Motivation Chaser | Scott Stulen, Philbrook Museum of Art 09/11/2020

Motivation Chaser | Scott Stulen, Philbrook Museum of Art is the CEO and President of in Tulsa, Oklahoma. He’s also an artist, curator, programmer and DJ. Previously he was the first at the Indianapolis Museum of Art, and Director of the McKnight Artist Fellowship for Photographers and Project Director of at the . On our show today, we find out what Scott reads, watches, and listens to for inspiration. About PhilbrookVilla Philbrook was a child of the Twenties. World War I was over. Women could vote. It was a time of flappers, rumble seats, prohibition, bootleggers and five-cent Cokes. More than that, in Tulsa the Twenties smelled of oil and resounded with money. In 1926 Edward Buehler Delk (1885–1956), a Kansas City architect, was hired to design an Italian Renaissance villa on 25 acres by oilman Waite Phillips. Delk skillfully interpreted Renaissance styles in the most fashionable manner of the day and was hired in a burst of commissions with three major projects at once: Villa Philbrook, Villa Philmonte and the Philtower office building. This impressive home was completed in 1927. Friends say that the Phillipses built the villa as a place where their two children could entertain friends. When they moved in, daughter Helen was sixteen, son Elliott was ten. In 1938 Waite Phillips surprised Tulsans with the announcement of his gift of the 72-room mansion and surrounding 23 acres of grounds as an art center for the city of Tulsa. The vision first made possible by Waite and Genevieve Phillips is now one of America’s finest art museums. The integrity of the original residence remains intact while later additions to the facility and gardens complete this classic Tulsa attraction. Serving over 160,000 visitors annually, Philbrook has become a poignant testimony to Tulsa’s past while building a shining example of this city’s bright future. What began as an unprecedented gift to the community of Tulsa by the Phillips family continues today through the generosity of Philbrook Members and donors.

Episode 173: The End of an Era 07/01/2020

Episode 173: The End of an Era “Do you want to start a podcast?” Over three years ago Fabian sent this text message to Jared. During the next 365 days, their new hobby quickly evolved from discussing their favorite bourbon and beer to telling the stories of people who are shaping Indianapolis. The change directed DRNK CLTR’s new mission: To inspire and strengthen communities through storytelling. Over the last three years, the Drink Culture Podcast has grown to become a premier local podcast with 160,000+ lifetime downloads, forty-seven episodes with 1,000+ downloads, many wonderful listeners who were supportive of our every venture, live shows, and the addition of three vowels and seven incredible team members: Hayley, Jeff, Michelle, Cole, and Tim. During this time, we received support from our community, our families, complete strangers, local leaders, Patrons, and local businesses. We are still moved by each gesture of support, so thank you. Your encouraging words, willingness to take a chance on us, and passion for our mission allowed us to produce 170+ consecutive weekly episodes. Thank you, thank you, thank you. We are grateful for our community’s support and are proud of what we’ve accomplished, but it’s time for this chapter in our lives to come to a close. Not because we don’t believe in our mission and won’t carry it with us in every action, every day. But, because our lives are evolving. We’ve had babies, graduated college, changed jobs, built new relationships, and more during the last three years. We can’t keep up the side hustle forever. Drink Culture is ending. It’s tough. But, the growth and strength of the people who believe in our community will never end. Go explore! Be a champion! Share the message in the city we’ve all built together. Drink Culture. Know Your City. We’re Out. Drink Culture Newsletter: Drink Culture Patreon: Drink Culture Instagram: Drink Culture Facebook: Drink Culture YouTube: /episode/index/show/drnkcltr/id/15034934

