Carl, Zac, and Hayden roll into Episode 72 with a caffeine-fueled catch-up on the week: Mansfield’s push to hike penalties for truckers who skip designated routes, an Election Day pep talk and progress at the reborn Mansfield Speedway. It’s the usual mix of local headlines, sports overreactions and newsroom banter — best paired with a cup from Relax, It’s Just Coffee.
Then Mansfield entrepreneur Dan Lew grabs the mic for a wide-ranging conversation. He traces his path from early gigs and China Club to DLX on the Square and Axe Social Lounge, unpacks what it really takes to build (and rebuild) in a downtown under construction, and shares lessons on resilience from the COVID era. Plus: the spark behind Gravity Ohio, the “Orange Cone Festival,” and why he’s bullish on Mansfield’s future.
