President's Message: We Are Made of Strong Stuff

I’m sure you have heard it by now. But over the weekend a new song (some might say a working man’s anthem) and a virtually unknown singer vaulted to the front of our consciousness thanks to at least one redeeming quality of social media, the fact that good people from relative obscurity can become folk heroes overnight.

I just took a trip with my son to do some fishing and sightseeing in Montana.  We fished the Big Horn River and then did a fly fishing float on the Yellowstone River. It was a welcome time to refresh, re-focus, and re-energize.

Chairman’s Message: Independence

Posted by Chris Means on 7/6/23 1:00 PM

I hope you all had a wonderful “4th of July”! I’m using quotation marks to emphasize what I hear most people say these days. But how often do you hear anyone say “Happy Independence Day”? How many people remember celebrating the day of our independence from the British rule of law? Because of this the name is important, for it reminds us we are a nation of independent people. When the day becomes just a number, the holiday is nothing more than a big picnic and party day. I’m amazed how many of my patriotic friends fail to greet others with Happy Independence Day! Independence is such an important characteristic that it needs to recognized and encouraged by leaders of business, family and sports.

President's Message: Clear the Weeds

Posted by Kenyon Gleason on 6/15/23 8:28 AM

If you farm or garden, or even if you just spend a lot of time taking care of your lawn, you’ve probably shared a few choice words for the weeds. They come out of nowhere, and everywhere. You can spend days, weeks or months trying to grow vegetables, crops or grass and sometimes have very little success. But the weeds, well, they always seem to find a way to grow.

Chairman’s Message: Friendships

Posted by Chris Means on 5/3/23 1:56 PM

A few months back I wrote about relationships in terms of how you can use them to bring value to your work, home and spiritual life.  Today I want to explore how friendships can impact our professional and personal relationships now and for years to come.  I’m looking at this from the viewpoint of how my career has rewarded me with “friendships”, in addition to “relationships” that bring value to a business.

President's Message: Stay Noisy

Posted by Kenyon Gleason on 4/17/23 2:56 PM

I’m not sure who said it, or said it first, but maybe you’ve heard the phrase about noise being like a stench in the ear. When you smell something bad, you know it.
