  Philanthropist Marianne Glick on Reinvention, Rebellion & What’s Next

  Sep 27, 202648 minS7

  Marianne Glick is an artist, philanthropist, community leader, and longtime champion for women — but this conversation goes way beyond the résumé. We talk about the rebellious little girl she was, the trouble she got into along the way, her husbands, finding art in her late 50s, what brings her joy now, and why she believes that as long as you’re alive, you’re not done. Her mission is “to ignite, inspire, and direct energy for positive action,” and you can feel that throughout this conversation. It’s funny, thoughtful, a little unexpected — and she ends with a teaser about Sylvester Stallone. “As long as you’re alive, you’re not done,” - Marianne Glick More about Marianne: Marianne Glick - Glick Philanthropies Shop Marianne Glick: Shop Art | Glick Art

  Singer Jennie DeVoe: Success on Her Own Terms

  Sep 1, 202659 minS7

  Jennie DeVoe is a singer-songwriter, recording artist and performer who has built a loyal following through a career filled with music, storytelling and connection. In this episode of Badassery Life , Jennie talks about growing up painfully shy, having one close friend and never quite knowing where she fit — and how she eventually found a place where she felt completely at home: on stage. We talk about where her songs come from, the words and moments she notices that other people miss, what goes into preparing for a show, and why making people feel something has always mattered so much to her. There’s also the story of the day Jennie was supposed to sing at Tina’s wedding… until Bonnie Raitt’s people called. It’s a funny, thoughtful and honest conversation about music, belonging, creativity, connection and figuring out what matters most. Home | Jennie DeVoe | jenniedevoe.com

  Amy Pauszek: A Badass Producer Who Tells Stories That Matter

  Jul 19, 202645 minS7

  Amy Pauszek is an Emmy-winning producer, award-winning documentary filmmaker and storyteller who believes everyone has a story—and that some stories have the power to change lives. Throughout her career, Amy has dedicated herself to telling stories that matter. From documentaries that have screened on PBS and at film festivals around the world to award-winning films that have raised awareness and inspired action, her work is driven by one simple belief: when someone trusts you with their story, you have the opportunity to make a difference. In this episode, we get to know the woman behind the camera. Amy brought her Emmy and Telly Awards (and explained the Telly in her best British accent!), but it was the stories behind the awards that made this conversation unforgettable. Amy opens up about the personal losses that changed her life, why she believes everyone has a "superpower," and how those experiences continue to shape both her perspective and the stories she chooses to tell. We also talk about Sylvia , Amy's newest documentary premiering at Heartland Film's Indy Shorts Festival, and why she's passionate about giving a voice to stories that deserve to be told.

  The Badasses Behind The Sports Bra Indy: Eve Keller and Jenni White

  Jul 9, 202656 minS7

  In this episode of Badassery Life , Kelly sits down with Eve Keller and Jenni White. They are partners in life and partners in business -- they're the team bringing The Sports Bra Indy to downtown Indianapolis. The Sports Bra is the country's first sports bar concept dedicated to women's sports. How badass is that!?? But this conversation is about so much more than opening a restaurant. The three talk about what it takes to have comfortable careers yet take a leap of faith to build something they believe their city needs. Kelly dives into how the couple met (hint: it had to do with Vagina Monologues), their fears and challenges of opening a new business, chasing a big dream together, and embracing what Jenni calls "delusional audacity." They're creative, thoughtful, passionate sports fans with a vision of creating more than a place to watch a game. They hope The Sports Bra Indy becomes a welcoming gathering place where community, connection, and women's sports are all worth celebrating - and Badassery Life is all IN! It's a conversation about entrepreneurship, partnership, belonging, and believing in an idea before everyone else does. We think you'll walk away rooting for Eve and Jenni—and maybe feeling inspired to chase your own big idea. Oh, and Kelly threw out the idea of a podcast LIVE when the Sports Bra Indy opens - you'll have to follow @Badassery_Life and @TheSportsBraIndy for more.

  Jun 28, 202642 minS7

  What happens when you stop waiting for community—and decide to build it yourself? In this episode of Badassery Life , Kelly Young and Tina McIntosh sit down with Bo Turner, founder of FIND , an Indianapolis-based company creating in-person social experiences, speed dating events, and community gatherings designed to help people make genuine human connections. Whether you're single, looking to expand your circle, or simply craving more authentic connection, this conversation is a reminder that sometimes the community you're searching for is the one you're meant to create. Growing up as an Asian adoptee in Indiana, Bo learned early how to navigate questions of identity, independence, and belonging. Those experiences, combined with a love of travel and curiosity about how people connect around the world, ultimately inspired her to create FIND—a community that's helping combat swipe fatigue and bring people together in real life. Together, we explore: Bo's journey as an entrepreneur and community builder The inspiration behind FIND and why in-person connection matters Growing up as an Asian adoptee in Indiana The power of chosen family and meaningful friendships Why solo travel shaped her perspective Creating spaces where strangers become friends Bo Turner | LinkedIn
