I was an announcer for middle school, [00:01:45] Speaker A: especially for a number of years. [00:01:46] Speaker B: So they asked if I would just come and fill his shoes. [00:01:49] Speaker A: Nice.

[00:02:01] Speaker B: And my first year, Jason was sick and missed an entire school year. So I happened to be the basketball announcer the year Chase Jackson Davis was Mr. Basketball. [00:02:11] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:02:12] Speaker B: And I took over for Jason as the softball announcer for that one season. They want to say championship. It's all you, I feel. Yeah, I never really. Never really thought about that. [00:02:21] Speaker A: But yeah, I asked for a raise. [00:02:23] Speaker B: I should have. I went to a New Pal game once. They're really good. [00:02:27] Speaker A: They're really good too. Yeah. [00:02:31] Speaker B: Who have thought that Mel ver would have Mr. [00:02:33] Speaker C: Basket crazy. [00:02:35] Speaker B: All right. I see. Tequila Ramire. [00:02:38] Speaker C: Actually, I just said it wrong. It's Ramari. [00:02:41] Speaker B: Ramari. [00:02:41] Speaker C: I always say it wrong for some reason. Ramari Val.

Great. You the woolen beers? I don't own it. No, I just. We do distribute it. Yes, we do distribute it. [00:02:59] Speaker B: All right, good for you. Well, today I am drinking pale Dutch boy. [00:03:05] Speaker A: Wait a second. [00:03:06] Speaker B: As an American pale ale from. Boy, I can't even read what brewing that is. Anyone read Windmill. Yeah, Windmill brewing out of some. Probably Michigan. [00:03:18] Speaker C: I had to guess a Dutch boy. [00:03:21] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:03:21] Speaker C: They wear wooden shoes, don't they? They do. [00:03:24] Speaker A: And. [00:03:24] Speaker B: And they make a decent, you know, pale ale deer. So here we go. [00:03:28] Speaker C: It doesn't give a place where it's from. Oh, dire Indiana. [00:03:32] Speaker A: Oh, forgetting Indiana beer. There you go. [00:03:35] Speaker C: So many windmills in Dire too. [00:03:38] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:03:38] Speaker B: Really is. I have. Yeah. [00:03:41] Speaker C: Maybe Elwood should start a windmill beer. There's a lot of windmills. [00:03:45] Speaker B: There you go. And Matt, he is chosen not to drink today, so that's okay. [00:03:50] Speaker A: I'm not drinking. I came in here and saw. I felt peer pressure when I walked in here. I mean, this thing. [00:03:54] Speaker C: Oh, you ain't even see. [00:03:56] Speaker A: Yeah, they can't even see. They haven't even. They can't even see on this video. I mean, you can see a lot of it, but there's more over there. [00:04:02] Speaker B: Over there. [00:04:03] Speaker A: I mean, I walked in, I thought I was in the wrong place. [00:04:06] Speaker B: You know, if I walked in and [00:04:07] Speaker C: seen this, I would know for a fact I was hitting the. [00:04:10] Speaker A: Yeah. Yes. [00:04:12] Speaker C: Unless it was supposed to be an A. [00:04:15] Speaker A: Wrong place. That is correct. [00:04:17] Speaker B: All right, Matt, let's find out some stuff about you. So you pointed at the shirt, which is apec. [00:04:21] Speaker A: Yeah. AP Engineering Consulting. We're a full service environmental consulting, geotechnical engineering and construction materials firm. So we're working with real estate developers, we're working with general contractors, other engineering firms, real estate attorneys. Anybody involved in the real estate world is building anything. And there's a lot of that happening around here, that's for sure. We're working with those companies to either do what they call environmental site assessments, also known as phase ones, to check, to test. So I always tell people I like to play in dirt. That's what we do, play in dirt. Right. But my tag on LinkedIn is I help developers create success and clean sites. That's what we're doing. We're trying to make sure that all the land you can Develop. You can develop whatever it is you're wanting to develop on that land. Because any piece of land I've used this loosely has the potential to be. You can develop whatever you want depending on how much money you got. That's what we like to do. We don't like to tell clients out, but they're like, hey, can I do this on this? How much money you got? How much money you got? Because you can do almost anything anywhere. It just depends