Episode 172: Nomad Rides, Daniel Jones & Michael McHugh 06/24/2020

Episode 172: Nomad Rides, Daniel Jones & Michael McHugh What if an Uber ride only cost $5.50? Now it can with Nomad Rides. Daniel Jones and Michael McHugh join us to share about Nomad Rides. A story that ranges from dressing up as cows to attending the startup accelerator Y-Combinator. Daniel and Michael were always freelancing as students at IU and as roommates often found themselves staying up late talking through new business ideas. The first idea that came to fruition was an app for students to connect with freelancers. When it did not take off, they began looking for business ideas that would create more engaged customers. One of which was a milk delivery service named the Milk Mooovers. Another, a commission-free rideshare model that would differentiate them from other rideshare companies. When Nomad Rides (at that time, B-Town Rides) launched, they quickly realized they were successfully meeting a huge need for IU students. Daniel and Michael took Nomad Rides full-time in February of 2019, and after a wildly successful Little 500 weekend, they reached out to contacts for funding that could help in legitimizing the business. A two-sentence email to Y-Combinator Partner Michael Seibel landed them acceptance into the well-known incubator program. Now, they spend time traveling the midwest to launch Nomad Rides in Big 10 college towns. Tune in to learn: what it is like to attend a start-up accelerator in Silicon Valley, how Daniel and Michael plan on making Nomad Rides a top rideshare brand, and how they have created a commission-free rideshare business that is sustainable for its stakeholders.

The two were not only able to renovate the house but also discovered a passion for home renovation. They were bitten by the renovation bug and Two Chicks and a Hammer was born. Mina and Karen would work on 2-3 houses a year when they had downtime between their day jobs as a lawyer and waitress. Two Chicks and a Hammer now focuses on renovating homes in Fountain Square, Bates Hendricks, and the surrounding areas. Throughout their work in Indianapolis, Two Chicks and a Hammer found that they could do well by doing good in their neighborhood!

Episode 164: Dr. Manasa Mantravadi, Ahimsa 04/22/2020

Episode 164: Dr. Manasa Mantravadi, Ahimsa Do you remember your favorite plastic dinnerware set as a kid with the movie character you most admired painted beneath your mac and cheese? What we did not know then about your beloved Mickey Mouse is how the chemicals in plastic are harmful to children. That’s the problem that Dr. Manasa Mantravadi is solving with Ahimsa. The story of Ahimsa begins in a pediatrician moms' group chat when someone questioned what to do about the American Academy of Pediatrics’ report warning of the dangers of plastic. In the report, the AAP recommended swapping out plastic for stainless steel whenever possible. The traditional dinnerware for children in India is stainless steel, which Manasa’s mom reminded her of when she replaced all of Manasa’s twin’s plasticware with stainless steel during a visit. Manasa began searching for stainless steel sets online and found that they were boring, especially for kids. Manasa’s passion for children’s health runs deep as she is first and foremost a Pediatrician. Therefore, she was inspired to embark on the journey of starting Ahimsa - colorful stainless steel dinnerware sets for children. Now with a team of five, Ahimsa has sold over 1,400 sets in over 32 states. Tune in to learn about why plastic is so prevalent in the U.S. and not in countries like India, the process of finding a manufacturer for stainless steel dinnerware, and how Manasa has managed a successful side hustle while working as a pediatrician.

Episode 163: Louise Henderson and Daniel Arthur Jacobson, KanKan Cinema and Brasserie 04/15/2020

Episode 163: Louise Henderson and Daniel Arthur Jacobson, KanKan Cinema and Brasserie Until now, the only place to watch independent films year-round was at the mall. On this week’s episode, we learn the story of the KanKan, Indianapolis’ first arthouse cinema, from Executive Director Louise Henderson and Director of Programing Daniel Arthur Jacobson. Louise’s love of film began while she was dating her husband. They were not of age to drink, so they spent many evenings at the theater. Meanwhile, Daniel grew up passionate about producing movies and videos, which steered his career away from teaching math and towards film. The idea for Indianapolis’ first arthouse cinema began with Daniel and his friends starting the pop-up cinema Public House supported by Big Car Collaborative. At the time, Tom and Ed Battista were both on Big Car Collaborative’s board and happened to be looking for property to host independent local films. When they met at a board meeting, they recognized that they had the right resources and people to start the KanKan. Especially with Louise’s extensive background in film festival execution, non-profit leadership, and production experience that included an Oscar short-listed live action short, WINTER NIGHT. Press play as Louise and Daniel share how the KanKan has operated online while its opening week was shut down due to mandatory quarantining, how arthouse cinemas are essential for providing a diverse perspective in film for communities, and how the KanKan is integrating into the Windsor Park neighborhood. Drink deep of the culture that surrounds you this week with Louise Henderson and Daniel Arthur Jacobson of the KanKan. Learn about the ! What we tasted From Indiana City Brewing Co.
