ON THE FLY!, a new podcast produced in Cincinnati, is about socially minded entrepreneurs and the coaches and investors who support them. Listen to stories, advice, tips and ideas from talented and experienced coaches who work closely with the creative founders of emerging nonprofit organizations and for-profit businesses. Explore the reasons and reward for investing in social impact. All of that and more at ON THE FLY!
Donna Zaring, Executive Director of Flywheel Social Enterprise Hub, says, “Flywheel launched in 2011 to help social entrepreneurs grow and scale their businesses into enterprises that have both a financial return and positive social impact. Since then, we have mined hundreds of best practices in the nonprofit and for-profit sectors. We want to use today’s preferred channel of communication to share our story and the stories of the hundreds of founders and subject matter experts we have worked with. We’re excited to launch ON THE FLY! and introduce more people to the benefits of creating, sustaining and investing in social enterprises.”
ON THE FLY! is produced by Joey Scarillo and hosted by Joan Kaup – both certified coaches with Flywheel, with music composed by Ben Hammer. To date, all the episodes have been recorded at UC’s 1819 Innovation Hub, compliments of the University of Cincinnati.
As a Flywheel Coach for more than ten years, Joan Kaup has coached numerous emerging nonprofit and for-profit organizations. Kaup holds an MBA in entrepreneurship from Xavier University, has worked in Greater Cincinnati for more than 40 years, and her depth of knowledge of Flywheel and the entrepreneurial ecosystem positions her to host ON THE FLY! When asked about their guests, Kaup says, “I like hearing the passion in their voices as they talk about their origin stories and vision. Their grit is apparent in conversations about overcoming obstacles. My reward is making meaningful connections between people or organizations where they can find common ground or the help they need to advance their goals. Through ON THE FLY!, I connect our listeners with the founders, coaches and subject matter experts who have valuable advice and experience to share. Some episodes will make you laugh out loud, but I hope each one leaves you with a nugget to think about.”
After more than a decade in New York City, Joey Scarillo now calls Cincinnati home and works as an Associate Director of Project Management for Grey Midwest. Prior to his move, he was with Grey New York, where he operated in the same role and produced and hosted two podcasts
