If you're into powerful stories, big personalities, and a heavy dose of Hoosier pride, you're in the right place. We've rounded up five unforgettable episodes from the Get IN. Podcast — each one featuring an Indiana icon, from restaurant legends to motorsports leaders. Whether you're a lifelong local or just exploring the Midwest, these conversations will make you laugh, reflect, and maybe even change the way you think about Indiana.
1. Scott Wise – The Rise, Fall, and Comeback of Scotty’s Brewhouse
🎧 Listen to Scott's full journey
How do you build a $30 million restaurant empire — and then lose it all? Scott Wise, the founder of Scotty’s Brewhouse, sits down for a brutally honest conversation about entrepreneurship, failure, mental health, and redemption. From his early days bartending in Muncie to scaling one of Indiana's most recognizable restaurant brands, Scott doesn't hold back. Now, he’s back with Roots Burger Bar — and a fresh perspective on what really matters.
Why listen? It's a raw, behind-the-scenes story of ambition, loss, and second chances right here in the heart of Indiana.
2. Will Schuler – People Before Profits
🎧 Hear how Will's redefining success in Indiana
Will Schuler isn’t your typical business leader. He left the corporate world to build people-first companies that value character over credentials. In this episode, Will talks about leadership, culture, and why how you do business matters just as much as what you do. If you’ve ever wondered what it means to lead with heart in a high-performance world, this one's for you.
Why listen? It's a masterclass in leadership, empathy, and building the kind of company people never want to leave.
3. Martha Hoover – Redefining Indy’s Culinary Culture
🎧 Go behind the scenes with Martha Hoover
Before "farm-to-table" was a buzzword, Martha Hoover was already building one of the most influential restaurant groups in the Midwest.

We talk food, policy, feminism, and the future of hospitality in Indianapolis.
Why listen? It’s a look at how one woman reshaped Indy’s food scene with purpose and flavor.
