Student Loans and Educated Choice - Meet Steve McCullough
Monday Jul 11, 2022
Monday Jul 11, 2022
There is so much more to learn about getting and then paying back a student loan. What are the options? The interest rate? What help is available? How can the parents and the student better understand their choices and what's smart. Oh, and is the lender a non-profit? Meet Steve McCullough from ISL Education Lending where those questions are all asked and answered. Our best advice is to share this conversation with those you know that may be headed off to a college, university or trade school. Information is critical for the future of the student and...family. A reminder that you can follow along with us all day on Twitter @IOB_NewsHour and on Instagram.

Thursday Jun 30, 2022
It's said that one of the most devastating things a person can say about another (or yourself) is that he or she failed to live up to their...potential. 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!

Financial Literacy - Building a Better Nation, Business & Family with Jack Stack
Thursday Jun 02, 2022
Thursday Jun 02, 2022
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.
