What Most People Don't Know About Boys Town

For more than 100 years, Boys Town has helped children and families rebuild their lives, but most people have no idea how far its impact truly reaches. In this episode of The Inner Circle, Gil Cohen sits down with Rod Kempkes, President and CEO of Boys Town, and Father Jeff Mollner, the organization's spiritual director, for a powerful conversation about the legacy, evolution, and future of one of America's most recognized nonprofits. From family reunification and mental health support to crisis intervention, education, healthcare, and faith, this episode reveals how Boys Town has expanded far beyond its Omaha campus while staying true to Father Flanagan's original mission of hope and healing. You'll also hear the remarkable story behind Boys Town's founding, why it became its own municipality, and what Father Flanagan's recent elevation to "Venerable" means in the path toward sainthood. If you think Boys Town is just a campus in Omaha, this conversation may completely change your perspective.

He's a Pro Football Ref AND a Practicing Lawyer. Here's How.

How do you balance two high-pressure careers—on the field and in the courtroom? In this episode of The Inner Circle, Gil Cohen sits down with Clete Blakeman, a professional football referee with nearly two decades at the highest level and a practicing attorney with over 30 years of experience. From officiating the biggest games in football to managing a full legal career, Clete shares how he built a life that thrives in two completely different worlds. You'll hear how his journey started as a Nebraska quarterback, transitioned into law, and unexpectedly led to officiating major professional games. Clete breaks down what it's like to make split-second decisions in front of millions, how preparation and communication drive success, and why his legal background gives him an edge on the field. If you've ever wondered what it takes to operate at an elite level in two demanding professions, this episode delivers.

The #1 Thing Omaha Needs to Become a Top Convention City

What does it actually take for Omaha to compete with the top convention cities in the country? In this episode of The Inner Circle, Gil Cohen sits down with Adam Straight, President and CEO of MECA, to break down what's working and what's missing as Omaha looks to elevate its national presence in conventions, events, and entertainment. With over 25 years of experience leading major venues in Atlanta and New Orleans, Adam brings a fresh perspective on how cities win (or lose) convention business. From the recent expansion of the CHI Health Center to the importance of partnerships, infrastructure, and long-term planning, this conversation reveals the real strategy behind building a competitive destination. But one key factor rises above everything else: the single biggest piece Omaha needs to truly compete at the highest level. If you care about Omaha's growth, tourism, and economic future, this episode offers an inside look at what's next and what it will take to get there.

The "Uncompetitive" Trap Destroying Small Business in Nebraska

Nebraska's economic future depends on more than just good intentions; it requires thoughtful policy, long-term planning, and the courage to make difficult decisions. In this episode of The Inner Circle, Gil sits down with Jim Vokal, CEO of the Platte Institute, a statewide policy think tank focused on economic growth, tax policy, workforce development, and government transparency. A former Omaha City Council President and mayoral candidate, Vokal now works on the research and legislative side of the issues shaping Nebraska's future. The conversation explores how the Platte Institute works with Nebraska's unicameral legislature to turn policy research into real legislation, the role of Blueprint Nebraska in driving long-term economic strategy, and why tax policy remains one of the biggest factors influencing whether people and businesses choose to stay in or leave the state. If you care about Nebraska's competitiveness, workforce challenges, and how policy decisions shape the future of the state, this episode provides an inside look at the ideas and research driving those conversations.
