Tonight, we’re celebrating three incredible years of bringing jazz, blues, and soul to life at . Our jazz lounge, , was built to honor our community’s rich jazz history and create a space where the music always comes first—and we’ve been blessed to see that vision come to life.

Every performance, connection, and moment so far in this room is, to me, proof of how powerful this music and this community really are.

To the amazing artists who’ve brought their gifts to our stage, every member of the audience who’s made Lucille’s a home, and my team that works hard to make it all happen—you’ve each made this place what it is: Toledo's premiere live music venue.

Here’s to keeping jazz alive, inspiring the next generation, and building something real for our city. Toledo’s always been a jazz town, and we’re just getting started. 🎷❤️

Tonight, we celebrate with Keller, Kocher, and Company. Let’s toast to the music, the memories, and what’s still ahead. 🥂

With gratitude,
Will

It’s rare sitting on the other side of the interview. I’m used to being the host, but I knew one day I’d get to be the guest. And, to be the guest on stage in LA no less, makes it even more special. I grew up dreaming about being on a stage in this town - that people would show up to see me. And it feels better than I imagined. They treated me well, too. The crew was attentive, the green room was stocked, and the seats were full. 75 tickets available, but 300 people wanting them. A waiting list. To say it’s humbling doesn’t say enough. But, I’m very thankful.

I’m a kid from Toledo, Ohio who started podcasting in my basement (I still record there occasionally). I have incredible teams at Creadio and TolHouse - both growing enterprises which I founded, get to be part of an amazing team at Blavity, Afrotech and produce + host Black Tech Green Money, and wanted to hear my story.

All this and more is possible, I’m a witness.

Thank you Yo Quiero Dinero: Personal Finance For Latinas and Austin Hankwitz for being gracious hosts who do their research!

Had a fantastic opportunity to rejoin , this time for a LIVE broadcast from . I was on for the first time back in 2021, and to get the call to come back is a blessing. When I tell y’all I’m living out my dreams, I’m hopeful it encourages you. I get to have a global impact with work that is mission-aligned for me, all from a corner in Ohio where so many don’t think any of this is possible. But I promise you, it is when you believe.

This is a gift, and I’m honored to be walking in it.

Super thankful for the 3 people who keep passing the mic to me and trusting that I’ll continue to help make technology and financial information more accessible to our community. Morgan DeBaun, Dollie S. Bishop, and Charlamagne Tha God - forever grateful.

December 2019 I wrote a personal manifesto which would outline what kind of impact I wanted my life to have, and how each of my efforts would fit that mission. Having that focus allows me to audit opportunities against it. So, I only do things that help me achieve the goal.

When I got focused on what mattered most to me at the level that it was clear enough I could write it down on paper, everything else started to fall in line.

Each week on Black Tech Green Money and at every Afrotech, you can hear and see me working in my purpose, talking to others who are working in theirs.
