Welcome back to Kent in Good Company! This is our last episode of Season 3! I’m so grateful to all of you for listening to Kent’s organization leader stories. And I’m thrilled for what next season will bring! Season 4 will begin in June, so get ready for some fun, “unconventional” episodes this summer!

Today, I spoke with Andra, the executive director of Leadership Portage County. I admit, I did not know much about LPC before this episode, but talking to Andra got me all excited about it! LPC is a great organization for supporting and growing the greater community. I’m excited for you all to learn about it just like I did during this conversation.

Welcome back to Kent in Good Company! For today’s episode, I spoke with David, the general manager for the Kent State University Hotel & Conference Center. David reminded us that not only is this quality hotel placed perfectly downtown, but it exists to bridge the university and the community. It’s a local business with a community purpose just like all the other businesses and organizations we’ve heard from on this podcast. So go ahead! Invite your friends to come to Kent for a weekend and stay at the hotel, and know that those dollars are going right back into the community, not a big corporate operation.

In this episode, we spoke about The Kent Stage. And we have an episode about them! In fact, it’s one of my favorites! If you’d like to listen to it, check it out in our Season 2 library of episodes here: https://mainstreetkent.org/discover/in-good-company/season-2/

Welcome back to Kent in Good Company! I have been waiting for so long to talk about this local organization! We are talking with Julie and Bengt about the Kent Historical Society today! I am a big history buff, and if you are too, this is a great episode to listen to. We chat about some of Kent’s rich history and the ways we as a community are celebrating it these days, including a 150th birthday party for the Depot.

In this episode, we spoke about North Water Brewing. And we have an episode about them! If you’d like to listen to that, check it out in our Season 2 library of episodes here: https://mainstreetkent.org/discover/in-good-company/season-2/

Welcome back to Kent in Good Company! We are walking a bit down Main Street today to the Kent State University Museum where I spoke to the director, Sarah. Sarah welcomed me into her beautiful office (pictured as the episode artwork), which she later told me used to be the university president’s office! It was quite an experience chatting with her in such a historic and beautiful space. Sarah gave a big nod to the history of the museum and expressed her desire to see the community take full advantage of it. I really hope you’re inspired to do that after hearing this conversation!

Welcome back to Kent in Good Company! In today's episode, I spoke with Keleigh from Thresholds Group. Keleigh has the sweetest personality. I wanted to keep talking to her for hours because she is just a genuine person. Keleigh and I also have a lot in common with her being a Kent transplant and having a background in education, so we are kindred spirits for sure! You will love hearing Keleigh’s story, and you will love the energy she brings to the pod!

In this episode, Keleigh and I spoke about the Haymaker Farmer’s Market. And we have an episode about them! If you’d like to listen to that, check it out in our Season 1 library of episodes here: https://mainstreetkent.org/discover/in-good-company/season-1/

Welcome back to Kent in Good Company! For our 50th episode (THANK YOU!), I spoke with Jeff, the founder of Standing Rock Cultural Arts. His colleagues, Cameron and Fred, joined us as well! I was so excited to do an episode about this organization because a couple people have mentioned them as a hidden gem! After talking with them, I can see why it’s such a gem: they do so much for the community to incorporate the arts into every crevice possible in Kent. I’m so thankful for that! We all should be.
