Madi Lamb is a Kansas City native & the founder of Quarter Life Club, a social club for helping twentysomethings “in the mood to meet people” connect in a meaningful way.

At 25, Madi hit the dreaded “quarter life crisis”. She was having trouble meeting people, and she quickly discovered she wasn’t the only one. Thanks in part to the distance that stemmed from covid and remote work, many in her generation seemed to be struggling to build community.

Madi decided to do something about it. Both inspired & disenchanted by dating apps, she began hosting casual meetups for others looking to connect. 500 members and 4 cities later, the Quarter Life Club has taken off and is sparking friendships, relationships, and meaningful connections all over the country — with Kansas City’s club leading the way.

We’re joined by Madi’s KC Advocate, Brandon Krekel, who works at the KC Chamber of Commerce and shares how Madi’s vision and the QLC is impacting small businesses all over the region.

Danny O’Neill, founder of Kansas City’s iconic The Roasterie Coffee Company, is one of a kind. One of ten children born and raised in tiny Denison, Iowa, Danny was always looking for a way to make a mark. Little did he know that a semester as a high school exchange student in Costa Rica picking coffee beans would forever change his life.

He eventually saved up $17,000 dollars, bought a coffee roaster, lined his basement with corrugated tin, blue tarps and fluorescent lighting and went to work air roasting coffee. His first sale was a ten pound bag for a coffee cart at Children’s Mercy Hospital, and the rest is history.

It’s an incredible story about fear, perseverance, and hard work. It wasn’t easy becoming “The Bean Baron”!

Deliece Hofen is the founder of Braden’s Hope for Childhood Cancer, a Kansas City nonprofit working to raise awareness & funds for childhood cancer research to advance cures for children.

Deliece’s son Braden was diagnosed with Stage IV Neuroblastoma when he was just three and given little chance to live. When Deliece faced her own simultaneous breast cancer diagnosis, she saw firsthand how stark the difference was between her clear path forward and the question marks faced by those fighting childhood cancer due to lack of funding and research. Now 20, Braden is in remission and continues to defy odds. Since its founding in 2010, "Braden's Hope” has raised millions of dollars for research into the fight against the leading cause of death among children.

This is a remarkable story of perseverance, hope, and the power of our Kansas City community.
