Glenn Funk balances safety and social justice in his role as Nashville District Attorney.

The Nashville District Attorney was sworn in nearly a decade ago. Nashville’s daily prison population is about half of what it was before he took office.

The second term elected official says reducing incarceration increases rehabilitation and saves metro money — $45 million a year by his estimate.

Funk discusses some positive legislative changes from the 2024 session, including Jillian's Law, homelessness and much more in this episode of Climbing the Charts.

The Nashville Chamber of Commerce is the front door to the region’s business ecosystem. Ralph Schulz is the guide.

The CEO has overseen the organization since 2006, steering it through the city’s explosive growth. During his 18-year tenure, the median salary in Nashville has increased by more than 50-percent, city’s skyline has reached new heights and major corporations like Amazon and Oracle have set up shop here.

In this episode of Climbing the Charts, Schulz shares how business and politics have shaped Music City’s entrepreneurial ecosystem.

Four years ago, Burke Nihill ran across a job listing on LinkedIn: General Counsel for the Tennessee Titans. He applied, but he didn’t think he would be drafted.

His sports “experience” included dreaming of “wanting to be the third baseman for the Chicago Cubs” and declining an offer to play basketball at a Division 3 College.

Nonetheless, Nihill won owners over. 4 promotions and 8 seasons later, the former OfficeMax attorney turned Titan’s CEO is quarterbacking the organization through its most watched season — the construction of a new Nissan stadium.

Slated to open in 2027, the 60,000 seat, enclosed arena is estimated to cost nearly $2.1 billion.

In this episode of Climbing the Charts, the CEO delves into the design of the stadium and how its experiences will bring more than a Super Bowl to this city.
