The world was caught off guard today as what Russia said and what Russia did were two different things. Yesterday the Russians said they would scale back their attack on Ukraine but it seems they lied as the shelling of civilian targets continued. That had an impact on the markets. And, stick around for the interview with Jill Watkins and Jourdan McChesney from EntreFEST this year in Iowa City.
New COVID cases climb in Canada;
Russia lies and the markets react;
Sen. Joe Manchin takes a swing at taking wealth;
Pizza, gotta love it. We have a list of the best;
That Applebee's executive about wage cutting...an update;
Russian oil tankers are disappearing no, really;
The Wall Street Report;
Guess who may be filling your next prescription?

The end of another work week for many of you and we've got lots of amazing stories for you today. And, make sure you click ahead for the conversation with Kylie Gottschalk a new hire at Tero International. We call this segment "Bust to Trust" and it touches on the importance of being tuned in when doing a job interview. Here's what we've got for the news:
A wild day on Wall Street and why;
High gas prices...the fault of President Biden?

They can cut wages for their employees.

From Bust to Trust Meet Kylie Gottschalk - Tero International

Over the past fifteen years I have had the opportunity to interview thousands of business people. Every so often we come up on an unexpected story line and the interview just clicks. This is one of those times. Before I met Kylie Gottschalk I assumed we would talk about her new role as a Tero Trainer but the more I heard, the story evolved. This turned into a lesson on how important it is for a company to really tune into the possibilities you're hearing in that interview process. Something Tero International did and the result is amazing.
