Your Biz, Your Town – January Edition

Share This Post:

So we are a little behind on our posting of this month’s Your Biz, Your Town…luckily we can not include a link to the entire podcast, so you won’t miss a thing!

As always we had some phenomenal guests on this month’s show. It always warms my heart to hear about all the amazing neighborhood organizations and businesses dedicated to strengthening our business climate, offering much-needed services to a certain population and making an impact on our community on a regular basis.This past Friday we welcomed the following great businesses to Your Biz, Your Town.

LINC is an organization dedicated to revitalizing neighborhoods through authentic engagement, economic development, expansion of housing opportunities, creating affordable housing, and developing leadership and capacity of residents and grass-root organizations.  They are currently in the process of expanding their business incubator to grow more neighborhood businesses. To find out more about the services they offer and the space they have contact Jorge Gonzalez at jo***@*****ev.org.
Did you know that local security company, DK Security has been hired to provide armed security services at six military installations around the state? Pretty cool, huh? Now, all of us at 834 are pretty big supporters of all branches of our armed forces (Oorah! My dad is a Marine, and damn proud of it) and so is DK. They are a Service Disabled Veteran owned company that runs a veteran recruiting program offering jobs to those returning from service. To find out more go to www.dksecurity.com

For all of you dads out there, a new program is launching here in west Michigan serving fathers 24/7. The 24/7 Dad program, designed by the National Fatherhood Initiative, will support the growth and development of fathers of all races, religions, cultures and backgrounds in the forming of positive relationships with their children, families and community. Did we mention they plan outings to Craig’s Cruisers? I have already tried to tag along…apparently they are pretty strict on fathers only. To find out more about this great program or to enroll, reach out Tony Jolliffi at ***@****hi.org“>to***@****hi.org.

Something on Your Mind?

Running 8THIRTYFOUR on EOS has allowed our team to find consistency in what we do and given us a framework to hold each other accountable. 

It's why @bodespeaks highlighted it in her latest @fastcompany contribution.

We put everything business owners, employees, and educators told us on the wall, and guess what... yeah, some of it was mean. 

The point is, everyone is saying it about each other, not to each other, and nothing is getting fixed that way. 

Thanks to everyone who showed up to have the Uncomfortable Conversation on the skills crisis, and whether you were there or not, let us know what the next one should be.

Defense and manufacturing run on precision, protocols, and deadlines. When a team miscommunicates... things slip, and the cost adds up.

Kim will be at the Michigan Defense Expo in Detroit on May 13 to talk about the Hard Cost of Soft Skills (or as we call them, survival skills) and what we can all do about it.

If not for you, do it for her. 

@bodespeaks will be talking to @sheleadssocietymi on May 21 about Big Deal Energyâ„¢ and what it means to own what makes you - you. 

Don't let mediocre men tell you you're too much. That's on them. 

Come to the talk, it'll be fun. Link in bio.
We always say work smarter, which means bringing in expertise you don't have and hiring people who make your team more complete. 

That's what Kim Bode said in a recent @fastcompany article on building sustainability into your business.
