The Flora Fire remains one of the most disturbing and unsolved arson cases in Indiana, yet it has never received the same attention as the Delphi Murders—even though it happened just months earlier in the same county. In 2016, a fire tore through a home in Flora, Indiana, killing four young sisters—Keyana, Keyara, Kerrielle, and Kionnie. Initially ruled an accident, the case took a shocking turn when officials reversed their findings, declaring it arson. But missteps in the investigation, key officials abruptly resigning, and a lack of transparency from law enforcement have fueled suspicions of a cover-up. Why has no one been arrested for this horrific crime? And why does it seem like the case was quietly pushed aside while Delphi dominated headlines? For nearly seven years, the burned remains of the home stood as a haunting reminder of this unsolved crime, before finally being demolished in 2023. The investigation has been riddled with inconsistencies, from the changing story about the presence of accelerants to crucial evidence reportedly going missing. Despite law enforcement's claims that the case remains “active,” there have been no public updates, no suspects, and no arrests. Meanwhile, family members continue to fight for answers, holding annual memorials and keeping the pressure on investigators to deliver justice for the Flora Four. So why does the Flora Fire remain unsolved, and could it still be solved today? With advancements in forensic fire investigations, the possibility of a new witness coming forward, or even a guilty conscience breaking under pressure, there is still hope for justice. But as the years pass, many are left wondering—was this case mishandled from the start, or was there a deliberate effort to bury the truth? Join us as we take a deep dive into the evidence, the unanswered questions, and the fight to make sure Flora is never forgotten.

In this inspiring episode of Leaders of Today: Teens to Titans, Lorraine sits down with Keyana Cellucci, entrepreneur and podcast host of Trust Me, to explore the transformative power of self-discovery, asking for help, and redefining leadership. Keyana shares her personal journey from a middle child who often overlooked her own needs to a leader who empowers others to embrace self-discipline, inner strength, and the courage to seek help. Together, Lorraine and Keyana discuss the significance of reshaping leadership perceptions in schools, the power of delegation, and the importance of facing challenges head-on. In this episode, you'll learn about: 1. Keyana's Journey of Self-Discovery: How her teenage years were shaped by the question, “Who do I want to become?” The impact of being a middle child and the lessons she wished she had learned about asking for help earlier in life. 2. Shifting Leadership Perceptions in Schools: The need to redefine leadership beyond academic and athletic achievements to include delegation, humility, and teamwork. Why parents and educators should model vulnerability and normalize seeking help. 3. The Role of Delegation in Leadership: Keyana's experience moving from Pennsylvania to Maine and how it taught her to trust others with responsibilities. How delegation helped her business flourish and broadened her leadership perspective. 4. Embracing an Unconventional Leadership Path: Keyana's decision to follow her instincts rather than conventional routes, and how this led to her becoming a leader by example. Lorraine's affirmation that leadership is about making intentional, goal-aligned choices. 5. Self-Discipline as a Key to Success: Why showing up for yourself, even on hard days, is essential for growth and leadership. The difference between self-discipline and fluctuating motivation. 6. Inner Strength and Growth: Keyana's advice to teenagers: Everything you need is already within you—embrace setbacks as opportunities for growth. The powerful analogy of a buffalo running toward challenges to illustrate resilience. 7. Turning Hardships into Superpowers: How overcoming struggles can become a defining strength. Keyana's personal story of resilience and how it fuels her passion to help others. Key Takeaways: Asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness. Leadership is more than a title—it's about behavior, trust, and collaboration. Self-discipline is the foundation for achieving success and navigating challenges. Facing challenges directly can lead to quicker resolutions and greater personal growth.

