From music to motorsports to Mansfield's workforce, Clint Knight wears a lot of hats — and we talk about all of them in this week’s episode.
By day, Clint is the Workforce Development Director for the Richland Area Chamber & Economic Development, working to build a talent pipeline that can support the region’s evolving economic needs. Outside the office, he runs Valley Media and Productions, curates the Sunday Songwriter Series at the Phoenix, and co-hosts the Ohio Dirt Track Podcast.
We dig into Clint’s history as a musician and his passion for local music — including his work curating intimate songwriter showcases. We discuss his deep roots in the dirt track racing scene, where he co-hosts a podcast and is closely following the revival of the Mansfield Motorsports Speedway. We also touch on his day job in workforce development and what it really takes to prepare a community for industrial growth.
Plus: local news headlines from around the region, including a death penalty case in Morrow County, inmate overdoses at RICI, and the latest on solar energy restrictions in Richland County.
