There can be no telling of the revitalization/rebirth/rebuilding of downtown Erie without recognizing the steadfast leadership and presence of Calamari’s under the ownership and leadership of Jay and Marci Honard. In celebrationof our decades long friendship – and their 30th anniversary indowntown Erie – we connect to discuss their business origin story – the challenges of running a successful restaurant and catering business – live music, pricing in an uncertain time, finding and keeping good staff…and so much more. Jay and Marci are powerful personalities, great business people, andgenuinely kind, friendly, and lovely people. And they are my dear friends. I hope you enjoy. Let’s go

Darlene Feeney almost never went to college. Thankfully - for thousands of students in Erie - she did. Darlene started in the parochial system and migrated to Erie's Public Schools where she taught for 20 years. She then ran for and won a seat on the Erie School Board. Darlene is a professional educator who has seen it from all angles. She is also a very thoughtful individual when it comes to critical issues facing our community andour country. This was a fun conversation with just a great human being.

Kyle is a husband & dad first - he is also an entrepreneur, coach, volunteer and so much more. Kyle is a great example of someone on the playing field of our region making plays, being a good teammate, and strategizing on what’s next. I have said on this show several times – the ball finds energy…and ball is definitely finding Kyle’s energy. Excited for everyone to hear directly from this highly impressive individual.
