On Today's Episode: Nate sits down with Leslie Nolte, the celebrated entrepreneur and artist behind the Nolte Performing Arts Academy, The James Theatre, and the forthcoming ICON Arts Academy high school in Iowa City, Iowa that will welcome its first boarding students in August of 2023.
Leslie shares how injuries forced her to reevaluate her career as a professional dancer, what she learned from her six months working for State Farm, and how, when she couldn’t find one for her in the area, she created her own opportunity. Leslie also explores the feeling of success when her name became a noun, how she navigates the struggle for balance in her life, and how she believes ICON Arts Academy will change lives and the Iowa arts landscape.
