  • It was a scary Halloween on Wall Street and we'll kick that story out first. Also a bit of something unique. While most kids in the U.S. Trick or Treat on Halloween that's not been the case here in Iowa for decades. You see, back in 1938 some kids wandered around tipping over outhouses and so the decision was made to move trick or treating to "Beggars Night" which it the night BEFORE Halloween. (Like that might slow outhouse tipping.) Odd...we know. However because heavy storms raced through the Greater Des Moines Metro yesterday the night to Trick or Treat is actually tonight. It's a win for traditionalists. But please, no outhouse tipping...which is pretty impossible because we don't have them.

  • Every business owner we talk with, and we talk with hundreds each year, tell us they are desperate for high quality, valuable and engaged employees. And then there are the job seekers who have trouble landing a job because their ability to communicate and engage is lacking. Why not fix both of those issues? Today you'll meet Alison Haider the Chief Learning Officer at Tero International. Here we talk about how much more expensive it is to recruit vs. retaining top level workers. We also invite those of you who know your lacking those interpersonal skills to do something about it. In other words, we solve two serious labor issues. It all makes sense to us.
