Coming up today some of the big business news headlines of the day along with a look at what happened on Wall Street. In addition, if you like history, you are in for an amazing conversation that comes from West Des Moines, Iowa. When we saw the presser we though it looked interesting but was really hyper-local. Were we...wrong. My guest is Gale Brubaker from the West Des Moines Historical Society and the story she weaves has its roots in the Abolitionist Movement of the 1800's and she even drops the name of John Brown. Good stuff! Also if you want to reach us on social media and if you're on Threads you can find us @Insight_On_Business.

Recently we were on assignment in Phoenix, Arizona and had the opportunity to visit with several folks who were attending the annual meeting of the group, Independent Distributors Association. Think heavy construction equipment and parts. While there we were able to reconnect with Willem Cornelisse the Managing Director of Cornelisse Trading a firm located in The Netherlands. Here we talk about a movement that started in Europe to ban a substance used in the manufacturing of nearly everything on the planet. The issue is that there is not yet a replacement substance and the damage would be huge to the manufacturing industry. Oh, the things you learn. Meet our friend Willem.
