10 years ago, roughly half of Indiana's college graduates remained in the state upon graduation. This number was even lower for STEM degrees, as many of these students found opportunities and offers in major tech hubs. It was in the face of this problem that TechPoint launched the Xtern program, a 10 week internship program that employs hundreds of college students in roles at local tech companies. In this Circuit mini-series,  X Years of Talent, TechPoint interviews the major players in Indiana's tech landscape from talent organizations to the people who were there at the beginning of Xtern. We look back at the past decade of Indiana's talent initiative and look towards the future of Indiana's tech workforce. In this episode, we sit down with Al Carroll, CEO of IndyHub. IndyHub is on a mission to grow and engage a community of young adults in Indianapolis. He talks about the mission alignment between IndyHub and TechPoint, how Indiana can be a destination for talent, reflects back on the early days of Xtern.

The Made in Indy podcast welcomes Blake Johnson; President at IndyHub & Indiana State Representative. Blake recounts his experiences growing up in Danville, Indiana, and how his family's history of community service in politics has guided the trajectory of his life. We learn about how the lessons his grandparents taught him, led to him being conscious of the “doors” he could open for others in any position he has held. We explore the importance of surrounding yourself with individuals that will hold you accountable, and how honest feedback can be used as a tool for organic self-growth. Later, we unpack the importance of having a sense of “belonging” & how that concept serves as the driving force behind IndyHub.  

We've had tons of conversations off the mic, and we were finally able to record one with the active, energizing, and fierce Ashley Miser. Ashley is the Vice President at IndyHub, a local nonprofit whose mission is to grow, engage and empower a community of 20-and 30-somethings who are meaningfully connected to Indy and invested in its future. We got Ashley's perspective on the culture of our city, young professionals' levels of connection, and the success of IndyVolved 15. In every conversation we have, I always learn something new about Indy. Always reminding me to never sleep on Naptown.

We sat down with Blake Johnson, President and CEO of IndyHub and Indianapolis City-County Councilor – yeah, he does both – and asked him about his journey to Indy, his transition for teaching to public service, and his views on how we transform Indianapolis as a city and as a people.

From drag queen breakfasts to mergers and acquisitions, Trevor Belden, lawyer and founder of Ball & Biscuit and Baby’s, shares the stories behind bringing his ideas to life. The Michigan native unknowingly sealed his fate at a young age by choosing a Purdue sweatshirt as a souvenir at Mackinaw Island. As destiny would have it, Trevor attended Purdue for his undergrad and the University of Michigan for a law degree. Trevor believes that there are rarely people that can create a career out of a topic that they’re passionate about. Rather, normal people are excited about being great, creative, and efficient at skills that can change the community. Therefore, he’s used his legal background in mergers and acquisitions at Faegre Drinker Biddle & Reatch to pursue other ventures, including helping start IndyHub as a member of the Young Professionals of Central Indiana and opening Ball & Biscuit and Baby’s. Tune in to learn about how Ball & Biscuit was originally going to open in tandem with IndyHub, the musical history behind the name Ball & Biscuit, about his new family-friendly-like-a-Disney-movie-joke venture Baby’s, and how he balances it all.
