If you live in the East Valley, the first twenty minutes of today’s podcast are going to be a pure history lesson from none other than Chandler Local Legend Bill Ryan. His family history dates back to the OG days of Arizona, and the stories about those people are fascinating. We also chat about his new restaurant adventure in Apache Junction, the Rusty Buckle.
The next segment gets a lot more serious as we sit down with Detective Heidi Chance. Detective Chance is a law enforcement professional who has served 27 years. Heidi spent over 13 years working as an undercover detective investigating buyers and traffickers and rescuing countless adult and juvenile victims of sex trafficking. She’s here today to help us understand this terrible situation and what we can be on the lookout for as average citizens. With awareness comes power!

Welcome to another snappy episode of the Move the Needle podcast. Today, we have unexplained ’90s vibes. The truth is that we’re live from Rock Lobster, which makes us think of the song "The B52s," so there’s that.
Today, we have a full plate of sushi and two of Arizona’s gems stopping by. First, those familiar with PHX Business Radio X will know Karen Nowicki. She’s recently sold that business and is stepping into her next adventure soon. Connect with Karen here.
Then State 48 CEO Mike Spangenberg drops by with all kinds of goodies. Mathew and Mike talk about their time together at the Special Olympics, and we learn a valuable lesson about hats courtesy of Steve Petz. Finally, we learn about the next phase of State 48 and how easy it is to work with them for your nonprofit. Reach out to Mike here, or head to State 48 here.
