Author, Livestock Illustrator and Ranch Hand meet CJ Brown

Monday Mar 04, 2024
Recently we attended the Iowa Cattlemen's Beef Expo at the Iowa State Fairgrounds. We were there to visit with cattle producers and take in the trade show. One of the booths that caught our attention was filled with very detailed images of farm and ranch scenes. So fine that, at first we thought they were photographs. But, no...it is art work created by the very talented livestock illustrator CJ Brown. CJ not only creates these amazing portraits but she also writes books and loves to talk about beef production in the U.S. You can see her work here but first, listen to her story.

McKee, Voorhees & Sease - 100 Years of Service
Friday Jan 12, 2024
Friday Jan 12, 2024
This happens to us all the time. Someone sends out a press release, and we read them all, but far too often the story is so hyper-local that it doesn't match our national newscast goals. This presser was about a Des Moines, Iowa based law firm that is celebrating 100 years doing patent law. About five lines in we saw that McKee, Voorhees & Sease (MVS) has clients in 160 countries in areas of technology, industries, pharmaceuticals and many more. All of a sudden this is no hyper-local story and we signed on. Here you will meet Luke Mohrhauser the Managing Partner of MVS with what, we thought, was a brilliant conversation about a host of issues surrounding protecting intellectual property, threats, copywrite infringement and more. Yep, we sorta geeked out on this. Let's go!
