No Title Needed is a podcast celebrating the passions that enrich everyone’s lives. This week, No Title Needed welcomed philanthropist Frank Basile for an interview that couldn’t be contained in one session.

Basile is a professional speaker, author, columnist, community volunteer, philanthropist, retired property management executive, and world traveler.

Basile and his wife Katrina have contributed to several organizations in a variety of fields. Among these are several to The Herron School of Art and Design, the Indianapolis Arts Center, the Phoenix Theatre, Storytelling Arts of Indiana, the Indiana Theatre Association, the Indiana Historical Society, and Basile Westfield Playhouse.

In 2020, Basile and his wife were presented with the Bicentennial Medal for their distinguished service to Indiana University. He has also received the Outstanding Philanthropist Award from the Association of Fundraising Professionals and the Spirit of Philanthropy Award from Indiana University.

Basile is a native of New Orleans and a graduate of Tulane University. He retired as the senior vice president of the Gene B. Glick Company, where he worked for 33 years. In addition to his philanthropy and community involvement, he has also presented over 1,400 speeches, written 14 books, and has authored more than 1,500 articles.

Listen in for Part 1 with Basile as Scott Osborne shares what a huge influence Basile had on his own life, how he overcame the panic of public speaking to go on to be on the debate team and succeed in future speaking situations, how he and his wife came to the conclusion to not put things off, such as travel, and enjoy those things in the here and now, and how he came to write one column for the Indianapolis Business Journal that grew into decades of writing for them, writing a travel column, and then writing 14 books.

Next week, tune in for Part 2 with Basile.

Plan to join No Title Needed every week as Scott Osborne and Cindy Collins welcome a new guest and explore what fuels people and passions beyond the 9-to-5 grind.

Each week, the podcast will be recorded inside Feinstein’s at Hotel Carmichael and air at 8 a.m. on Mondays. Follow the podcast on Facebook, Instagram, and on YouTube.
