  • Sarah Myer of Indiana Sports Corp on What Makes Indianapolis Unique

    Sarah Myer of Indiana Sports Corp on What Makes Indianapolis Unique
    Apr 2 2026
    Sarah Myer has spent her career turning Indianapolis into a destination, and she is not done yet. As Senior Director of Communications and Marketing at Indiana Sports Corp, she helped execute the 2021 NCAA Men's Tournament bubble, led the 2024 U.S. Olympic Swimming Trials at Lucas Oil Stadium, and is now building toward the 2026 Men's Final Four and beyond. Myer traces her path from a Cleveland suburb to Butler University, where a professor handed her a $30-per-game rooftop camera job with the Indianapolis Indians and opened her eyes to what the city could offer. She talks about interning with the Indiana Pacers during the 2004 brawl, marketing the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra through a financial crisis, and what those hard seasons taught her about crisis communications, self-advocacy, and resilience. She also speaks candidly about personal loss in 2020, the grief that followed, and how a November phone call about hosting the entire NCAA Tournament gave her something to pour herself into. The conversation covers what makes Indianapolis's local organizing committee model unique, why the city is pursuing an NFL Draft bid for 2030, and what fans can expect for free at the 2026 Men's Final Four on American Legion Mall. Myer closes with three words she would give any young professional: be curious, be humble, and do not be a jerk.

    Indy Chamber’s Blaine Zimmerman on Talent Attraction, Veterans and Telling Indy’s Story
    Mar 5 2026
    On this episode of Talent Scout, host Dave Neff talks with Blaine Zimmerman, chief talent and marketing officer for the Indy Chamber, about the experiences that shaped him and the work he is leading across the region. Zimmerman reflects on growing up in Tipton and Cicero, the influence of his great-grandfather Gene Fox, and running track and cross country at Indiana State. He shares why he left college early to join the Army, what life looked like as an infantryman with deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan, and how that transition eventually led him into talent work focused on helping veterans build civilian careers. He explains how InVets grew its reach by building trust with military bases and hosting virtual resume, networking and LinkedIn training with employers. At the Indy Chamber, Zimmerman outlines priorities tied to economic development, telling Indianapolis’ story, and attracting and retaining talent, including efforts to better connect college students and interns with the city. He also discusses apprenticeships, the “I’m Not Done Yet” message, Speed City, and why mentorship and saying yes opened doors in Indianapolis, closing with his definition of success: the ripples you create by helping others.
