It is no secret that 834 Design & Marketing resides on the west side of Grand Rapids and that we think it is the cat’s meow.
This June’s #YourBizYourTown is dedicated to the west side of GR (with some Holland representation), which we think is the best side.
Our guests today came representing hair, clothing and ice cream, oh and boats. Seriously, if you are not tuning in…you are missing out. Every 4th Friday at 9:00 a.m. on 88.5 FM.
DENYM:
DENYM, features the latest in men’s and women’s clothing. With the best designer jeans, chic tops and fitted shirts, and trend setting accessories, DENYM gives you exclusive access to contemporary style and sophistication.
They combine premium denim brands, a collection of other everyday essentials, and the ultimate personal shopping experience…all built around your everyday lifestyle.
Oh, and you can throw a party. Grab 20 (or less – I guess it depends on how many friends you have) of your closest friends and get ready to enjoy discounts, wine, shopping and refreshments.
Head of the Pride:
Head of the Pride is a Boutique Salon and Modern Men’s Barbering focused on providing an excellent client experience with each interaction. Owner, Sarah Dilley-Couture makes it her mission to deliver a top-notch experience for all clients – both men and women.
Check them out at 444 Bridge Street NW. They also happen to be on every social network you can think of – and you know we like that.
Holland Museum: The Cappon House Ice Cream Social & Big Red
The Holland Museum will be hosting its annual Cappon House Ice Cream Social on Sunday, June 29, 2014 from 12:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. at no cost to visitors. The event allows guests to experience the Cappon House for free while enjoying games and ice cream. All games and activities will be Victorian themed to highlight the era in which the house was built and occupied.
The Holland Princess & Big Red Tour
Take a summer cruise with the Holland Museum and enjoy a special presentation by Travis Williams, from the Outdoor Discovery Center, speaking on “A Community and its Lake,” followed by a private tour of the Big Red Lighthouse, dinner and live music at Piper Restaurant and a sunset cruise on the return. $125 per ticket, capacity limited to 120.
I’m on a boat! Well, you can be on a boat and tour a lighthouse. Now that sounds like a good time.
Great guests, great show. Tune in next month on July 25 at 9:00 a.m as we talk #YourBizYourTown. Oh, and share the love on social media using our hashtag #YourBizYourTown.
The West Side is the Best Side

We got uncomfortable and you liked it.

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.

The @smallbusinessassocofmichigan`s Women`s Entrepreneurial Fellowship met last week in our new space, and it was incredible to have this group of badass women back together under one roof.
Our focus this time around was planning for the future, whether that`s selling your business, handing it down, or just starting the conversation about it. We heard from the one and only Mindy Earley, who walked the cohort through the many different things to consider when succession planning; and Monica Gauthier joined us to talk about her journey selling her business - @groovydonuts.
The biggest takeaway... we really need to get this group together more often.
Applications are open for the next cohort. Apply at the link in bio.
