Mary Podesta (Football Official / San Francisco 49ers)

Mary Podesta was one of the first female football officials in the country.  As a former college athlete and athletic administrator, she was no stranger to being in the competitive arena.  Her work ethic and willingness to step into a sometimes uncomfortable male dominated profession got her a chance.  The quality of her work kept her around.  She now works for the San Francisco 49ers, officiating mini-camps and practices at the team's training facility.  https://vimeo.com/manage/videos/338456017 Support the showWe appreciate you listening to the Tinman Podcast!

Alli Truttmann (Wicked Sheets)

Alli Truttmann is the founder of Wicked Sheets, a company that started manufacturing moisture wicking and cooling bed sheets and has continued to thrive.  Alli was a college athlete that found that many of the materials that kept her cool during her playing days could be used in bedding as well.  She literally started the company out of her apartment, and 15 years later is still expanding to new products.  Her entrepreneurial spirit is in full force and I hope you enjoy a snapshot of her story.www.wickedsheets.comSupport the showWe appreciate you listening to the Tinman Podcast!

John Mullendore (Head Golf Pro - Indian Hills Country Club)

In this episode I visit with John Mullendore, the head golf professional at Indian Hills Country Club in Bowling Green, KY.  John was recently named the Kentucky PGA Professional of the Year.  In 2019, Indian Hills lost their clubhouse to a fire.  In December of 2021, a few weeks after opening the new clubhouse, a tornado ripped through the golf course itself, taking out 300 trees.  John's teaching ability is top-notch, but his outlook, work ethic, and leadership through adversity are what set him apart.  I hope you enjoy my conversation with a childhood friend who is accomplishing big things.  You can click on the following link to view the video from his awards ceremony.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mMUf-3t_05A Support the showWe appreciate you listening to the Tinman Podcast!
