Circle City Success is The Podcast for Indy's local community. Our mission is to interview successful people in the Indianapolis area and share their knowledge and experience with the local Indianapolis community. We hope to provide a guide to the next generation of Indy's leaders through conversations with those who we should all strive too emulate.There are plenty of people whose stories aren't told that can provide great inspiration and direction to people in the community. We want to speak with those people in the Indianapolis area, learn about what they did to attain their current level of success, and to pass wisdom and provide guidance to the next generation of Indy's leaders.
