We recently received a press release from Common Good Iowa, and to be honest we had not heard about them. The presser was about a November vote on a Constitutional Amendment and urging citizens to vote no. We were interested in the story and invited Kylie Spies to sit down and explain the issue.  We think it's one that not many Iowans know about so we dive in.  Meet Kylie.

One of the long-term sponsors of Insight on Business has been Tero International. Last month we wrote some scripts, submitted them for edits and sat down with Emily Lang the Learnings Program Manager to do the recording.  That first attempt wasn't up to our standards so in August we went back in with different equipment and that resulted in a much better set.  Thanks Emily and thank you Tero for your continued support!
