It was a whirlwind trip to Ohio this week celebrating, and learning from, businesses in a few towns outside Columbus. The people in Newark and Bowling Green have pride in their hometowns and are dedicated to their businesses. No doubt they give their all to what they do. Thank you to our partners, our hosts and the professionals who made each session a success.

In today’s LUNCH podcast episode, Long Standing Lunches & Small Friendly Grudges, you’ll hear from my pal Neil – a friend and colleague who I’ve shared lots of fun and work experiences with, often at the same time!