on what you want to do and how much money you got to be able to do that. [00:05:22] Speaker C: We made a connection that he knows an insurance gentleman. It was on our. On our show. [00:05:26] Speaker A: Don. Don Lettrick is the. The owner of Startup. [00:05:29] Speaker C: Yeah, but that's not down, right? What. What did Don do? [00:05:32] Speaker B: Oh, sorry, I. I apologize. [00:05:33] Speaker C: I thought. [00:05:34] Speaker B: Nevermind, I'm not making. Yes, we had Don, who is the creator of Start It Up Foundation. Right, right. I knew Don from the education world and so we had him on the show to talk about his awesome foundation. [00:05:46] Speaker C: And then we had a gentleman on the show who's a big friend of mine. [00:05:51] Speaker A: Is it Fred? Fred. [00:05:52] Speaker B: Is it Fred? [00:05:53] Speaker A: Fred Nichols. That name sounds really familiar. [00:05:56] Speaker C: Well, it's because he's been in your industry for 30 plus years. [00:05:59] Speaker A: Okay, keep going. [00:06:00] Speaker C: He's not anymore. [00:06:00] Speaker B: Fred retired. [00:06:01] Speaker A: Okay. [00:06:02] Speaker C: He's in living retirement age. [00:06:04] Speaker B: Right. [00:06:04] Speaker C: He's chilling. [00:06:05] Speaker B: No job, dude, he loves. Hi, Fred. [00:06:08] Speaker C: He watches the show. He just doesn't comment as much anymore. So he. He did the same thing. Like he made sure the dirt was clean. [00:06:15] Speaker A: Yeah. Fred Nichols. That name sounds really familiar. He probably worked for a competitor then, I'm guessing. [00:06:19] Speaker C: I think a couple of them probably. [00:06:21] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:06:22] Speaker C: He was with a few companies and that was his thing. [00:06:25] Speaker B: Definitely on Facebook. [00:06:26] Speaker C: I know he worked with. Helping get the Wawa, which. [00:06:29] Speaker A: Yeah, we've actually done a couple of those actually. Not this one. Not the one here in Cumberland, which Greenfield says it's theirs, but it's in Cumberland by address. But the Wawa here is in Cumberland, so we didn't do that one. But we've done a couple others that are still hit pre development stages, so those are great. [00:06:45] Speaker B: Yeah, Bucky's business. [00:06:47] Speaker A: That's what I'm told. Down your way down there. And there's supposed to be one up north of Whitestown too, I think. I think the one in Bartersville is more official. I think just. This is not me. No official. No official word. But what I've heard is that one is going to happen though. [00:07:03] Speaker B: I think I've seen it like 2028 [00:07:04] Speaker A: or 20 Horsdell Road, I believe is where it's supposed to be. [00:07:08] Speaker B: So be excited. [00:07:09] Speaker C: Yeah, I. When I went to the first BUC EE's in Texas in like, 2016 and [00:07:15] Speaker A: thought, wow, these are cool. Yeah. [00:07:17] Speaker B: Yeah, it is. It is something. But it's just a gas station. [00:07:20] Speaker C: A lot of bathrooms. [00:07:21] Speaker A: It is a lot of bathrooms. But you know what their motto is? They have the cleanest bathrooms and all. And they do. There's someone manning those. Manning or womaning those. Those restrooms all the time. Yeah, all the time. [00:07:30] Speaker C: Yeah, we. [00:07:31] Speaker B: We. Yep. [00:07:31] Speaker C: We've definitely stopped in there and had Bucky's. [00:07:34] Speaker B: Best nuts you've ever had. [00:07:36] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:07:37] Speaker C: Try our Viva nuts. [00:07:38] Speaker B: They're really great. [00:07:38] Speaker A: They do have a lot of [00:07:42] Speaker B: fresh brisket on the bar, on the table or something. [00:07:44] Speaker A: Yeah. And their food's great, too. I mean, for. For. They call themselves a convenience store and then a gas station. So however you want to look at it, their food is really good. Wawa's food's pretty good, too. [00:07:53] Speaker C: I haven't eaten a wawa. [00:07:55] Speaker B: I've had a sandwich. [00:07:56] Speaker A: Yeah, it's not bad. [00:07:57] Speaker C: I try to eat a lot of gas station food. [00:07:59] Speaker A: Yeah, well, I think it's become the [00:08:01] Speaker B: trend, one meal a day. [00:08:03] Speaker C: And I also like my meal to come right after the ballet. And, you know, that is true. There you go. [00:08:12] Speaker B: All right. So how long have you been with the