#100 - Kevin Cooper, VP of Communications & Strategic Initiatives with Mote Aquarium

This week, we’re celebrating the 100th episode of the Sarasota SpeaX Podcast.  And what better way to do it than by discussing one of the newest experiences that will be opening in Sarasota, very shortly.  We sit down with the VP of Communications & Strategic Initiatives, Kevin Cooper to learn all about Mote’s past, and what’s to come.  We get a chance to learn more about the work that Mote has been engaged with to learn about the waterways, and the life within it, as well as what we can expect from the new aquarium that will open to the public later this year.As always, we bring things back to Sarasota, getting Kevin’s thoughts on the roundabouts as well as sending him through the Rapid-Fire Gauntlet.You can also follow Mote Marine Laboratory & Aquarium on Instagram at:https://www.instagram.com/motemarinelabFor additional information on Mote, visit them online at:https://mote.org/**************The Sarasota SpeaX Podcast is hosted by:Bradley Hannon, Insurance Agency Owner and Entrepreneurhttps://www.bradhannon.comFelipe Colón, Partner/Investment Advisor for Sanderling Partnershttps://www.sanderlingpartners.com/Trey Martell, Owner of Strong Roofing SRQhttps://www.strongroofingsrq.comYou can follow the Sarasota SpeaX team on Instagram Brad Hannon - https://www.Instagram.com/b_hannonHost Trey Martell - https://www.Instagram.com/treypod3Host Felipe Colon - https://www.Instagram.com/fjc424Producer Eric (E-Dub) Hollister - https://www.Instagram.com/elhollister************************Sarasota SpeaX is a hyper-local podcast that will feature the incredible entrepreneurs, leaders and personalities that make Sarasota, and the greater surrounding area, tick.
