Typically with this podcast, we focus on leaders and great mentors in Kansas City, or formerly of this community. Well, this week we're going outside of the area, but it's someone with ties here. Of sorts.This week we're joined by Dave Heller, the owner of the Royals' high-A affiliate, the Quad Cities River Bandits. He and his group, Main Street Baseball, have owned multiple minor-league teams. So we'll talk a little baseball.Dave also happens to be one of the top political media consultants and campaign strategists in the Democratic Party. As president of Main Street Communications, an award-winning political media firm, Dave has compiled the best won-loss record in the Democratic Party helping 30 clients win election to Congress. He has helped elect and re-elect more African-Americans to Congress than any other media consultant, including current and former U.S. Reps. Jesse Jackson, Jr., the late John Lewis, and Maxine Waters.Now, outside of talking about some of his clients, as any self-respecting C-10 fan knows, we don't talk politics on this podcast. This week is no exception.The readers of USA Today and 10Best.com voted the Bandits' ballpark, Modern Woodmen Park, “Best Minor League Ballpark in America.” The Bandits have won Ballpark Digest's “Best Ballpark Improvement Award” five times. The Bandits also won Ballpark Digest's “Commitment to Charity” award four times since 2015 (no other team has even won twice). In 2016, his organization, Main Street Baseball, was named Ballpark Digest's Minor League Baseball Organization of the Year, one of the industry's most prestigious awards.LINKS:For more information about the C-10 Mentoring & Leadership program for high school students, visit our website.For information on the inaugural C YOU AT TOPGOLF fundraiser for C-10 on September 8, please go to the event page.To see some of Dave Heller's work, visit this page on the Main Street Communications' website.To make a financial gift to give students life-changing one-on-one mentoring, visit our secure donation page.For all episodes of the C-10 podcast and ways you can listen, click here.If you'd like to make a comment, have a suggestion for a future guest, or your company would like to help underwrite this podcast, please visit our contact page.https://CYouInTheMajorLeagues.org/Topgolf

This episode tackles the question, "Is trucking really an adventure?" As you'll hear, that largely depends on the person behind the wheel. Since I get out of the truck and go exploring about as often as a TV evangelist refuses money, I figured I'd get avid trucker/explorer, Kevin McKague, a.k.a @KevinofMI, to explain how he manages to see more than just asphalt when he's out on the road. And in a rare treat, you get to hear his voice instead of mine. He mentions AllTrails.com as an excellent source of information. He cites some trails he frequents, including the Western Maryland Rail Trail. And he talks about places he's visited, including links to Modern Woodmen Park, a minor league ball park in Iowa, and the Flight 93 National Memorial in Pennsylvania. Kevin is @KevinofMI on Twitter, and you can see his photos on Flickr, or on Instagram. Not long after he wrote this blog post, he also started a blog of his own, which is called Kevin's Untitled Travel Blog. We've got a whopper of a feedback section today. I get a few comments from the regulars and I answer some questions Kristine asked over on the interview I did on JobShadow.com. We discuss many concerns women have about getting into the trucking industry, including loading and unloading issues, how women drivers are treated, and whether she should find a team driver to make more money.
