This week, yet ANOTHER inspiring Milwaukee woman ... 

GenZ, Millennials, GenXers and oh heck, EVERYBODY … this episode is for YOU. Corry Joe Biddle, VP of Community Affairs at MMAC & Executive Director of FUEL Milwaukee brings her love of our city to the podcast this week. Listen as she talks with Shelly and Meagan about how she got her start in this city, why she decided to stay, and why it’s now her mission to make Milwaukee a city that attracts (and KEEPS) a diverse and talented workforce.  

Listen as we talk about … 

• How Corry Joe created something special when she started paying attention to and stepped toward something that made her nervous (and how YOU can too!)
• The lightbulb moment at Mikey’s on Cathedral Square that got Corry Joe thinking about what Milwaukee needed to do differently for young professionals. 
• How she never expected to end up in Milwaukee primarily because she did not KNOW Milwaukee or see a space for her in the city, and what she’s doing to change that for others. 
• The comparison between her work at MMAC and Fuel and The Hair Club for Men. Whaaaa?? 
• How Milwaukee allows for proximity to greatness. (Or maybe proximity to greatness is just another way of saying “Small-Waukee”).
• In need of new friends? Join Fuel, it’s the way “grownups make friends.”
