ON THE DELO: Arizona Restaurant & Hospitality Stories

It was such a fun day getting to chat with V, my friend and my (at times) business advisor.  She has helped me through some of the roughest patches of my professional career.  It was important for me to share her story with you.  She is a lover of people, an outlier when it comes to how she runs her organization.  She has created a culture and an environment that anyone working there would feel like they are the best at what they do and that they have an equal say. 

I can't wait for you to hear her story !

Her amazing company can be found here!  https://thejamesagency.com/

Veronique founded The James Agency (TJA) in 2005 with the goal of creating an agency focused on open communication and transparency with clients and employees. Today, the award-winning, integrated agency specializes in consumer advertising, public relations and digital and continues to exemplify Veronique’s original vision.

Mike's bio below:

Michael Christensen has been in the construction industry since 1993. He began working as a residential framer in the suburbs of Chicago. Framing post and beam houses, as well as conventional framed homes, he quickly realized his true passion.

He owned a residential remodeling company for over 5 years. At the same time, he attended Northern Illinois University, where he earned a degree in engineering.

He had always dreamed of moving out west. He was immediately hired by a large, respected structural engineering firm in Arizona. While working at the firm, he also built spec homes after receiving his General Contractor’s license in 2002.

His job duties as a structural engineer included the structural design of residential homes up to 17,000 square feet and commercial buildings made of concrete, steel, wood, and masonry up to 3 stories. His duties also included structural building inspections in numerous city jurisdictions.

In 2004, he decided to follow his passion of building houses full time. His Midwest work ethic combined with his integrity, professionalism, and experience make the heart of his company, Peak One Builders. He enjoys the various challenges that come with building a new home. He listens to what a homeowner wants, and will do whatever it takes to bring their ideas to fruition. With his guidance, planning, and expertise, you can rest assured that you are in good hands from day one.

One major benefit of working with a small company, in addition to being treated like family, is the time you are able to spend directly with the builder. Whether a quick chat to go over minor details on the phone, or sitting down whenever needed to discuss changes, plans, or concerns, Peak One Builders will be available when it is most convenient for you.

Peak One Builders pay attention to detail, no matter how casual or extravagant the home they are building might be. Mike encourages ideas and input throughout the entire building process. He builds each home as if he were going to move in it himself. When asked what his favorite, and perhaps most overlooked aspect of design is, he will probably laugh and tell you ceilings. “A unique ceiling not only gives a great wow-factor, but it can also inspire people to think outside the box they may be living in within their own lives. Nothing brings me more satisfaction than creating a space where people can relax and be comfortable. It feels really great to know I had a part in that. A home shouldn’t be just a place to store your things, it should be a place where you want to spend your time.”

This is a story of a man that went from working in corporate America to being unemployed to going on a journey to find what he wanted to create for himself. 

Graduated from ASU - started working in what he thought would be his career.  To find out his passion was elsewhere and started his own non profit !

Lloyd is an amazing human with the biggest heart ever.  I hope you enjoy this and hear his passion for helping others and finding his groove in life and never giving up.  

He founded the Million Dollar Teacher project which is helping show teachers how much we love and appreciate them !  MDTproject.org please check out this organization.  They do a take a teacher to lunch program that is just beautiful and the teachers and sponsors really enjoy it. 

Million Dollar Teacher Project was established October 2016 as a mechanism to strengthen schools in Arizona.  The work of the organization revolves around the principle that the most cost-effective and sustainable way to improve schools is to direct more resources and support directly to the teaching profession so schools have the ability to attract great talent in to every classroom.  The mission of MDTP is to elevate the teaching profession through increased recognition, compensation and support.  Our vision is to create a world where every student is taught by a highly trained, qualified, understanding and engaged teacher.

Recognition, Compensation and Support are the three pillars that we develop community-centered, grassroots approaches around to push the needle forward in the teaching profession, schools and the education system.
