Monday Jan 29, 2024
Monday Jan 29, 2024
Recently while covering the National Tractor Parts Dealer Association (NTPDA) Annual Conference and Trade Show held, this year, in San Diego I was able to take in a presentation by author and speaker Garrison Wynn. He offered those who attended a master class on leadership, influencing people and generational differences in the workplace. Garrison started his stage career as a standup comic but now, for 28 years, he speaks on a number of serious business topics but you can see a bit of that standup sneak through. We talked about that and more in this conversation. Meet Garrison Wynn.

When we saw the presser about the West Des Moines Historical Society we thought this would be a very hyper-local story but it looked interesting and who doesn't want to help a non-profit reach a financial goal. Were we surprised, no shocked, that this turned out to be a national if not global story. Here you will meet Gale Brubaker a remarkable women who does just about everything for this group. Her knowledge base is amazing and what she says about the history of the Jordan House, it's first occupants and their dedication to abolishing slavery is remarkable. In addition Gail drops a serious name: abolitionist John Brown. Finally one thing she said has stuck with me since doing this interview, "We all make history everyday. We just don't think we do." Meet Gail Brubaker:
