Thanks for tuning in to YESTERDAY. TODAY. TOMORROW. for this special edition with Milwaukee County Executive, David Crowley, and let me tell you, this gentlemen and his work ethic are something to marvel! He's out here doing the impossible: juggling running Milwaukee County, running for Governor, and still being a present husband and girl-dad to three daughters! Luckily for us, he kept it a buck, shouting out his "better three quarters," Erica Crowley, for holding down the whole entire fort, proving that you gotta marry up to be successful. But the real foundation, the why behind his grind, started with the youth program URBAN UNDERGROUND back in high school. That place taught him how to love his community and, most importantly, how to love himself. He's firm on his belief in Milwaukee, choosing to stay rooted here instead of leaving for bigger opportunities like so many do. His message to the young kings and queens out there: Embrace that individuality. A man of quotes, he lives by the credo of: "Do or do not, there is no try!"

Before the political life, David Crowley was deep in the MKE music scene with his crew, the legendary "Two Random Entertainment!" Yes, they got that name because they were just too random with the house parties off 53rd and Locust and throughout the city of MIlwaukee. These guys were filling a void while having fun and bringing the community together, throwing events at places like Escape and Club 414, creating the vibe the 21-30 set needed, and connecting with future stars like Ray Nitti, Ray Rizzy, DJ Willie Shakes and others who have grown into incredible talents in their own right. He even considered getting into music production because he had a serious ear for the craft. Where did that come from? Saturday mornings listening to his mom playing the legends—Anita Baker and Al Green—and playing the trumpet in middle and high school under the tutelage of the legendary Sam Belton, which taught him to listen for those subtle samples and sounds. From Gospel (Kirk Franklin was his first CD!) to the Cash Money/No Limit wars, to Hip Hop icons Nas, JAY-Z and Big L (R.I.P.) music was always integral to his life and learning. We cover it all! Take a moment and enjoy the man, the myth and the Milwaukee legend, County executive David Crowley!

We are back with another edition of the HYFIN podcast series YESTERDAY. TODAY. TOMORROW. Our guest for this one: Nehemiah "Nemo" Edwards, an award-winning artist, a remarkable creative, and a proud representative of Milwaukee.

Although he is a graduate of UW-Madison with a degree in electrical engineering, Nemo's life is defined by his passion for the arts, which he considers his authentic "purpose work" and his means of expressing his true self. He approaches life with a deep spiritual philosophy, believing individuals are dual entities — more spirit than human — and that one must tap into this spiritual self, which is nothing but "pure love." Nemo's personality is characterized by a drive to live in "creator mode," finding value in vulnerability and honesty, and ultimately desiring a legacy tied to the genuine feeling of saying "I love you."

Nemo's life journey has been marked by a constant creative itch, starting with a childhood love for drawing and then evolving into music production, with an early goal of becoming a producer using Fruity Loops. Currently in a transitional period, his primary goal is to forge his own path and live an abundant life as a creator. His aspirations are global and universal: He desires significant financial wealth to achieve a particular lifestyle and, most importantly, to "serve others" and help his family and community. Nemo views his work in the arts as the place where he can have the "most amount of impact on people" and hopes to be a "walking example" of what's possible for those who share his background.

Enjoy this great conversation full of humor, honesty and most importantly LOVE!
