A new video podcast called “Meeting in Middle America” highlights young leaders in the heartland and some of their solutions to the nation’s most pressing challenges.
The weekly podcast, a joint production of UW-Milwaukee and WisPolitics.com/WisBusiness.com, is produced at UWM’s new Lubar Entrepreneurship Center. The first episode featured Brian Thompson, director of the Lubar Entrepreneurship Center, and Ilya Avdeev, associate professor of mechanical engineering and director of innovation at the Lubar Entrepreneurship Center.
The video podcast, which is also available in audio-only format, includes discussions with political leaders from across Wisconsin and the Midwest, innovative entrepreneurs and others willing to bridge political, geographical and social divides. It’s hosted by Steven Olikara, a Brookfield native and founder and president of the nonpartisan Millennial Action Project.
