We had a fantastic time touring Touchstone Research Laboratory, Ltd. with founder and CEO Brian Joseph. This is one of the most innovative companies in the US, and it’s headquartered right here in the beautiful Mountain State. Here we are pictured in front of Touchstone’s patent wall. It was an honor to spend time with Brian and learn about all the incredible things they’re doing!

We are pumped (pun intended) to drop our latest episode of the Innovation Scholars Podcast! 💪 This week, Kaylee Anderson sits down with the powerhouse behind Code 3 Health and Fitness, CEO Allen Lude.

Allen isn’t just running a gym; he’s engineering a culture. In this episode, he breaks down the reality of moving from a startup space to a large new facility and explains why the people you sweat with determine how you grow. We dive deep into the grit required to lead in the fitness industry and why a true gym community feels like nothing else on earth.🫶

Allen’s energy is infectious; you don’t want to miss this one!

Ever wonder what it’s actually like to lead an organization with a mission as big as the Girl Scouts? In our latest episode, Kaylee Anderson hangs out with Beth Casey, CEO of the Girl Scouts of Black Diamond Council, to talk about her full-circle journey from Girl Scout to CEO.

Innovation isn't just about tech, it’s about how we tell our stories and where we choose to tell them. In our latest episode, Kaylee Anderson sits down with filmmaker and producer Bob Tinnell to discuss his journey through the film industry and his mission to create right here in West Virginia. 🌄

We’re diving into the evolution of film, the power of "rooted" storytelling, and what it means to build a world-class creative career on your own terms.
