Podcast appearances and mentions of randy boyd

Clayton Home founder and philanthropist Jim Clayton has abandoned plans to build a science museum in East Knoxville. In this week's installment, Scott looks at the decision and what's next for the 11-acre site next to the Civic Auditorium and Coliseum. He also talks about the Justice Knox Nehemiah Action Assembly, a “rails to trails” lawsuit stemming from a proposed South Knoxville greenway, Stuart Hohl's election as Knox Dems Chair, and more. Scott also looks ahead to opening day at Covenant Health Park, where Knoxville Smokies owner Randy Boyd has honored members of the Knoxville Giants, the city's team in the Negro Southern League during the 1920s and 30s.

Meet Our GuestsRandy Boyd is the President of the University of Tennessee and a lifelong entrepreneur. He's best known for founding Radio Systems Corporation (the company behind PetSafe, Invisible Fence, and other brands), growing it into a global leader. But beyond business, Randy has dedicated much of his career to education, economic development, and community investment, serving as Tennessee's Commissioner of Economic and Community Development and playing a key role in launching Tennessee Promise, which has provided free community college to thousands of students. He's also a passionate supporter of Knoxville's arts and culture scene—and, of course, a big believer in baseball's role in placemaking. Jaleria Rivera is an artist, activist, and the founder of Spacecraft Knoxville—a creative incubator that describes itself as a constellation of artists, misfits, and dreamers, focused on joy activism and community care. She's helping build a grassroots arts economy that creates real opportunities for artists to live, work, and thrive in Knoxville. Jaleria moved here during the pandemic, and like so many creative people, she had to figure out how to find her people, build connections, and create opportunities where they didn't exist before. Spacecraft is the result of that work, and it's just getting started.What's This Conversation About?This episode is about how people like Randy and Jaleria shape places - and how the places they build shape the people and communities from the ground up. We dig into:How communities attract and retain talent—and why the arts are just as important as jobs and infrastructure.What makes a city feel real—how Knoxville can avoid the pitfalls of becoming “just another mid-sized city” and instead double down on what makes it special.The role of failure in success—Randy shares some of his early entrepreneurial failures and why he believes in “failing early and often.”The power of grassroots collaboration—how Jaleria and her peers are building an arts economy from the ground up, creating spaces where creativity and economic opportunity go hand in hand.Big moves on the horizon—from the UT system's billion-dollar investments to a stadium that aims to host 700 events a year, including concerts, markets, and more.A huge thank you to Dr. Marianne Wanamaker of the Howard H. Baker Jr. School of Public Policy and Public Affairs for kicking off this conversation with such a great question: How do entrepreneurs, innovators, and leaders get involved in civic life and make a real impact on their communities? That question sets the stage for everything we're about to discuss.Why Should You Listen?If you care about YOUR city, if you care about making your community better, whether you're an entrepreneur, an artist, a civic leader, or just someone who believes in the power of big ideas, this conversation is for you.- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Listen to all episodes of the Big Ideas Welcome podcast, available now on your favorite streaming platforms, YouTube, and at bigideaswelcome.com.

He tells us the four things he has discovered successful businesses do, settling disputes with win/win/win in mind (you'll have to listen to find out what the extra win is!), and a great program, The Birthday Lunch and Listen, where people from across the organization are celebrated and listened to as well as creating an opportunity for employees to network with each other.

He is also the founder and chairman of the non-profit Tennessee Achieves. Randy and Jenny Boyd have dedicated their lives to giving back. In 2018, the couple formed the Boyd Foundation to further promote youth education, mental health, the arts and animal welfare. Among the Foundation's many philanthropic commitments is the Boyd Center for Business and Economic Research and the Anderson Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation's Boyd Venture Challenge seed grant program for student entrepreneurs, both through the Haslam College of Business at UT Knoxville.

This week on the podcast, Scott and Jesse discuss KPD's internal affairs investigation into the shooting of Anthony Thompson Jr, the most recent dust up over the county's BZA, and a HUGE planned development on the Cumberland Avenue 'Strip.' The guys speak with outgoing city administrator Stephanie Welch about a number of items, including the changes to the funding plan for the multi-use stadium project. They answer a good question from a subscriber about how KUB is paying for broadband installation and the infrastructure upgrades for the stadium district. Finally, the fellas look ahead at the upcoming vote on BZA at Commission and a controversy at City Council about the removal of trees at Cradle of Country Music park to make way for a public art piece(see episode 10's interview with Liza Zenni for more).

My brother in law Sean sits in with us and we chat across the board.  Town Hall meeting shut down, sports, elections, Trump's house searched and of course the Multi Use stadium cost over runs and who's gonna pay.  Thanks to East Tn News Stories  for producting an edit of the city council meeting where both Stephanie Welch and Randy Boyd promise that we the tax payers would not be on the hook for any more money for this stadium.  Check out our website, facebook, and twitter. 

It's hard to get excited about an empty stadium site that has done nothing but close roads in recent months and that's still almost three years from completion. The good news is construction should be starting soon, and it doesn't appear like any additional taxpayer money will be going toward the project – sort of.  Boyd is expected to put up a loan covering cost overruns that could be repaid by an expanded tax increment financing district, which can be as confusing as it sounds.  Fortunately, we have you covered with an analysis of the multiuse stadium project and where it goes from here. Brenna McDermott and Ryan Wilusz examine what the expanded TIF district means for the overall project in hopes of answering whether the stadium still makes sense.  "The Scruffy Stuff" is presented by knoxnews.com.