evening? [00:08:14] Speaker A: Let's see. It'll be seven years, six years this August. [00:08:17] Speaker C: Okay. [00:08:18] Speaker A: So kind of my background before that, after getting out of school, I was in banking and finance. Spent a lot of time doing that. About 15ish years. [00:08:25] Speaker B: Is that straight out of Center Grove High School, or was it. [00:08:28] Speaker A: No, there was Iupy. Yeah, there was Iupy in between, which is now IU Indy. [00:08:32] Speaker B: Yeah, of course. [00:08:33] Speaker A: But then during those years, the irony of my story is I met the owners of apec. I was a banker of theirs. And here we are, you know, 15 years later, about 20 years later, about 15 years later now. And I'm helping them build the business out. I'm actually a director of business development there. And I'm chasing real estate developers, all the stuff I named earlier. And it's been a great ride. The real estate market right now, despite what is said, there's a lot of development happening. [00:09:00] Speaker C: Oh, yeah. [00:09:00] Speaker A: You can drive down any street in the state of Indiana, I think, and see something. There's one going on right across the street from your house over there. So. And the whole road down here is shut down because they're having to add. They're having to add more infrastructure to be able to make to, to account for all the stuff that they're doing here. [00:09:12] Speaker C: This one got stopped because the neighbor wants it to be a dog park. But it, once it's done in this next five to seven years of legal, it'll be a parking lot eventually. [00:09:20] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, yeah. A dog park does that. [00:09:23] Speaker C: Some idiots that are neighbors, one of them school administrator. [00:09:28] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:09:28] Speaker C: So she, she thought they stop this parking lot that's zoned industrial and have them make three 10 acre lot houses. And then an ex veterinarian who lives down there, she, she thinks it should be dog park. [00:09:41] Speaker A: Yeah, that won't happen. [00:09:42] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:09:43] Speaker A: Much money to be made. [00:09:44] Speaker C: No one's gonna have a 6 million dollar dog park. [00:09:46] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. Instead of an 800 million dollar industrial, that'll be something industrial. [00:09:51] Speaker C: It's gonna be a semi park industrial up. [00:09:52] Speaker A: Oh, is that what it is? You have compliment. [00:09:54] Speaker C: Okay, yeah, that's, that's what passed. And then okay, they, the county held them up and the permit expired and then it went in front of the board and they turned him down after he's invested millions of dollars because those two. Yeah, that's clowns. [00:10:07] Speaker A: Source kind of works sometimes. [00:10:09] Speaker C: Yeah, well, yeah, especially when you're newborn. [00:10:11] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, yeah. So Hancock. Yeah. Yeah. Right. [00:10:16] Speaker B: Yes. [00:10:18] Speaker A: I can't comment a whole lot because I got to get work where I can. But yes, it's, it's hard to get stuff approved, let's just say it that way. Difficult. Challenging. [00:10:25] Speaker C: It's easier to work with a fair board than it is a Hancock County Commission. But I'm not trying to build anything. [00:10:31] Speaker A: Say whatever you want. I can say what I want. [00:10:34] Speaker B: Matt is excluded from that part of the. [00:10:35] Speaker A: He did not. [00:10:36] Speaker C: Yeah, he did. Like Mike Gibson did when he's on the show. [00:10:40] Speaker A: I don't know who you're talking. Yeah, I don't know. I don't know. I have no idea. So anyway, then the transition happened. It was banking, finance. I spent a little time doing some other stuff in between. Dabbling my hands and some stuff in the community. Did some non profit work. And then in August of 2020 is when I joined APEC. It's been okay. It's been a great ride. [00:10:57] Speaker B: So you are a busy guy. [00:11:00] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:11:00] Speaker B: You got that gig. [00:11:01] Speaker A: Yep. [00:11:02] Speaker B: But then you've also got a successful podcast that's been going on for over 200 episodes. Yeah, I talk about that. [00:11:08] Speaker A: Yep. [00:11:09] Speaker B: You do. What'd you