Click through to listen to this conversation with Ned Flynn of Aureon HR. He will offer fact based tips and ideas that will increase your revenue stream by 2.5%. No...really.

He is one of our favorite people to interview. Recently former Maryland governor Martin O'Malley was in Iowa stumping for a host of Democrats seeking election to the Iowa Statehouse and to the U.S. Congress. We caught up with him as he was helping Iowa House candidate Heather Matson in Ankeny. We start the conversation talking about the economy, Wall Street, wages and then work into a discussion as to why he believes the right way to build the future of the Democratic Party is to work hard for candidates not at the top of the ballot.

He is the first Democratic candidate to announce a run for president in 2020. Congressman John K. Delaney (D-MD) has been in Iowa a number of times. On his most recent visit he cut out some time to talk with us about his candidacy, his story, his business world and his passion to build unity. Why is that important? In his words, "So we can actually get things done to benefit the American people." Have a listen...he makes a strong case.

It's really, really nice to be recognized by outsiders as being the best in your business. But, beyond the joy of winning an award is the reality of what that says to not only your competition, your team and your current and future customers/clients.

Action Coach Monte Wyatt has been in the businesss of executive coaching for 14 years but we wanted to know exactly what it is that he does? Is it wave a magic wand and "Presto!" a business person thrives? We asked those questions and more. Later we found out that he and the founder of Action Coach Brad Sugars are launching a new book called "Pulling Profits Out Of a Hat - Adding Zeros To Your Company Isn't Magic". And, Live2Lead DSM is coming on the 12th of October and a new person has been added to this international leadership event. So much to share...