Episode show notes:Welcome to another episode of Just Checking In! Today our guest is Jennie Blumenthal, bestselling author of Corporate Rehab, a book focused on a topic that is likely very relevant to many of our listeners: burnout and the “hustle culture” that is so pervasive in our industry today. Jennie spent many years as a top executive working with Fortune 500 companies, traveling frequently, and being away from her family. But one day, she had the realization that maybe she wasn't as happy as she thought she was. This expert today joins us to talk about the toxic side of hustle culture, the definition of burnout, the behind-the-scenes of her book, and how she became a coach executive that helps companies to go through a corporate rehab and start thriving. Join technology comms pros Becky Buckman and Keyana Corliss as they cut to the heart of today's tech-news cycle and the general craziness that is high-tech corporate communications right now. With a short, not-too-serious take on the industry - with plenty of humor and irony thrown in - they'll bring you the best in the biz, across comms and media together, for one-of-a-kind insights and perspectives you won't hear anywhere else!Jump straight into:01:05 - Keyana's connection to Jennie - “When I talked to Jenny for the first time, it was like she peered into my soul.”02:32 - Women in tech & burnout - “In light of some of the things we've seen in the news over the last, like six months, even week about really prominent women in our industry in tech, taking a step back.”07:58 - For Fortune 500 execute to burnout - “The longer I had to sit in the quiet of how exactly did I get here and how when I was building this life, that's everything we're taught to go after and women can be anything. How did I wind up in a place where I felt so empty? and I felt like. This wasn't what I wanted”10:04 - The toxic side of hustle culture - “We get caught in this, ‘I have to keep going', ‘I have to go even faster', and then our relaxation time doesn't actually refuel us. It's just another way of overstimulation.”12:13 - What's burnout? - “We're all part of. So it's not just you aren't doing it right and if you just run faster, you'll outrun your burnout. It's something that's increasing in the pace within our own culture.”15:00 - Women burnout stories - “And as I started talking to other women and they started contributing their stories, I was shocked at how much we'll tolerate before, we'll actually seek help or try to find a solution.” 18:10 - Intro to hustle culture research - “ It really was this constant performance and productivity mentality, that I noticed across, and that was the first piece. The second really was really got what got me to this whole concept of going from survival into thriving, and that is survival mentality is really based on the scarcity mentality.” 23:11 - Corporate rehab - “It's about, is understanding what are the patterns and the mindsets and the behaviors that you're wired for or that you've picked up over time, might have served you earlier in your career. That it's time to reevaluate and sit down so that you can actually thrive.”30:03 - Burnout in comms departments - “We are not surgeons, no one dies. But there is still a lot of pressure, I think, in terms of the fact that our job does really, influence people's lives in a respect and there's a lot to that.”34:30 - The hardest part of healing - “So much of what I would have said I missed were things that I found through my own healing journey, we're actually unhealthy attachments.”Episode resources:Jennie Blumenthal's...

Welcome to another episode of Just Checking In. Today our guest is Joe Williams, a tech writer, formerly of Bloomberg, Business Insider, and, most recently, Protocol. But with Protocol's shutdown, Joe had time for us at JCI and offered us an interesting perspective on the state of the media today, including insights about how he likes to cover complicated, B2B technology stories. . This expert in covering wonky tech issues joins the conversation in this episode to talk about the landscape of media business models, the do's and don'ts of covering technology issues, and how to craft a great story. Plus, he's got an interesting viewpoint on Elon's Twitter. Join technology comms pros Becky Buckman and Keyana Corliss as they cut to the heart of today's tech-news cycle and the general craziness that is high-tech corporate communications right now.

And frankly, I think kind of insulting to the reader”26:23 - The biggest tech comms PR turnoffs - “Companies now I think, always fear that reporters are always digging for something, which is funny to me cuz that's our job and that's what we should be doing.” 28:47 - Joe's refreshing perspective regarding Twitter - “It's a self-fulfilling cycle. He says something, we write about it, and he says something else. We write about it. There has to be a breaking point that it's, you know, but I don't know what happens, besides him shutting down the website.” Episode resources:Joe Williams's Twitter and LinkedInThank you for listening to Just Checking In by Battery Ventures.

