BHL Podcasting

Today on the BHL podcast we visit with Jeff Meyer (Commissioner) and Andy Bagnato (PR) of the Cactus League, the spring training league for Major League Baseball in Arizona. Join us as we discuss stories of famous big leaguers in their candid moments at spring training, the economic impact the Cactus League has on its community and the state of Arizona, which baseball players should be in the Hall of Fame but aren’t, and what it means to grow up as a baseball lover and wind up running a spring training league and working with your childhood heroes!

In this episode of the BHL podcast, we visit with Chad Tenpenny, State Director and Counsel for U.S. Senator Pat Roberts. Listen in as we discuss the changes in politics over the years, being in D.C. during the 9/11 attacks, and what might surprise you to know about Senator Roberts. Many laughs and many surprises will be revealed!

The BHL podcast visits today with Kansas Senate President Susan Wagle. Join us as we discuss the transition from Allentown, PA (yes Billy Joes fans, that Allentown) to Wichita, KS, how you grow a business while raising 7 kids (and now 15 grandkids), the single issue that made her so mad she ran for the Legislature, and her most vivid and impactful childhood memory!
