Guests & Co-Hosts
KEVIN O’NEILL
Kevin O’Neill is our Wednesday and Friday morning sports guy. His segment emphasizes what happens off the field as much as what happens on the field. All businesses have their intrigue, but the inner workings of sports organizations find their way into the public domain frequently. Unless a rant from the Chief spills into Kevin’s segment (not an unusual occurrence), he will highlight some of those sports related business issues; but be advised that those highlights usually come with an opinion.
LARISSA ADAMIEC
Larissa is a newly appointed Clinical Professor at Purdue University and expert in CPI numbers. She is a friend of weekly guest, Russell Rhoads and the two share their knowledge on their co-hosted podcast: Academic Market Insights. Listen here: https://www.youtube.com/@AcademicMarketInsights