say down in Margaretville? [00:11:11] Speaker A: Bargersville town talks with Dax Norton, the town manager there. And Bargersville is another area just exploded. Yeah, Dax is doing a lot of great stuff down there. Shout out to Dax Norton if he ever catches this or anybody in Bargainville, actually. So, yeah, they're doing a lot of great things down there. The summer concerts here started, so. Bar up and coming area. [00:11:29] Speaker B: I just had the Baldwin yesterday. [00:11:31] Speaker C: Yeah, they got the YouTube down there. [00:11:32] Speaker A: I don't know, I. They might have. They might have the YouTube. I don't know if they're on YouTube. I don't know if they're on the YouTube or not. [00:11:38] Speaker C: I think they got the YouTube. [00:11:39] Speaker A: Yeah. And then I. Late last year, Chase. Chase Brock and I. Bruton and I. Sorry. In New Yorktown. He's Yorktown town manuals, and I do Yorktown civic chats with him. We talk about all the cool stuff happening in Yorktown, which. Stay tuned. Yorktown's gonna be one of those other towns. It's going to be doing some pretty cool stuff here in the next few years. And then. I live in Cumberland. Ben Lips and I do come up community chats, which. [00:12:05] Speaker C: Hello, Ben. [00:12:06] Speaker A: Yeah, good guy. He's a good dude. Yeah, he's a really good dude. I have to tell him I saw you then. Yeah, that'd be a good. I don't know if you get into politics on your podcast or not. [00:12:13] Speaker C: We're not allowed to. Yeah, we have a strict. Yeah, we hate all things politics. [00:12:19] Speaker A: I gathered that really quickly based off what you said about five months ago. Yeah, there you go. But. And then he and I do Cumberland community chats. And that one I've been doing the longest because I live in Cumberland. I live on the far east side. It's. It's all things Cumberland. Right. And there's a lot of good stuff getting ready to happen in Cumberland, too. [00:12:34] Speaker C: So you think McCord's Mill and C ever grow together? [00:12:38] Speaker A: It's too different. It's too different. What's the word I want to use? I don't want to say demographic. That's not the right way. It's just two different. Two different areas. [00:12:46] Speaker C: It's amazing now, though, in the last 20 years, you can't really tell where one stop. [00:12:50] Speaker A: Well, it's called the Mount Comfort Corridor now, actually, that's what it's called. It's the Mount Comfort Corridor. And that's everything from what's over there on Eastern, the Hancock Gateway, all the way over here to Cumberland. The Mount Comfort Corridor is an area that's really exploded in the last five to six Years, I think we say [00:13:05] Speaker C: thanks to a guy named Scott. [00:13:08] Speaker A: Scott. [00:13:09] Speaker C: Okay, Scott. You know, named Scott. [00:13:12] Speaker A: They named it Mount Copper Corridor. Well, good. Good for Scott, because that's what it is. I mean, it's. It's really cool to see it. It's all just kind of coming together. One stops. It really doesn't. One stop here, one goes there. They just kind of. I like. I like. [00:13:24] Speaker C: We're not having to stop anymore. We're getting circles. [00:13:26] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:13:26] Speaker C: And we need more circles. [00:13:27] Speaker A: Right? Yeah. Yep. [00:13:30] Speaker B: So do you have more hours in your day than this summer's? [00:13:33] Speaker D: Here, Crack open a cold Sunlight Cream Ale from Sun King or mix it up with WEMAC Osiris or a seasonal like Play Hard 4 indie tap room locations, or find it wherever you grab your beer. Sun King Indiana brewed Summer approved. [00:13:48] Speaker A: I wish I could actually, because I did leave off that I also am a co host of Circle City Success podcast, which earlier and alluded to. And I also do the editing, much like you, so I have a full appreciation for what you do. It's. This is a word to anybody wanting to start a podcast. Find someone, if you have a. In your budget that can do the editing for you. It's in your budget. Get somebody that can do the editing for you. Because it takes more time than I ever thought it would. [00:14:12] Speaker B: What do you use to edit? [00:14:13] Speaker A: So the software we use is Libsyn, and then I use Audacity. [00:14:18] Speaker C: You have the audacity to use that one? [00:14:21] Speaker A: All right. It is free. We don't have a