Turkey Chili & Leadership: Darnell Hamilton Cooks for Milwaukee

Charlie sits down with Darnell Hamilton, Executive Director of Future Urban Leaders, to cook a hearty turkey chili while discussing Darnell's Chicago upbringing, his teaching career in Milwaukee, and the work his organization does to support young people through a long-term leadership pipeline.

The episode mixes cooking tips—turkey, sweet potato, black beans, peppers, jalapeño corn muffins, and a Hazy IPA base—with conversations about community pride, mentorship, and building opportunities for Milwaukee youth.
