Marian Miracle Man: Dan Elsener
When Dan Elsener became president of Marian College more than 25 years ago, the institution was facing financial crisis, declining enrollment and an uncertain future.

As Elsener prepares to transition from the president’s office, he sits down with Gerry Dick to reflect on a remarkable turnaround that included the decision to launch a football program, restore confidence and attract new donors.

When Growth Meets Resistance: The Battle Over Economic Development
Where is Indiana’s economy headed, and what will it take for the state to remain competitive in the race for new investment and jobs? On this episode, Gerry sits down with Ginovus CEO Larry Gigerich to discuss the forces shaping economic development in Indiana and across the country. The nationally recognized economic development executive offers perspective on the latest investment trends, the industries looking to expand in Indiana, and the opportunities that could drive the state’s next wave of economic growth. There’s also a growing challenge: NIMBYism, or “Not in My Backyard.” Gigerich says community opposition to development projects is the worst he has seen in his many years in the business. What’s driving the resistance, how is it affecting economic development deals, and what does it mean for Indiana’s ability to compete for major investment? It's an insightful conversation about the opportunities ahead, challenges standing in the way, and what Indiana must do to keep moving forward.
