    Season 3, Episode 220

    Is Cincinnati the Outdoor Capital of the Midwest? (feat. Brian Bozeman & Mike Sipple Jr.)


    Can one city become a magnet for talent, wellness, and innovation—just by building trails?


    In this inspiring episode, Brian Bozeman shares how a family bike ride turned into a 60-kid mountain bike team, how the outdoors became his ministry, and why Cincinnati may be America’s best-kept secret for trail access and livability. We also dive into how outdoor recreation isn’t just good for your soul — it’s a serious strategy for business, workforce, and regional growth.


    If you’ve ever wondered what’s possible when leaders say yes, this one will light a fire.

Talent Magnet Institute's podcast is phenomenal!

The Talent Magnet Institute is doing such important work. It is critical to attract the right talent (being a magnet) but even more important to support your talent once they come on board. TMI has so many thought-leaders that are sharing exactly how to support the whole person, all of the needs that our employees have as they navigate their professional and personal journeys. Highly recommend!

Leadership insights that are a cut above the rest

Mike & his team offer quality leadership insights, training & tools that can be applied across the board in a variety of environments. I'll also add that I have the privilege of interacting with Mike, Amber, his kids, and his parents outside of a work environment. This has afforded me the privilege of seeing their values lived out in real-time over the years. Watching them strive for excellence in all areas of their life shows their commitment to doing well at work has not come at the expense of doing well at home. They truly are "the real deal." Give them a listen. I bet you'll subscribe.

Leadership and experience

Mike is able to obviously leverage his tremendous years of experience and bring it to this podcast. This is a no brainer for any leader to subscribe to and listen religiously.
