Season 2 of Earn It kicks off with a conversation that perfectly captures what this show is all about: building success through hard work, relationships and giving back to the local community.

In this episode, Jen is joined by longtime Adler PR client and friend, Kirk McClure, a construction industry leader at JE Dunn Construction and founder of two golf-focused ventures – Stadium Classic and 3Ten.

Kirk shares his path into the construction industry, how he carved out a niche in new business development, and what his client solutions role at JE Dunn entails. He also opens up about what it’s like to balance a demanding full-time career while building and scaling two side businesses, both related to his passion for golf. With Stadium Classic around the corner, this timely episode dives into how Kirk has grown the annual event into one of the Valley’s most unique and impactful charity golf tournaments supporting deserving nonprofits.

Throughout the conversation, Kirk and Jen discuss leadership, lessons learned along the way, the power of community involvement, and the effectiveness of PR for both large corporate organizations and mission-driven nonprofits.

This episode is a must-listen for professionals who want to grow their careers, entrepreneurs building something on the side, and anyone who believes success is more meaningful when it’s used to make a difference.

In this Season 1 finale of Earn It, Jen is joined by Adler PR client, Adam Strecker, CEO and founding partner of Hi Noon Hospitality, the locally-owned restaurant group behind Valley favorites Buck & Rider, Ingo’s Tasty Food, and its newest concept, Pinyon Coastal Mediterranean.

Born and raised in New Orleans, Adam’s passion for food started early and was shaped by his love of fishing, cooking, and hospitality. After joining the military to pay for college, he earned a degree in Hospitality Management from the University of New Orleans and went on to spend a decade with Hillstone Restaurant Group before joining LGO Hospitality. Over 15 years with LGO, Adam rose to Partner, COO, and President, while co-founding Buck & Rider and Ingo’s along the way.

In this episode, Adam shares how a relentless commitment to quality, consistency, and craft has guided every stage of his career, from opening a single restaurant to thoughtfully scaling multiple concepts without cutting corners. He discusses the discipline required to grow a local restaurant group, why design details and service standards matter just as much as the menu, and how Hi Noon Hospitality continues to build brands that stand the test of time.

If you’re an entrepreneur or aspiring restaurateur, this episode is packed with wisdom gained from decades of working in all aspects of the restaurant industry and offers a behind-the-scenes look at what is required to create standout restaurant concepts. This conversation with Adam is another lesson in what it takes to earn long-term success and is an amazing listen to close out 2025 and the first season of this podcast.
