This week on The Leadership Blueprint, Ken Hudson welcomes two powerful voices shaping the future of Muncie: Zion Strong—CEO of Everlasting, CEO of Superior Inc., and 8th-grade basketball coach at Northside Middle School—and Pastor Frank Scott, Sr., longtime community leader and president of the Whitely Community Council. Together, they dive deep into emotional intelligence, servant leadership, and the realities of mentoring youth who often carry trauma, self-doubt, or a “villain” mindset shaped by past mistakes. Zion opens up about being denied admission to school years ago because of too many disciplinary referrals—and how mentorship, maturity, and purpose reshaped his life. Pastor Scott adds wisdom on understanding where a young person really is emotionally before trying to lead them forward.

Cam and TC talk about what they are thankful for and take a trip down memory lane. Happy Thanksgiving!

The Colts fan base needed therapy today — so we brought in the man built for it. Colts Fan Man Chad Castor joined Delaware County Today to break down the overtime loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, question a few “interesting” penalties, and call out what some may see as the Patrick Mahomes Protection Program. Chad also talks defense, why the offense stalled late, what the rest of the Colts schedule really looks like, and what his crew is cooking for the Thanksgiving-week tailgate. (Spoiler: not turkey.)
