Sometimes we are called on to present with another member of our company. Or perhaps it's a leadership meeting and the company leaders are presenting together. Or, perhaps we're reporting on an event. It doesn't much matter the size of the group we are presenting to...what matters is how well prepared we are to "team teach". Here we talk about that with two Tero International trainers. Maureen Berger and Ben Crosby share some tips and insights into working together and making the communication...work.

They say, "print is dead" we don't think that is the case especially when the print is localized to the point that it becomes important to the audience it serves. Think specialty magazines and in this case the family of Iowa Living Magazines. Super hyper-local in 21 Iowa communities that studies find really work for the community and the advertisers. Here we visit with Jolene Goodman and Jay Mathes about the results and why you should know something about the Iowa Living Magazines.

The "trade war" yeah, we think we can call it that now...it wiped out any gains the Dow created in 2018. That story and the impact of the Fed rate hike may help you or hurt you. Depends on if you are a saver or doing some borrowing. Need a new axe? Fender has some deals. We've finally got some numbers as to the financial hit soybean farmers will suffer. Those stories and a conversation with Greg Edwards from Catch Des Moines and Des Moines Arts Festival Stephen King is in along with Chris Dahlquist who is not only an artist but teaches artists how to become better business people.

Seems they have some splainin to do. Those stories and the Markets are just a click away.
