Content Camp

Scott Grotjan is the CEO of Indianapolis expense reduction firm Silverback. Scott chatted with Landon, Louis and Tony about his work, business ownership, the value of education and much, much more. Scott helped the kids understand why it is so important to find out what you love to do!!

Jason Hammond of Fifth Third bank joined us on our first ever Zoom call. Jason explained all about what a life in sales looks like. It turns out that EVERYONE needs selling skills. We all need to sell ourselves in some way at certain times in life.

Louis had the very special privilege of interviewing his beloved piano teacher Betty Sherman. Louis has studied under Betty for many joyful years, and probably has Betty to thank for making piano so fun and interesting to him. Louis practices very hard in his quest to become a skilled piano player, but happily stepped away from the keyboard for a chance to talk music with Betty. This interview really boils down to two lovers of music talking about music and life. Please enjoy!!!

Note: If you have a hard time understanding Alex, you can see the video version of this podcast, including subtitles, here. Libby and Tony had the opportunity to interview our very own Alex, who with his American family embarked on an unforgettable two-week journey back to China, where Alex was born! Adopted at age four, Alex reconnected with his roots alongside 10 other families with similar adoption stories. From navigating the vibrant streets of Beijing to discovering the surprising spice levels of Chinese cuisine (with dumplings stealing the show!), this trip was surely filled with cultural discoveries and heartfelt moments. As a seasoned traveler with adventures in Japan, Canada, Costa Rica, France, and beyond, Alex shared his unique perspective on this deeply personal journey. Thank you so much to Alex for sharing this part of your story with us!!!!

Harry and Josh are grandfather and grandson, and took the time to share their side project The Great Patty Melt Challenge with Landon and Kennedy of Content Camp. Harry and Josh set out discover the best patty melts in central Indiana, and have covered such local restaurants as Logan's, Daddy Jack's, BRU Burger Bar and many others. Which one is the best? You'll have to tune in to find out!!! To learn more about The Great Patty Melt Quest visit their website at the link.

Today Kennedy and Louis had the great pleasure of visiting with Emmy, who is a student (along with Louis) at Acton Academy in Indiana. Louis and Emmy have know each other for several years and are well versed in Acton Academy's way of approaching education. Kennedy is a high school student at Carmel High School, and has only experienced "traditional" public schooling. Louis transitioned from Catholic school to Acton Academy during the 3rd grade, and so has a good feeling for both traditional and nontraditional school. We thought this conversation was fascinating as the kids shared ideas about their own school experience and tried to understand how it would feel to switch schools with each other. If your child wants to be a part of Content Camp, we record our show on Wednesday evenings in our studio on the northwest side of Indianapolis. Feel free to reach out to [email protected] to learn more about joining.

In this episode, Content Campers Louis and Landon interviewed the very gracious Mike Sokol of. Weaver & Sokol Insurance Agency in Indianapolis. This was a very interesting experience having two gradeschoolers interview an insurance professional when they themselves would have no good reason to know and understand the insurance game. This is what Content Camp is all about. When you get both kids and adults into a conversation, the kids learn things they would never be exposed to at their age and the adults are incredibly enriched by the opportunity to share their knowledge. It's a win-win!! If you are in need of insurance in the Indianapolis area, we highly suggest you reach out to Mike Sokol: Mike Sokol on LinkedIN www.weaversokolinsurance.com 317-257-2300 [email protected]

Landon and David had a blast interviewing Sean McDonough of Talk to Tucker. The boys peppered him with many questions about the real estate game! If your child wants to join our Content Camp crew, please reach out to us via email: [email protected]

This is part two of our interview with Denver. This time Kennedy and Louis took a turn. It's amazing how well-read Denver is!! As always, if your child wants to be part of Content Camp in Indianapolis, just shoot us an email: producer [at] ContentCamp.kids

They say conversation is an art form, and Denver Abernathy is known to be able to converse on just about any topic under the sun. Tiberius and David did a great job of testing Denver's knowledge on a wide range of topics. Eventually David asked a question that gets to the heart of the matter: How did Denver get so good at conversation? The answer might surprise you! Content Camp is a video podcast run by kids. Kids do all the on-camera and behind-the-scenes work from cameras, audio, video switching, etc. If you have a child in the Indianapolis area who would enjoy being part of our video crew, please reach out via email to: [email protected].
