Last year when my friend, journalist and entrepreneur, Julie Gammack called to invite me to attend the Okoboji Writers Retreat I was happy to say "Yes!". I figured that maybe 50 writers, speakers, creators might show up. Uhm...I was wrong. Over 120 folks showed up to listen, learn and get motivated to create. Now it's time for the Okoboji Writers Retreat 2.0 and it's a big deal. Here Julie will explain what to expect and some of the folks who will be attending. And she leaves us with a tease of something else she is working on. Listen in and consider joining us in September. Oh and this is NOT a stuffy event...we have a blast!

You're about to meet keynote speaker, executive coach and author Justin Patton who understands what it's like to misunderstand potential but better yet...how to regroup and come back as a leader who isn't afraid to communicate with honesty and love with passion. I sat down with Justin for this wide ranging conversation when he appeared at the Central Iowa Business Conference in May of 2022. This is some, seriously, good stuff!

Off mic he said to me, "I'm going to share with you what ails so many businesses, families and our nation and it can be wrapped up in two words, financial literacy." Meet Jack Stack: businessman, author, keynote speaker who, in the next several minutes, will share with you how you can build a thriving business by getting everybody on board...and it's not done by holding hands and singing Kumbaya. No, his tried and true method is to get everybody from the line worker to HR to engineering to marketing to the front office to better understand what's going on "inside the numbers" and how they can play a part in creating productivity and profit. And, it not only can help businesses but also families and that, he says, will cure so many of our nation's ills. Strap in for Jack Stack.
