Tuesday Jan 09, 2024
Coming up today some of the big business news headlines of the day along with a look at what happened on Wall Street. In addition, if you like history, you are in for an amazing conversation that comes from West Des Moines, Iowa. When we saw the presser we though it looked interesting but was really hyper-local. Were we...wrong. My guest is Gale Brubaker from the West Des Moines Historical Society and the story she weaves has its roots in the Abolitionist Movement of the 1800's and she even drops the name of John Brown. Good stuff! Also if you want to reach us on social media and if you're on Threads you can find us @Insight_On_Business. And you can hook up with us all day on Twitter or "X" @IOB_NewsHour and on Instagram. Facebook? Sure were there too. Here's what we've got for you today:

The future of AI may be in the hands of the court;
Speaking of legal issues we have an NRA update;
A story from our "You Can't Make This Stuff Up Department";
The World Bank sees economic troubles for the global economy;
The Wall Street Report;
More layoff news from Unity of San Francisco.
For the interview the astonishing story about the Jordan Family, a house built in 1850 that was part of the Underground Railroad and visits by abolitionist John Brown. I can tell you this is quite an amazing conversation with Gale Brubaker of the West Des Moines, Iowa Historical Society. To listen click this link.

West Des Moines Historical Society with Gale Brubaker
Tuesday Jan 09, 2024
Tuesday Jan 09, 2024
When we saw the presser about the West Des Moines Historical Society we thought this would be a very hyper-local story but it looked interesting and who doesn't want to help a non-profit reach a financial goal. Were we surprised, no shocked, that this turned out to be a national if not global story. Here you will meet Gale Brubaker a remarkable women who does just about everything for this group. Her knowledge base is amazing and what she says about the history of the Jordan House, it's first occupants and their dedication to abolishing slavery is remarkable. In addition Gail drops a serious name: abolitionist John Brown. Finally one thing she said has stuck with me since doing this interview, "We all make history everyday. We just don't think we do." Meet Gail Brubaker:

Being Forced to Change - The Restaurant Industry with Carl Wertzberger
Tuesday Apr 12, 2022
Tuesday Apr 12, 2022
We've all seen it and most of us have been deeply impacted. We're talking about change. There has been massive adjustments in how and where we work. What we wear, what we eat and where we eat. The restaurant industry has not been immune. Here, in a wide ranging conversation, restauranter Carl Wertzberger talks about overcoming supply chain issues, menu pricing, work flow and using technology to enhance the customer experience. Even though his restaurant Gilroy's Kitchen + Pub + Patio is located in West Des Moines, Iowa what he shares is an amazing story of change in an industry that has had to adjust to stay alive and...expand.
Thanks for coming by!

The Black & Brown Business Summit is happening April 20 & 21.
