Telling Your Business Story Matters with Eric Grant
Thursday Feb 08, 2024
Thursday Feb 08, 2024
While in Orlando for the National Cattlemen's Beef Association Annual Meeting and Trade Show we met a man who tells stories. More direct, he tells the story of businesses large and small. Eric Grant and Brian Bell founded The Grant Company in 2017 for the purpose of helping business owners find and tell their story because it matters to consumers. Often, Eric says, owners really don't know their story or think their story doesn't matter. However, the Grant Company uses many tools from video to still images the spoken and written word to dive deep into the corporate history and paint a true picture...one that resonates with consumers. We truly "geeked-out" on this conversation because in our other life as a marketing and ad agency we totally get what Eric is doing. Once you hear this...you'll get it as well. Meet the master story teller, Eric Grant.

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.

Ringing the Peace Bell with Yoko Tanaka

Monday Jan 01, 2024
This was an amazing experience. Several days before New Years Eve 2023 we saw a presser about the Japan America Society of Iowa and a gathering at the Yamanashi Peace Bell which is located near the Iowa Supreme Court Building, next to the Shattered Glass Sculpture. This bell was a gift of gratitude from the Yamanashi Prefecture to honor all of Iowa for assisting that state to get back on its feet following a devastating 1959 typhoon that impacted its hog industry. My guest is Yoko Tanaka the Executive Director of the Japan America Society of Iowa who explains what we were doing early in the morning of the last day of 2023...and in freezing weather.
