Tour of America’s Dairyland is back for its 13th year Thursday, June 16 through Sunday, June 26, 2022!

Tour of America’s Dairyland (ToAD) began in 2009 as a “reboot” of Wisconsin’s Superweek, a multi-day cycling race that first started in Wisconsin in 1969. ToAD has then gone on to become the largest competitive road cycling series in the U.S., hosting eleven straight days of racing throughout Southeast Wisconsin.

In this episode, we’re joined by Tom Schuler, founder of ToAD, Bill Koch, Executive Director and Partner of ToAD, and Ryan Barbieri, cyclist and EVP at M3 (a sponsor of this year’s race). We’ll discuss the history of Tour of America’s Dairyland, what sets ToAD apart from other races, and what they’re most looking forward to this year.

In the ever-changing housing market, it’s hard to stay up to date on the latest news. Not to mention, getting accurate information from a credible source is a whole ‘nother ball game. That’s why we’ve brought in financial expert Steve Greiff, Senior Vice President and Director of Mortgage at Johnson Financial Group, to give us the lowdown.

Steve breaks down the state of the housing market today and what that means for both buyers and sellers. He’ll answer questions like, why is it a “seller's market” right now? How long will the seller's market last? Is now a good time to buy (or sell) a house? And some advice on how to prepare emotionally and financially for one of the largest financial transactions you may make.

Friend of the show, Michael Sheppard (Shep), has finally reached the caliber required to be on the show! But in all seriousness, we’re excited to have Shep join us and share his powerful story. He took the bull by the horns and shaped his life around success.

Shep didn’t have any easy past; having dealt with the death of his biological mom and the woman who became like his mom at a young age really shaped who he was and could have sent him spiraling had he not had such a powerful role model in his life at the time. Shep shares his desire to be that same positive symbol for inner-city youth and show them that through discipline and hard work, you can truly be whoever you want to be.

Sometimes it's easier to bury our heads in the sand and ignore the crises happening across seas; however, we must educate ourselves on the current environment we're living in. In fact, we're already starting to see the Russian-Ukraine war's impact within the states, and according to Doug Davis, this is just the beginning.

Doctor Doug Davis shares his personal experience helping his family flee Ukraine and how he’s partnered with the Ukrainian Medical Association of North America (UMANA) to help supply Ukraine with medical supplies–to date, UMANA has donated several hundreds of tons of medical supplies. Dr. Davis also discusses the misconceptions about the war, what led to it (and why it wasn't a surprise), what the family has been doing since escaping, and ultimately, the silver linings behind it all.

From a tragic ski accident in 2021 to skiing over 37,000 feet in one day in 2022: Blair Williams shares his life-altering story and what it’s been like for him post-stroke. He discusses dealing with chronic pain and the drastic changes he’s had to make; however, there are certain things he isn’t willing to give up, like skiing, golfing (albeit one-handed now), and his positive outlook on life. Blair discusses topics that evoke reflection on one’s own life and that though he’s always been a positive guy, he’s found a deeper appreciation for life since his stroke.
