Life Unscripted with Kevin Shook

Ever wonder how a farmer transitions to the political arena or what the day-to-day of a Ways and Means Committee member entails? Buckle up, because Life Unscripted is gearing up for an engrossing conversation with Indiana State Representative JD Prescott and State Senator Jeff Raatz, where JD spills the beans on his move from tilling the fields to representing House District 33, and Jeff offers a peek behind the curtain of a state senator's role versus that of a representative. We're not just talking politics, though—get ready to celebrate community spirit with the heartwarming Prescott picnic story, and discover how the latest agricultural tech keeps farmers like JD at the top of their game.
But that's not all we're unboxing today. Step into the classroom of the future, where traditional education gets a run for its money from non-conventional learning paths. I'll be unraveling the stories of those who've forged successful careers through alternative routes, like paramedic programs and online platforms. Delving further, we'll light up the discussion on the symbiotic relationship between local community colleges and businesses, crafting technical programs that hit the bullseye for student needs and employer demands. And we're going to break down Indiana's school choice voucher programs—untangling financial myths and showcasing their role in cultivating educational diversity. Join us for a journey through the landscape of learning and work that promises to expand your perceptions and maybe even inspire your next move.
