how proud he is of the people who have worked for him. Our friend Jim Shella joins us for the conversation.

Becky Skillman served Hoosiers with distinction as their 49th lieutenant governor—but her career was remarkable long before she joined Mitch Daniels’ ticket in 2004.

She joins the “Leaders and Legends” podcast to discuss her career, her love of Indiana and even divulges her high school nickname. We are grateful to have our friend Jim Shella joins us for the discussion.
