In the episode, Fred and Danny discuss how Fred's experience growing up at his Dad's bar formed his understanding of food insecurity and the path that led him to Gleaners, a nationwide leader in the fight against hunger. About Fred:  Fred Glass is a prominent Indianapolis attorney and civic leader who has served his city and state in a variety of ways.   On October 1, 2022, he became the president and chief executive officer of Gleaners Food Bank, the largest food bank in Indiana and one of the leading food banks in the national Feeding America network.   An attorney, Fred has practiced at two of the city’s most prominent law firms: Baker and Daniels (now Faegre Drinker) and more recently Taft. He served as Chief of Staff to Indiana Governor Evan Bayh. He served as president of the Capital Improvement Board where he led successful negotiations to keep the Colts in Indianapolis, regularly host NCAA Final Fours, develop what became Lucas Oil Stadium, and dramatically expand the Indiana Convention Center. Fred also led the effort for Indianapolis to host the Super Bowl, laying the groundwork for its successful 2012 bid.   He served as vice president and athletic director for his alma mater, Indiana University, from 2009 through its Bicentennial Year in 2020. There he led a cultural and physical rebuilding of the athletic department.  Fred’s book, published in 2021 titled Making Your Own Luck: From a Skid Row Bar to Rebuilding Indiana University Athletics, is a powerful story focusing on personal empowerment and values-based leadership. Fred writes movingly about his father’s efforts to feed the hungry at his bar, including a young Fred and his family having holiday dinners at the bar with patrons who had nowhere else to go.   He and his wife Barbara live in Indianapolis and have four children and five grandchildren.
