On this fantastic episode of the I Love Madison Show, the guys prepare to capture all the inspiration and energy of the Madison Ironman, The MKE misfits make an appearance at the second ILM Meetup, and the last battle to find Madison’s best fish fry rages on! This episode also highlights several local events coming up, including networking events, meetups and training for business leaders looking to increase their footprint online!

“You Are An Ironman!”

The IRONMAN Wisconsin continues to be one of the best in the world, and this year was no exception! Over 2,500 athletes headed out on a daylong adventure to swim 2.4 miles, bike 112 miles and run a full 26.2 marathon, all to hear “YOU ARE AN IRONMAN” at the iconic finish line in Downtown Madison. Neil pointed out that the people who show up to support the athletes are just as inspiring as the athletes themselves, so he and Caleb decided to capture the buzz on the Vlog!

The MKE Misfits made an appearance at the ILM meetup #2!

This month, the ILM team hosted the second I Love Madison Meetup at the AC Hotel! They were joined by Quentin Allums and the MKE misfits, a group of LinkedIn influencers, Videographers, and storytellers from Milwaukee. The purpose of these events is to connect community members to each other, to local businesses and to new ideas! If you want a taste of what this event was like, make sure you check out the ILM Vlog where Neil and Caleb captured all the action!
