"Have you done your research on WHO I AM and what I HAVE DONE? You are [kind of] talking to Ghandi about Peace." -- Steven

And no, I do did not "know who I am!"

We are all suseptible to being arrogant. It is part of the human condition and we are all flawed.

However, we can fix it quickly when we are present in mind.

Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility value others above yourselves.

"Why don't you give it a chance, Man..." Wichita by the Adler Brothers

The Adler Brothers Conor and Patrick are from a very talented family. They represent 2/3 of the band the Adler Brothers who have a brand new hit out anywhere that you get your music streaming called Wichita. It's a joy for me to announce this song written by Conor.

Conor came to Wichita USA from Chicago and all you have to do is listen to him talk for 10 seconds to know, he is certainly a man from Chicago. But he took a chance. He took a chance and was courageous enough to follow his dreams of working with Founders and helping them get there unique businesses off the ground. Conor has excelled working with NXTUS.io, company that invests in and mentors founders/entrepreneurs who's businesses are ready for primetime.

His brother Patrick not only has a beautiful voice, but is embarking on an entrepreneurial journey of his own as a professional golfer. It is certainly a difficult endeavor and one that is full of intense competition-- just like founding a company is. What a joy it is for me to talk to these two almost-Irish-citizen-Chicagoens who made their way to connect with Wichita, USA, and weave themselves into our own fabric of people who do difficult things at the highest level and working with entrepreneurs.

Check out the Adler Brothers on all social media platforms and wherever you stream your music. Look for their new album dropping November 7. I'm grateful to know that I can't wait to meet the final third of the trio.

"Dear Megan, You Got This!" -Megan Bailey

Rainbows United is an extraordinary organization that helps families and kids who need a little bit more guidance on helping through potential developmental difficulties. My friend Michelle Eastman spent her career thus far, dedicated to these families and these children. It is because of her that I've had the opportunity to experience what they do for people and how their lives are always changed for the better.

Megan Bailey is the beneficiary of Rainbows United. Now she is a 24 year-old young woman who graduated Magnum Cum Laude from the Wichita State University. She wants to share her story. She wants to share her voice: My life with a disability.