TV is so quick and snappy. So like, I always think like Keyana, when you would pitch me, it would be. Three sentences max, maybe just like a few keywords. And it was so great because I was like, oooh, I'm intrigued.”21:23 - What working live TV is like - “They had Stewart Butterfield on a live interview happening on tv, and Jared Leto decided to walk up and interrupt our live interview just to say hi to Mr. Stewart Butterfield because he was an investor and wanted to say hi.”Episode resources:Laura Bachelor Twitter and Linkedin

Episode show notes:Given the current market volatility, all tech companies are, in some sense, in unchartered waters–and comms departments are no exception.

It's about openness.”35:34 - The power of comms - “I think like, you know, Brian Chesky kind of did this with Airbnb right after the pandemic started. Everyone praised that. I think certainly the messaging has been good on those kinds of notes.”45:58 - The media landscape in the tech industry - “It's intentional to like create those divisions because you're able to separate the different tribes of this world and now there's like a media tribe and that's counterbalanced with like this tech tribe.”48:53 - New York vs. San Francisco - “There's something very specific about the media industry in New York and their feelings toward this disruptive industry that impacts them specifically.”Episode resources:Sean Garrett's Twitter and LinkedinMixing BoardThank you for listening to Just Checking In by Battery Ventures.

Over well, or discussions over what I wanted to do and how I would go about it.”14:15 - The real challenge in writing books about Amazon: The case of AWS - “While the chapters are kind of categories, I'm also trying to tell a story.”17:10 - Finding the common thread: Telling a time-coherent story in the ever-changing world of Amazon and Bezos - “The company almost needs to be inventive because, if you don't, you eventually slow down.”18:15 - The Day 1 mentality: Amazon's working culture - “Day one is the...

What is more rewarding? Is it a career that can sustain you financially or a career that gives you peace of mind?

Because if we can't imagine this world, we can't create it.” – Sean Dague, Citizens Climate Lobby.   As part of the Centering Practice, Sean leads us through a thought experiment about envisioning a world without fossil fuels. He invites us to engage each one of our senses to see, smell, hear, and feel the world in a new way.    “I would pick up on these feeling of melancholy, because their stories would always end up with, ‘But that's not how we do it anymore, or what we can't go there anymore, or simply just a lot has changed since then.'” –Keyana Pardilla   Growing up in the Penobscot Nation, otherwise known as Indian Island, a small island located in Old Town Maine, Keyana speaks with elders as she seeks to find what was lost and bring this awareness to younger people.    “But we are embedded In a world of relatives, relatives, not natural resources.” –Robin Wall Kimmerer In talking about gratitude, Kimmerer shares a way to connect with all living things that is built on relationships, love, and care. She invites us to expand our spiritual imaginations.    “…the process of feeling the pain, the process of feeling the anxiety, the process of feeling the grief, the process of feeling the loneliness, is part of our connectivity to life, where the natural world is really amplifying the signal so that we once again feel our connection to the rest of life…” –Sherri Mitchell The title of this episode, What is Wrong with Me? comes from an observation Mitchell made during the beginning of the COVID-19 Pandemic. In a society that seeks to alleviate negative feelings, she invites us to consider how these strong emotions of pain, grief, and loneliness may be echoes of distress from the natural world.   Next Steps for Engaged Hope Share this conversation with someone who you think will appreciate it.

