Live from Studio D, Charlie interviews Joe Poeschl, Executive Director of the Milwaukee Tech Hub Coalition. They talk about his Milwaukee roots, dual degrees at Marquette and MIAD, and his work co-founding the Commons and growing the regional tech ecosystem. They discuss the Coalition’s role in Wisconsin Tech Month, innovation districts, and building inclusive tech-powered economic growth across southeast Wisconsin. The episode highlights community partnerships and strategies to attract and retain talent. The show closes with a hands-on cookie-decorating segment where Joe shares a family sugar cookie recipe, demonstrates royal icing and decorating tips, and invites the audience to participate and taste the results.
