Episode 15: Barry Turner
We sat down with the commander of American Legion Post 340, Terre Haute Dancing with the Stars contestant, and Terre Haute City Plumber Barry Turner. He's been through a lot so you don't have to. Learn from Barry's unique perspective and listen to him dive deep on the issues plaguing today's society (unfortunately some of the same issues we dealt with decades ago), and how he sees hope on the horizon for change into the future. Barry's humility is rivaled only by his kind heart as he pours out positivity in today's evermore difficult societal minefield. ------------------------------------------------- Submit your funny videos, TikToks, questions and topics you'd like to hear on the podcast to: friendsofconnectedpodcast@gmail.com ------------------------------------------------ Find Us: Website: https://connect812.com Instagram: con.nect.edpodcast Facebook: Connected Podcast Twitter: @connected812 YouTube: @con_nect_ed TikTok: @Connected812 ------------------------------------------------ Producer: Chocolate Milk Productions Email Chocolate Milk Productions at cmproductions812@gmail.com for all video production inquiries.

Episode 14: ISU President Mike Godard
Dr. Mike Godard proudly serves as the 13th President of Indiana State University, bringing over 25 years of higher education leadership. His distinguished career spans multiple pivotal roles, from dedicated faculty member to department chair, vice provost, and most recently, provost. On today's episode, we had the immense pleasure and honor to bring in the 13th president of Indiana State University! Dr. Mike Godard, as busy as he is, was gracious enough to sit down with us and discuss the man behind the Sycamore symbol. Mike credits much of his success to the proper mentors being put onto his path at the perfect times. He emphasizes the importance of making the best of the path you are on, while being cognizant of unanticipated opportunities and taking advantage of said opportunities. Dr. Mike Godard is the embodiment of "life is what you make it," and his efforts are consistently rooted in his ability to raise the ships around him. While we only scratched the surface, this abbreviated episode gives great insight to the man Mike is, and how his influence on Indiana State University will be immediate and long standing.

Kelsey Terry
Do you need to relax, chill out, or hakuna matata? Sit back and enjoy the chill conversation with Kelsey Terry, co-owner of Common Grounds Yoga & CrossFit. Kelsey is the epitome of love everyone, and "meet them where they are." We get into Kelsey's family dynamic and background, which helped shape who she is as a friend, partner, and most importantly, a parent. Kelsey's love for yoga doesn't start with the activity itself, but the principles that she embodied from early childhood and has stayed true to throughout her life. Join us on this journey into Kelsey's life philosophy, ideals, and parenting style. Pro tip, you'll want to listen all the way through, because she may or may not have changed a little about how we approach life on a daily basis.
