It’s been a difficult few months in our country when it comes to violence, especially political violence. And it’s truly unfortunate because we are better than this. There have been far too many horrific events in our country where people have resorted to violence resulting in the loss of innocent life, including right here in Minnesota.

It’s time for us all to do better. The hate and especially the violence needs to stop. It doesn’t matter if it’s political violence, a shooting at a school, a place of worship, or a youth sporting event. It doesn’t matter if it’s racism or antisemitism. We are better than this. Killing innocent people is not acceptable and it’s certainly not something that should be celebrated.

Welcome to the Season 2 premier of the Scrap Guys Solutions podcast!

"It's not what you know or who you know, it's who knows you?" Jeremy received this advice about 25 years ago and in this episode, he provides some real-life examples of why it's so important to build relationships, expand your network, and most importantly, leave a positive impression with people you meet.

Ask yourself, when someone is hiring for an important position within a company, or when someone is looking to fill a board seat for a local non-profit, are they going to recruit you? Next time time you meet someone new, make sure to leave a positive impression because you never know when you might meet them again in the future, ow when you might need them for something in the future, or they might need you for something in the future.

Introduction: I hope you had an awesome Thanksgiving! There is so much to be thankful for, including family, friends, and the greatest country in the world!

This is a quick tip episode to encourage you to take some You Time. Find a minimum of 3 minutes of quiet time everyday single day where you can reflect, pray, visualize, meditate, or do some breathing exercises. If you have more than 3 minutes, that’s even better yet. The important thing is that you find some quite time where you can be alone and uninterrupted. You will feel better and more prepared for the day ahead.

Take a moment to imagine the unimaginable. Imagine being told that your three year old child has a rare disease that will very likely result in death. You can slow the progression of the disease, but unfortunately it’s too late for any type of treatment to cure the disease or stop the progression. This unimaginable situation was the new reality for Nick & Shanna Quimby and ultimately resulted in the devastating loss of their son Gavin when he was five.

They turned this unimaginable and devastating situation into a mission to help other families facing something similar. Their tireless efforts have led to the expansion of the newborn screening list and the Minnesota Rare Disease Advisory Council. But they won’t stop until their dream of getting MLD added to the newborn screening list is fulfilled. They also started the Gavin Quimby Research Fund at the University of Minnesota to support research and gene therapy for kids. If interested, you can donate to the Gavin Quimby Research Fund by mailing a check to the address below. Miller Scrap & Disposal is also making a donation to the Gavin Quimby Research Fund for every new customer who signs up for Miller Disposal's local trash service during the month of November.

Nick and Shanna's efforts in memory of their son Gavin are already helping save lives here in Minnesota and across the country.