The first season of Just Checking In concludes with a can't miss interview focused on one of the biggest technology and comms stories of the year–Peloton. Jessica Kleiman, Peloton's SVP of global communications, talks about her career arc, the challenges and opportunities she's faced over the last year and the company's much-heralded response to a Peloton-related storyline in the recent “Sex and the City” reboot. Jessica has plenty of lessons and takeaways for other corporate comms professionals, including some related to Peloton's recent success leveraging its dedicated community of members to serve as the voice of the brand. Join in and ride with us to the end of this amazing first season! Join technology comms pros Becky Buckman and Keyana Corliss as they cut to the heart of today's tech-news cycle and the general craziness that is high-tech corporate communications right now. With a short, not-too-serious take on the industry - with plenty of humor and irony thrown in - they'll bring you the best in the biz, across comms and media together, for one-of-a-kind insights and perspectives you won't hear anywhere else! Jump straight into: (03:59) - From Instagram to Peloton: Introducing Jessica Kleiman - “As communications professionals, I think we're naturally networkers and connectors.” (08:36) - Writing a book while being on maternity leave - “We split up the chapters and while my daughter Emma was napping, I wrote.” (10:26) - This is how Peloton is relying on their community of users to tell their story - “It feels authentic because it is authentic, because if we did anything that didn't feel authentic, we would hear about it from our members immediately.” (16:49) - How is Peloton dealing with the brand being continuously relevant? - “I almost feel like we have lovers and we have haters and there's not a whole lot in between. That makes for a great headline because the lovers are going to click on it and the haters are going to click on it.” (19:47) - Lessons and takeaways for corp comms professionals - “People think that it's a less sexy area of communications, and the fact is that is not only super critical, but it really helps you develop the voice of the company internally and create and foster culture.” (25:41) - Discussing the greatest PR response of all time and how Ryan Reynolds jumped in - “Just as background, I have to clarify, as I'm sure you've read, that the And Just Like That scene was not a product placement.” Episode resources: Follow Jessica Kleiman on https://twitter.com/jessicakleiman?lang=en (Twitter), https://www.instagram.com/jessicakleiman/?hl=en (Instagram) and https://www.linkedin.com/in/jessica-kleiman-4a22644/ (Linkedin) https://www.onepeloton.com/ (Peloton) Thank you for listening to Just Checking In by Battery Ventures.

Unicorns and dragons? A criminal trial? Eluding death? It sounds like we might be talking about Game Of Thrones in this episode, but actually we're discussing a recent event that shook Silicon Valley to its core. Rachel Lerman was one of the people on the front lines covering the landmark Theranos/Elizabeth Holmes trial over the past few months. Rachel is a tech reporter at the Washington Post and previously worked for other publications including the AP and the Seattle Times. Listen in and discover what it was like to be in the hallways of federal court in San Jose during this trial–and, separately, how The Washington Post continues to grow its technology team and focus on “accountability journalism.” Join technology comms pros Becky Buckman and Keyana Corliss as they cut to the heart of today's tech-news cycle and the general craziness that is high-tech corporate communications right now. With a short, not-too-serious take on the industry - with plenty of humor and irony thrown in - they'll bring you the best in the biz, across comms and media together, for one-of-a-kind insights and perspectives you won't hear anywhere else! Jump straight into: (04:48) - Rachel's 3AM trip to have a place in the San Jose Federal Courthouse - “It wasn't just me and other reporters, but also spectators because people have heard so much about her, seen the documentary or read the book, so they wanted to come and see it for themselves. (08:34) - Rachel's pre-trial research and involvement in the Theranos case - “It makes it almost easier to see the case through fresh eyes because you're seeing the evidence that they're presenting to the jury as new evidence.” (10:59) - The moment that Elizabeth Holmes was called to the stand - “It's the only voice I've ever heard her talk in, including in the hallways of the courtroom house, because it was a very, very small, tight courtroom. So truly I have no idea if it's her real voice.” (16:29) - Rachel's internal debate to decide what questions to ask - “The only time I really tried to ask her questions was when she was entering or leaving the courthouse on big days, like on the verdict day, we tried to call out questions to her, which she didn't answer.” (18:31) - Will this be a major highlight in Rachel's reporting career? - “This is probably one of the more high profile people that I've covered. Of course I've covered tech CEOs and things like that, but she is a very controversial and battled figure.” (19:35) - Were Elizabeth Holmes' allegations against “Sunny” Balwani an effective move for her defense? - “I expected since they brought it up, maybe they would bring on the psychologist or psychiatrist to kind of back that up or maybe they would bring it up in their closing arguments. They didn't do that.” (21:17) - The Washington Post: How is it doing? How is it stacking up against the competition? - “They're putting a real focus on accountability journalism, so they want to hold companies accountable. They want to investigate what's going on and shed light on these historically very opaque institutions.” Episode resources: Rachel Lerman's https://twitter.com/rachelerman/with_replies (Twitter) and https://www.linkedin.com/in/rachel-lerman-15bb5732/ (Linkedin) https://www.washingtonpost.com/people/rachel-lerman/ (Rachel Lerman - The Washington Post) https://www.amazon.com.mx/Bad-Blood-Secrets-Silicon-Startup/dp/152473165X (Bad Blood: Secrets and Lies in a Silicon Valley Startup)Thank you for listening to Just Checking In by Battery Ventures.

