Your ability to connect with good information is critical, especially in the world we live in today. Entrepreneurs and Business-people require access to good information including business fundamentals. There are more than 30 million small business owners in the United States with that group representing almost 65% of new private sector jobs. Its important to have an ally. The Wichita Independent Business Association is that ally for South Central Kansas Business Owners and Entrepreneurs. Wendell Funk, President of WIBA, went on offense to connect with this group so we can collaborate, be better leaders and lift access and opportunity for all through the best private solution in history-- Private Enterprise.

"Tell the truth or the consequences will be worse!" Said any Leader in my life from the very beginning. I trusted the Leaders in my life as a boy. I knew they were looking out for my best interests. And as an adult we should possess that same trust— but we don't. We have found out too many times that bad leaders act in self interest and will say whatever needs to be said to fit their Agenda, without Consequence to them and with awful consequences for the American People. And so my friend Dr. Dix comes back on the ictpodcast.com to discuss this place we are in and how each of us can thrive, despite confusion and pathetic leadership. Here is a hint— Individual Responsibility.

Kyle is an entrepreneur. I know that not because of the business he owns and runs or because of the multitude of things he does that are difficult things or the discipline he has to continue to excel at those difficult things; it's because his Dad owns a business and instead of working for him and perhaps taking that business over one day— he just started his own business. That is a sense of urgency. That's what an entrepreneur has.

You need to understand the enormous amount of energy it takes in this country, in this world for all of us to live. Energy need/consumption is a complicated issue. All forms of energy are important today and into the future. People need energy to improve their place in life. Reliable, affordable energy is crucial for us all and especially for lower socio-economic status. Kansas Strong was created to educate people about this and many other energy issues. I am grateful for the work Warren Martin does. He is communicating the importance of reliable energy for quality of life.

Embrace their ambition to lead— This is The Thread, Audran Dinell

Stephen Covey wrote, "Find your voice by helping others find theirs." Audra began her journey to create The Thread and this is exactly what she was doing— finding her voice by helping other dynamic women find their's. This is not to say that the wide range of incredibly talented women who weaved The Thread didn't have a voice— they most certainly have strong voices. What Audra Dinell creates is an opportunity to open parts of your brain/heart so that others can help those ideas that we might be too scared, busy, unaware, unwilling, insecure, incapable to share. Running a business and being an entrepreneur is a difficult endeavor. The Thread presents a tremendous advantage to have strong, dynamic Women that you can trust around to shake out those ideas, be vulnerable and grow in every way. That's what makes a difference in this world.

Antioch Med offers you a chance to take charge of you health. Be proactive and your life will improve.
