James Arkell: Kansas City Mavericks Hockey & Michael's WonderWorld x Halo Care Collective

Épisode 27

jeudi 30 juillet 2026 • Durée 01:34:53

Kansas City Mavericks COO James Arkell talks playoff hockey, family, and the ultra-accessible "city within a city" he's building in Kansas City for son Michael.

James Arkell wears a lot of hats around Kansas City — COO of the Kansas City Mavericks hockey team, founder of Halo Care Collective, and the driving force behind Michael's WonderWorld, a first-of-its-kind ultra-accessible theme park, arena, and hotel complex coming to Johnson County. In this episode, James and Mindy dig into what makes Mavericks games one of the best-kept secrets in Kansas City sports — affordable tickets, free parking, the chase for the Kelly Cup, and why hockey fights are 100% organic. Then the conversation turns personal: James opens up about his son Michael's ultra-rare genetic diagnosis, the family's years-long fight with insurance, and how that experience sparked Halo Care Collective — a first-in-the-nation hub bringing 18+ clinical partners and 60+ community organizations under one roof, opening January 2027.

In this episode, we cover:

What to expect at a Kansas City Mavericks hockey game (and why it's one of the most affordable nights out in KC)
The Mavericks' affiliation with the Seattle Kraken and their push for the Kelly Cup
James's road to sobriety and finding home in Kansas City
Raising a son with a one-in-a-million rare genetic diagnosis
The insurance fight that changed everything for their family
Building Michael's WonderWorld — an ultra-accessible amusement park, arena, and hotel
Inside the Halo Care Collective, opening January 2027 in Johnson County

Brandon Calloway, CEO & Co-Founder of Kansas City G.I.F.T. on Scaling Black-Owned Businesses and Closing the Racial Wealth Gap

dimanche 26 avril 2026 • Durée 01:49:58

What happens when community capital meets intentional culture? In this episode, we sit down with Brandon Calloway, the CEO and Co-Founder of Kansas City G.I.F.T. (Generating Income For Tomorrow), a nonprofit dedicated to reversing the effects of systemic racism in Kansas City's historically redlined neighborhoods.

Brandon shares the "math" behind economic development—from the "Troost Avenue walk" that sparked citywide buzz to a grant program that has distributed over $1.6 million to local Black-owned businesses. We dive into why storytelling is "the stock price" of community impact and how G.I.F.T.'s full-service business center provides the legal, accounting, and marketing hygiene necessary to turn a startup into a community engine.

Key Takeaways:

The Power of Collective Giving: How a simple question—"What if 15,000 people donated $10?"—built a movement.
Beyond the Check: Why technical assistance (accounting, legal, and coaching) is just as vital as capital.
Representing the Future: Brandon's work with Dark Moon Comics and Blurred Media to normalize Black heroes in media.
Measurable Impact: How G.I.F.T. recipients have seen an average revenue growth of 200%+ and created over 130 new jobs.
