Talkin' Chop

Happy Red Friday, KC! This week we sat down with the founders of Let It Fly Media to talk some shop in their home studio. Let It Fly has already made a huge impact in KC and the national sports industry, but they're just getting started. Tune in to hear their big goals for 2021 and beyond.

The Chiefs are hosting the AFC Championship for the third straight year, and we're set for an incredible game with two of the game's top young QBs. Let's not panic though, Mahomes is going to play... but he'll need the team to rally around him like last week to pull this one out on our way to #RunItBack.

Happy Red Friday! This week we’re joined by the one and only Kiona Sinks, Community Engagement Manager at the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum and Diversity & Inclusion Consultant with Elevate Consulting, Kiona Sinks

Kiona joins us to discuss her passion for Kansas City, baseball, diversity & inclusion, civic engagement, and a little bit of Chiefs football. She’s one of our favorite people here in town and is making a huge impact already at a young age.

The Browns come to town to take on our rested and battle tested Chiefs on Sunday at 2:05pm. Every Chiefs fan has the right to feel confident heading into Sunday, but the scars of years of Chiefs playoff heartbreak has everyone a bit nervous too. Tune in to hear our thoughts and predictions!

This week we’re joined by the President and Chief Innovation Officer of The Personal Marketing Company, Kyle Baack. Kyle walks us through his career story from majoring in music education, to living in India for 3 years, to now modernizing a legacy company. His company saw some great success in 2020 despite the pandemic, and they have big things planned for the future with the recent launch of their new website!

With the Chiefs on their first round bye this weekend, we’ll take a look at our favorite matchups to watch during a jam packed weekend of football. We’ll also cover a few questions regarding the Chiefs road to #RunItBack!

Did you know that KC had a 4th professional sports team? Well, you do now!

This week we're joined by the CEO of the Kansas City Pioneers and Social Apex, Mark Josey. Mark walks us through his career story and how he wound up running an esports brand, KCP's structure and teams, and his vision and goals for the future of the brand in Kansas City.

The Chiefs play a pretty meaningless game on Sunday after locking up the #1 seed with another close win against the Falcons last weekend. Without Mahomes under center, we're actually underdogs going into this game...

This week we’re joined by President and Co-Founder of J. Rieger & Co. and co-host of the Lemme Be Brief Podcast, Andy Rieger. In the spirit of his podcast, we cut right to the chase to talk about how Andy petitioned Congress to tweak the SBA small business lending program and the new bill that just passed, as well as his plans for 2021 and beyond with J. Rieger.

The Chiefs moved to 13-1 on the season and 8-0 on the road this year with their win in NOLA on Sunday. Andy has some beef with Frank Clark, but if he produces in the playoffs, we’ll all forget about his regular season. With the Falcons coming to town Sunday, the Chiefs can clinch the #1 seed and potentially rest our starters in week 17 with a win!

This week we’re joined by our friend Isaac Collins, community entrepreneur and owner of 3 Yogurtini franchises an SuperHero Yoga. Isaac walks us through his entrepreneurial background, shares his mindset on a very successful 2020 year, and tells us about more about how he’s involved around the KC community.

The Chiefs won their 5th straight AFC West title against the Dolphins and head to New Orleans on Sunday for what could be their final road game of the year. We don’t know if Drew Brees will be back at QB for the Saints, but Isaac thinks it’ll be a high-scoring game either way. Tune in to hear our predictions!

This week we're joined by the President of Chief of Staff KC, Casey Wright. Casey took over the reigns of COS last year, and has expanded a culture of being growth-oriented and people-first. Tune in to hear his ultimate goals for COS!

Our buddy Malekai has some awesome points about this Dolphins game having some big playoff implications. It'll be a great challenge for our offense going against Brian Flores's top 3 ranked defense. Does Coach have a good enough game plan to cover the 7.5 point spread?

This week we’re joined by former jock turned entrepreneur, TJ Roberts, of Farm Bureau Financial Services. TJ talks about his transition from playing football at K-State to getting into insurance, as well as his passion for creating community through coffee.

The Chiefs had another dominant offensive showing in Tampa Bay, proving they’re the top dog in the NFL yet again. The Broncos come to town for Sunday Night Football this week. Can we make it 11 straight wins this week?

This week we’re joined by the CEO and Founder of Proof Positioning, Grant Gooding, who tells us how his company helps his clients make better decisions, where he sees opportunities for Proof moving out of COVID, and what it truly takes to be an entrepreneur.

The Chiefs are coming off a thrilling comeback win against the Raiders, but Tom Brady rarely loses two in a row. Can the Chiefs defense step it up in Week 12 to take down Brady’s dynamic offense? Let’s just say Grant isn’t the biggest fan of Tom…

This week we’re joined by Matt Baysinger, CEO and Founder of SwellSpark, to discuss his passion for shared experiences and supporting local small businesses.

The Chiefs look to avenge their only loss of the season Sunday night in Vegas, and we’re all pretty confident Coach Reid isn’t going to take his foot off the gas this week after the Raiders took a victory lap around Arrowhead.
