    “Full of Cents” – Business news, but better

    Loveland, Ohio – Loveland native Ricky Mulvey started reporting sports as an eighth-grade paid intern at Loveland Magazine. While at the newspaper he went on to do interviews and be a “Talking Head” at a Barack Obama campaign rally in Cincinnati, and a Joe Biden campaign rally in Milford. He did post-game reports and coach interviews at Loveland High School and kept readers abreast of the career of mixed-martial-artist, and National wrestling champion, Loveland’s Matt “The Hammer” Hamill.

    Mulvey has since graduated from Ohio State and has recently teamed up with David English from Lexington, now a resident of Downtown Cincinnati, to co-host their “Full of Cents” podcast that can be found on the sidebar of Loveland Magazine. The Full of Cents tag line is, “Business news is boring. Let’s make it interesting, fun, and understandable.” There are new episodes streaming every Tuesday and Thursday. Mulvey and English cut through the headlines and talk about how business news affects you.

    Ricky Mulvey is a stand-up comedian, radio producer, and a mid-range threat in any pick-up basketball game. Mulvey loves talking about saving money on tickets, business news, and how e-commerce changed inflation as we know it. He graduated with a finance degree from THE Ohio State University in 2018.

    David English is a Kentucky Wildcat, soccer fanatic, and a credentialed financial professional. He loves spending time with his wife, Amy, and tweeting at people who will probably not interact with him back.

     

    Loveland Magazine jumped at the chance to re-introduce Mulvey to our readers, introduce David English, and promote their podcast with a link where you can listen to Full of Cents right on our side-bar.

    Columnist Cassie Mattia invited English and Mulvey to the LOVELAND MAGAZINE TV studio to ask them why podcasts have become so popular, why people should trust what they say, and how they are making financial news interesting and fun.

    New episodes of Full of Cents stream every Tuesday and Thursday. Be sure to subscribe and you’ll never miss an episode!

    Loveland High School Event Wows Those Who Attended!

    Loveland, Ohio – After having to reschedule due to severe winter weather, Loveland High School finally hosted the 2019 State of the Schools event on March 20th. The event had so much success last year, the Loveland School District wanted to make sure the focus of the event was the same, which was to create an open house where students in all grades could show, through presentations, demonstrations, and displays, the learning that takes place around the district’s three core goals of growth, care, and innovation. The event is special in that it’s an event that is not only led by the students but actually showcases the students as well!

    The State of the Schools event was something that I had never experienced before this year. I had attended many school events in the past, however, I had an idea what to expect. To my very pleasant surprise, the event was nothing like I had expected! I was amazed by how many parents, teachers, and administrators were there supporting and watching their students shine. The hallways were filled with school spirit, creative learning displays, music, student art and of course, there were robots, as Loveland does have their own, might I add VERY successful, robotics team!

    I got the opportunity to talk to so many bright, young minds about what their displays represented and what teams/groups they were involved with at school and why. Watching each student I talked to, passionately explain to me what their cause was or what their display represented truly inspired me. It was great seeing an event focused on the kids for the kids to succeed.

    Loveland Magazine walked the halls and got some exclusive interviews with the students that made the event such a success! Watch the LOVELAND MAGAZINE TV videos below to see Loveland’s brightest students at the 2019 State of the Schools event talk to us about their displays!

    The Loveland Robotics Program exists to give students the opportunity to learn about science, technology, engineering, mathematics, communication, leadership and project management.

    This is our eighth year for Loveland Robotics. For the previous seven years we grew a very successful FTC Team (5040) “Nuts & Bolts”. In 2015, with the popularity of the robotics program having immensely grown at Loveland, we created a second FTC Team (10464) “The Bionic Tigers”. Each team consists of 13 members, with roles ranging from building the robot, programming it, and communications and outreach. This year has been the most successful year for the robotics program so far. Each team qualified for the Ohio FTC State Championship and achieved many awards.

    We also have a VEX robotics program, Team 10565. It consisted of four members originally and has since grown exponentially, allowing for four more VEX teams to be created, 10565 A, B, C, D, and E.