Despite what many may think, the field of public relations isn't always straightforward.. Rather it's an art that demands strategic thinking, a deep sense of empathy, and good relationships built over time. And when it comes to PR in the tech industry, things get even more complicated–and some professionals today, anxious to secure coverage in an increasingly crowded and competitive market, are making blunders that are hurting their companies' reputations. In this episode, our guest Nairi Hourdajian, VP Communications, Content and Community Marketing at Figma shares insights on what it takes for a company to build an effective strategy in the PR world, delving into the best and the worst practices she's seeing and the current state of media covering tech startups. Don't miss this episode if you're curious about public (and human) relationships in this new era of information! Join technology comms pros Becky Buckman and Keyana Corliss as they cut to the heart of today's tech-news cycle and the general craziness that is high-tech corporate communications right now. With a short, not-too-serious take on the industry - with plenty of humor and irony thrown in - they'll bring you the best in the biz, across comms and media together, for one-of-a-kind insights and perspectives you won't hear anywhere else! Jump straight into: (01:42) - Introducing Nairi Hourdajian - “We have a great interview today with Nairi Hourdajian, who is a longtime friend of mine. She's now running comms at Figma, which is a super hot design startup.”  (04:02) - Elizabeth Holmes news - “One other thing we have to talk about before we jump into it is Elizabeth Holmes fake it till you make it culture.”  (06:27) - Becky's tech comms branding predictions for 2022 - “ I do think storytelling is going to become more important.”  (10:42) - PR malpractices: Why should communications professionals care about them? - “People don't realize there's actually expertise, real nuance, and detail to doing this work well.” (13:03) - Understanding PR as human relations: Best and worst practices when building trust with executives and reporters. - “If you think about almost any other practice or field, you would never go in cold to make strategic asks like ‘Hey Amazon, I'm ready to sell my company, are you interested?' Would you ever do that cold?”. (19:06) - Discussing the value of earned media and backlash against big tech companies - “There is a credibility that earned media brings that owned content never will. But owned content also is important. Yes. It's important to tell your own story.” (24:28) - What does it mean to do a good job and have a smart strategy in the PR world? - “Forming these relationships, and educating executives and investors is key, because I think they especially understand that this market is pretty special and probably won't last forever.” (25:55) - Nairi's collaboration with All Raise to improve the number of female founders and leaders - “A group of women got together and started formulating an operational plan to launch initiatives that could help move the ball forward for female founders and funders and through a stroke of luck that included the GP at my firm.” Episode resources: Find Nairi Houdajian's on https://twitter.com/nairihourdaj (Twitter) and https://www.linkedin.com/in/nairi-tashjian-hourdajian-37601411/ (Linkedin) https://www.figma.com/ (Figma) https://www.allraise.org/ (All Raise) Thank you for listening to Just Checking In by Battery Ventures.

You asked - we listened. This week, Drewby and Yergy venture back to the state of Indiana to discuss the mystery surrounding the deaths of sisters Kionnie, Kerriele, Keyara and Keyana, also known as "The Flora Four" who died in a house fire that some speculate wasn't an accident. We also touch on the phenomena of "Missing White Woman Syndrome" and how it may apply to the Flora Fire case. We review the tragic deaths of cousins Lyric Cook and Elizabeth Collins, and the striking similarities between their case and the case of Abby Williams and Liberty German. Finally, we close this episode with an update Brian Chadwell. Police are offering a reward of up to $5,000 for information that leads to an arrest.
