  EP. 52 - Matt Flood

  Sep 17, 202645 min

  This week on Upstate Impact, we sit down with Matt Flood, founder of TLDR Syracuse, the local newsletter keeping you plugged into everything happening around Syracuse and CNY. We talk about Matt’s background as an engineer, his time at TCGplayer, his current role at Forbes, and how those experiences helped shape TLDR Syracuse. We also get into what it’s like getting TLDR off the ground while balancing a full time career, being a husband and father, and his bigger vision of keeping more advertising dollars local while helping Syracuse businesses reach the people in their own community. Great conversation about building something local and where Matt hopes to take it.

  This week, we sit down with Nick Riley of High Minded Humboldt to talk about his journey out to Humboldt County, becoming immersed in the cannabis industry, and watching it evolve from the underground days to legalization and where it stands today.

  Jovan Miller joins the Upstate Impact Podcast to share his journey from growing up in Syracuse as a multi-sport athlete to becoming a two-time All-American, two-time National Champion at Syracuse University, and playing professional lacrosse.
