There's Just Something About Kansas City

  • Resumen

  • “There’s just something about Kansas City.”™ It may be the most-heard phrase from those who are from here, those who have come here, & those who have chosen to stay. It’s a sense of pride, of camaraderie, of community and comfort. A sense of small-town, back-patio warmth brimming with growth, innovation and potential. A sense of zero degrees of separation in a city of champions. For each of us, that “something” is a story crafted through years of experiences, big and small, that have planted the Heart of America so deeply in our own. Join legendary Kansas City sports broadcaster Frank Boal each week for deep, down-to-earth conversations with some of this town’s most legendary residents, both natives and transplants, and hear what it is about Kansas City that just keeps calling them home.

  • Madi Lamb: Building Community through the Quarter Life Club
    Apr 15 2025

    Madi Lamb is a Kansas City native & the founder of Quarter Life Club, a social club for helping twentysomethings “in the mood to meet people” connect in a meaningful way.

    At 25, Madi hit the dreaded “quarter life crisis”. She was having trouble meeting people, and she quickly discovered she wasn’t the only one. Thanks in part to the distance that stemmed from covid and remote work, many in her generation seemed to be struggling to build community.

    Madi decided to do something about it. Both inspired & disenchanted by dating apps, she began hosting casual meetups for others looking to connect. 500 members and 4 cities later, the Quarter Life Club has taken off and is sparking friendships, relationships, and meaningful connections all over the country — with Kansas City’s club leading the way.

    We’re joined by Madi’s KC Advocate, Brandon Krekel, who works at the KC Chamber of Commerce and shares how Madi’s vision and the QLC is impacting small businesses all over the region.