budget, you know, [00:14:24] Speaker B: but also, I just Cap cut. [00:14:26] Speaker A: Yeah. Shout out to our sponsors, too, who have made it possible to be able to fund some of the stuff that we're doing. And the one thing that we like to do is whatever funds we have left over to you. We try to get back somewhere. So. [00:14:37] Speaker C: Wait a minute. Yeah, you can make money doing this? [00:14:40] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. We don't make. Let's. Let's rephrase it. We don't keep any of the money ourselves. [00:14:45] Speaker C: I'll rephrase it for you. Can you create revenue doing this? [00:14:47] Speaker A: We can't. Yeah. [00:14:49] Speaker C: Last month, this podcast made 37 cents. [00:14:54] Speaker A: I mean, look at all the liquor you got. I'm sure you get an alcohol sponsor on the site. I mean, you show bottles of liquor every time, right? [00:15:00] Speaker C: That's different. Podcast. [00:15:03] Speaker A: Yeah. But yes, you can. I mean, it's you. What I found is our sponsors, they. Everything. They want to know how many followers you got, how many people see your work, how many episodes, all the stuff and you put it out there. And, and if they support your mission, they're going to, they. They've been very generous to us. [00:15:18] Speaker B: Wow. [00:15:18] Speaker A: We've got a. We just got a new sponsor. We just landed a new sponsor. It's going to be announced tomorrow morning, actually, so stay tuned for that. And they were very generous to us as well. [00:15:29] Speaker C: Okay, guys. You watching the show? You know, we got tens, tens of people that watch the show on a regular basis. Let us know if you want to be a sponsor of this show. [00:15:37] Speaker A: Yeah. How many viewers do you think you get? I mean, on average? [00:15:40] Speaker B: Oh, realistically, we have. Okay. [00:15:43] Speaker C: Or follow. [00:15:43] Speaker A: Let's start with followers. [00:15:44] Speaker B: Yeah. Yeah. So YouTube subscribers, we have. I think we're at about 145 ish. [00:15:50] Speaker A: How many do you start vids? [00:15:52] Speaker B: It feels like seven years a minute. [00:15:54] Speaker A: Okay. [00:15:56] Speaker B: But you know, I mean, obviously, depending on the episode. Yeah, we've had an episode that's gotten over a thousand views. [00:16:02] Speaker A: Yep. [00:16:03] Speaker B: We have some that are, you know, a couple hundred, but, you know, the majority of them get views, you know, that are generally 30 to 40 to [00:16:10] Speaker C: 80 assistant listens on the audio podcast. And I calculated up, I think it's around 100. [00:16:17] Speaker A: Yes. [00:16:17] Speaker C: Subscribers now. [00:16:18] Speaker A: Yeah. So, yeah. [00:16:22] Speaker C: So, yeah, it's growing. [00:16:24] Speaker A: Yeah. You need to hire an archive person, probably, or, or just have him do it. That's what I. I mean, you know, you could find time to do it. That's how much time I have. But, you know, this is. If Greg and Rob see this, they're gonna laugh and they're probably gonna comment, say, no. He spends more time doing everything else. Not true. And some days. But my, my point is I invested. I invested a lot of time in growing the podcast. I mean, like on Instagram, for example, when I took it over, we had less than a thousand followers. Now we're over like 2500 in a couple few years. I mean, it just, it takes work, as everything does, but what you put into something, you get out of it. Right. And then we started. We started having people reach out, say, hey, do you. Have you ever thought about sponsorship or haven't sp. Like, no, but now that you say it, great idea. [00:17:08] Speaker C: Well, can. Can I say I want to pause and not forget somebody that has taken very good care care of us. [00:17:13] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:17:13] Speaker C: There is a keg in that refrigerator there provided by Sun King. [00:17:17] Speaker A: Okay. [00:17:17] Speaker C: Always make sure that we have Sun King beer available for anybody that comes on the show. [00:17:21] Speaker A: So that's a sponsored enemy. [00:17:22] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah, we, we have. We've just got paid in Calories. [00:17:26] Speaker A: Yeah, correct. But it's still a sponsor. [00:17:28] Speaker B: Right. [00:17:28] Speaker A: We'll do some in kind stuff too, you know, and people will say, hey, like for example, D and E