When COVID hit our communities in early 2019, we paused our Lunch at the Mill podcast series to follow proper social distancing protocols. The pandemic certainly took a lot away from us over the past few years, but it also provided some interesting opportunities. In that time, Cook Medical has partnered with other like-minded organizations to work on a unique project that serves as a model for how organizations across all sectors can come together to create positive social change.
The 38th and Sheridan project is a collective of business, not-for-profits, and community partners who are using their expertise and resources to help bring opportunity back to an underserved community in Northeast Indianapolis. These organizations are working alongside the community to build a medical device manufacturing facility that will bring over 100 jobs to the neighborhood, as well as a new full-service grocery store that will bring a much needed food source to the community.
We recorded a special series of virtual podcasts around the 38th and Sheridan project, including interviews with:
Kent Kramer, president and CEO of Goodwill of Central & Southern Indiana Ashley Gurvitz, Chief Executive Officer at United Northeast CDC (ANU/UNEC) Keith Graves, District 13 Indianapolis City County Councilor Joyce Randolph and James Campbell, Neighborhood association presidents in Northeast Indianapolis Tom Guevara, Lecturer and Director at the Indiana University Public Policy Institute “Joe the Grocer”, Retail Supermarket Consultant Michael McFarland and Marckus Williams, owners and operators of the Indy Fresh Market -

The prosecuting attorney is one of the hardest positions in government. This elected role has prosecutorial discretion, which means they have the power to make decisions about whether or not to file charges against a citizen. Erika Oliphant is currently seeking her second term as Monroe County’s Prosecuting Attorney in 2022 and in this pre-COVID episode of LATM, Pete talks with her about how she navigates ethical decision-making and gets her perspective on current community issues.

Why would a New York Times best-selling author sit alone in a dark cave for an hour? What does an executive producer for a movie really do? And can you be happy and still make good art? In this episode, Pete sits down with his long-time friend—and author of So Cold the River—Michael Koryta to discuss these questions and more over lunch from DeAngelo’s. They also discuss Michael’s newest novel, The Chill, published under the name Scott Carson.

Pete learns more about how viruses like this spread and what precautions government officials take in an effort to keep people well.

In our 20th episode, Pete sits down with Audi Culver and Ivy Siosi to learn about the art of woodworking, how they got started in this niche industry, and their plans for the future.

If you own a TV, chances are you’ve watched public television. Broadcasting from Indiana University Bloomington’s campus, WTIU has been on our television airways since 1969 and reaches Hoosiers in over 26 counties. In episode 19, Pete eats lunch with Brent Molnar, the current Station Operations and Content Director, to learn more about creating content for a diverse state audience and how WTIU connects community members to resources with their annual Conference on Aging.

Our current prison system seems as if it’s designed to set newly-released offenders up for failure. The cost of daily drug screens, the rent to live in a halfway house, finding transportation, reporting to probation meetings—all of these tasks become monumental challenges when most offenders struggle to find work or reliable transportation. AJay and his wife Anna set out to change the outcome for these men and women by starting Made Up Mind (M.U.M.), an organization committed to helping ex-offenders develop honest accountability and provide them with the tools to build a new life.

In episode 17, Pete and Fred chat over Swing-In pizza about what it’s like to be a student athlete in the age of social media and what’s in store for Glass when he retires at the end of the 2019-2020 academic year.

Justin Loveless is an entrepreneur, a self-proclaimed cheeseburger connoisseur, and one of the biggest ice purveyors in town (really). Perhaps most notably, Justin is a co-owner of the beloved Chocolate Moose and has a reputation for giving jobs to individuals who are looking for a second chance. In episode 15, Pete sits with Justin to talk about the history of “The Moose”, some of the weirdest bets he’s had to settle about an enigmatic basement, and the importance of bringing ice cream to community events.

Classes on Sundays, shorter semesters, digital textbooks—This might sound like the college of the future, but for Ivy Tech Community College it’s simply meeting the needs of today’s student population. In episode 14, Pete sits down with Chancellor Jennie Vaughan to learn how Ivy Tech serves traditional and non-traditional students alike and contributes to education of an entire community through strategic partnerships.

While that may not be the ideal outcome for a business student, it helped Courtney jumpstart GRO (Girls Riders Organization), a non-profit organization that uses skateboarding to help young girls become confident leaders. Courtney talks with Pete about her passion to empower and how the key to success (and skateboarding) is not being afraid to fall.
