Made In Indiana

What happens when life keeps moving the goalposts? You become the quarterback.

In this episode of Made in Indiana, Kyle sits down with motivational speaker, best-selling author, entrepreneur, and professional encourager QB Darla Hall.

Darla shares how she turned personal challenges into purpose, built Witty Publications, authored more than 30 children’s books, and developed a platform dedicated to helping people recognize their gifts and throw their own touchdowns. The conversation explores resilience, personal branding, networking with intention, and why the best game plan often begins with believing you belong on the field.

Darla doesn’t simply motivate people from the sidelines. She brings them into the huddle, hands them the ball, and reminds them that their next play still matters.

Because sometimes Beast Mode isn’t about overpowering the world.

It’s about refusing to sit out your own life.

What happens when AI stops being a buzzword and starts actually solving problems for small businesses?

On this episode of MII, we sit down with Jasen Holloway, founder of HAIAS, an Indiana-based automation company helping service businesses capture opportunities they might otherwise miss.

It's a conversation about AI, where it belongs, where it doesn't, why automation shouldn't mean removing the human element, and how small businesses can use technology without becoming tech companies themselves.

What happens when we stop asking, "What can AI do?" and start asking, "What problems do I need it to solve?"

With over 30 years of entrepreneurship—including multiple bankruptcies, seven-figure wins, and

everything in between—Gabe Arnold has learned that systems, not heroics, drive growth.

As the CEO of Simple Operations and Business Marketing Engine, Gabe helps visionary founders

build process-driven businesses that scale predictably. He is the author of "Atomic Words," which

explores the power of strategic communication, and "Passenger Seat Leadership," the definitive

guide to escaping operational chaos.

When Gabe implemented his own frameworks at his 18-year-old agency, he doubled revenue and

tripled profit in just 18 months, finally moving from the "Driver’s Seat" to the "Passenger Seat." Today,

through his books and programs, he helps hundreds of owners achieve massive visions without

sacrificing family, health, or sanity.