Printing. Shout out to Jesse Mizella. D Printing. He provides the shirt that you see in all the pictures. If you've seen the pictures, he's the one that does the printing for all of them. So that's an in kind partnership. But it's, it's, it's still a, it's still a sponsorship because he's still offering a service or a product that we feature on on a podcast. Yeah. [00:17:49] Speaker C: So tell everybody what the podcast is about. [00:17:51] Speaker A: Yeah, so it's called again, Circle City Success Podcast. Our mission that we say is we, you know, follow along as we tap leaders in the community to share stories about success. Right. Or we are successful leaders in the community to share their stories. There's only one guaranteed question we ask all of our, all of our guests is, what is your definition of success? And believe it or not, we've had 233 episodes and we've had 233 different answers, but none of them involve money. None of them are monetary. It's all typically the theme goes to. It's about serving people, it's about relationships. Somewhere, somehow it all ties into your relationships, your service to the community, building a legacy. That's what success is. Right? What's your like? If someone's asked me, I'd say it's the impact I'm making on people, the service I'm doing in the community, and the legacy that I'm leaving for everybody else behind. Right. And that's what success is. It's been very humbling to me to see. You know, somebody told me 10 years ago that I'd be hosting a podcast and have some of the, some very influential people at the city on. That's. That's pretty funny, right? [00:18:52] Speaker C: Because I was. [00:18:52] Speaker A: I didn't know anybody. I didn't know the city. I didn't. I never get invited on a podcast. And now here we are, right. I'm hosting a Poly Drew and I actually just got to represent the podcast on Fox 59 News about two weeks ago. Now, shout out to Angela. They probably are on YouTube. Probably on YouTube, so they might see this. [00:19:10] Speaker C: Well, they got the YouTubes. [00:19:11] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, they got a lot of. When we went in that studio, I'm like, wow, this is what a movie. This is what it looks like behind the scenes. Yeah. So that's, that's, you know, it's, it's been cool to see the journey from where we were when I started and where Drew started it to where we are now. And it's. To be able to get sponsors is. [00:19:27] Speaker B: Is. [00:19:27] Speaker A: Is a pretty cool thing. [00:19:28] Speaker B: So now I noticed. [00:19:29] Speaker C: Hang on a second. The hair and makeup people got to come up. [00:19:31] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, yeah. We were not sponsored. [00:19:34] Speaker B: Yeah, I've noticed you've done several episodes, not all of them at the hanger. [00:19:39] Speaker A: Yep. They used to be our ven. They used to be our venue sponsors. So they were our venue sponsor for about two years. So shout out to Grong, Steve and Lindsay at the hangar and that place if you don't know about it. Even though they're all. Have you been there? Yeah. It's cool. So it used to be just the bikes that you would see downtown. They would just be the bikes. You go random, you get a whole bunch of friends together, drink a bunch of liquor, get drunk on a bike and return the bike. Now they have genius. [00:20:02] Speaker B: It's the pedal bike. [00:20:03] Speaker A: It's the pedal bikes. No, no, no. Pedal bikes. Right. And they founded it and then they. They. The space where they were actually leaving much like this. It was a large garage where they parked the bikes open the winter. Well then the. The brewery where they were renting. [00:20:20] Speaker B: Allison Brewery. [00:20:21] Speaker A: Yeah. And it became. It's right down by Lucasville Stadium. Cross streets or whatever they are. I don't know. But it doesn't matter if you. I'm sure people know the hangar if you now. But now that it's a. It's a bar. It's a venue space. You go there, you hang out. They have a lot of specials during the cold season. You go there, you get to. [00:20:36] Speaker B: Dude, they're Colts tail eight. [00:20:37] Speaker A: Yeah. It's terrific. It is. Yeah. So again, even though they're not our venue sponsor, they're still great friends of ours. They were both on the podcast as co. Co guests. Brian, Steven, Lindsay brothers who founded it. They have an incredible story. Don't know what episode number that was, but if you get a chance go check it out. It's pretty cool for them. They tell the whole story of how. How it came to life. And they are in a couple other cities I think still now too. So not as big as in India is the. [00:21:02] Speaker B: That's awesome. [00:21:02] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:21:03] Speaker B: So you used to shoot your show there. [00:21:05] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:21:06] Speaker B: Now we are used to Barrel bar [00:21:08] Speaker A: in India is not our venue spot. That's right. They like to say it's that the. It's the Indies only micro speakeasy. So it's down in the basement of the La Meridian Hotel, right downtown. It is cool. If you've never been and you like liquor, you should go check it out. There's only six. Six? They sell liquors? Yeah. Well, probably not. Well, you could probably sell it to them. [00:21:28] Speaker B: There we go. [00:21:29] Speaker A: There you go. Yeah, so it, it's. Their motto is six seats, one bartender. And I can't remember. That's terrible. But anyway, the point of that, my grand. The point is you rent it out as a venue and you. You can only get six guests. It's designed that way. [00:21:45] Speaker B: Right. [00:21:45] Speaker A: Because you have a small setting, food, drink, all of it's included when you go there and you just hang out. [00:21:51] Speaker B: Six seats, one bartender. [00:21:52] Speaker C: And I forget the rest because the drinks are so good you won't remember. [00:21:56] Speaker A: That's right. Six seats, 12 barrels, one bartender. And it is really cool place. So again, shout out to Ariel Reed on that one. While I'm doing it, I might as well shout out to all our sponsors. Steakhouse is one nice T W Design and build. That's another DNA printing. Already said Eclipse staffing and security and then Barrel bar Indie And I can't share it over here because it's getting. [00:22:18] Speaker B: Okay. [00:22:18] Speaker C: We're not going to put this out for other weeks. Oh, yeah. [00:22:21] Speaker A: Okay. So then let me, let me. Let me tell you that. So our newest sponsor is the law firm Robinson Farthing, Spondu and Williams. So they're. They're real estate and estate planning. So they're real estate on the business side, estate planning on the. On the personal side. [00:22:35] Speaker C: Attorneys. Morgan, Morgan, Morgan. [00:22:38] Speaker B: Well, maybe they're big time. [00:22:40] Speaker C: Yeah, they are a lot of Morgans in that thing. [00:22:42] Speaker A: Yeah, there is very big time. And they may do that. My buddy, Nick Spangle, I don't know if you his get Indiana. We don't get in. Yeah, but he, he also has Morgan and Morgan on his. [00:22:52] Speaker C: So it was Morgan, Morgan and Morgan? [00:22:54] Speaker A: No, no, it's Morgan and Morgan. But yeah. What I found is law firms are very interested in supporting stuff like this, you know. Yeah, yeah. [00:23:04] Speaker B: None. [00:23:06] Speaker A: So anyway, there's our sponsor Circle CSS podcast. Go out and check it out. Thanks for having me on your podcast. [00:23:12] Speaker B: And it's it. [00:23:12] Speaker A: It's on YouTube, Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn.

And we're not visual. We're audio only podcasts. So. [00:23:23] Speaker C: Yeah, well, we figured there's no Way we can ips. [00:23:27] Speaker B: Yeah, I. You know, when you look like this, you got to put it out there for all. [00:23:31] Speaker A: Well, well, you had this background. Yeah. All right. I mean, videos, podcasts are. Are way more successful overall. [00:23:38] Speaker C: So this is our tens of listeners. [00:23:40] Speaker A: I appreciate that. [00:23:41] Speaker B: When we first started the show, it was called Real Estate Makes us Drift. [00:23:44] Speaker A: Okay. [00:23:44] Speaker B: So we would talk about real estate stuff primarily. And you know, we had this. [00:23:49] Speaker C: That's our unseeable guest. [00:23:51] Speaker B: We had this awesome background. And so, you know, this just seemed like a great place. Place for that particular show. And then, you know, over time, we're like, you know, let's talk less about real estate, more about successful stuff. So, yeah, that's how we wound up at Indiana Success Happy Hour. And here we are. [00:24:07] Speaker A: Yeah. Well, we got to throw a little [00:24:08] Speaker B: credit to Jay Bear.
