Your Biz Your Town Talks Advanced Manufacturing

Share the goods.

The Your Biz Your Town cast and crew smiles at the camera.

As you know the 4th Friday of the month is Your Biz Your Town on The WGVU Morning Show with Shelley Irwin. We invite the best companies we know to chat with us about topics ranging from events to growth to development.
For this month’s show we invited Creston Industrial Sales and Methods Machine to chat about the upcoming Advanced Manufacturing Expo (AME)on August 24th. This year the show is introducing a Metal Working Hall, sponsored by Creston, featuring companies offering the latest advancements in cutting tools, coatings, work and tool holding, as well as metal working fluids, additive manufacturing, and inventory management solutions.
Creston Industrial Sales supplies manufacturers, engineers and end-users with metal working products and innovative solutions while also functioning as an extension of their team. The company has been around for 50 years and is based in Grand Rapids and serves West Michigan.
Methods Machine Tools, Inc. has been North America’s foremost supplier of leading-edge precision machine tool and additive solutions – providing superior products, engineering and automation, parts and service, training and integration.
In addition to the more than 120 booths, there will be free seminars on new technologies in the metal working industry. It is important to note that the expo is FREE, but registration is recommended, especially if you want to get in on all the awesome giveaways.
Check out the interview with Shelley and 834.

National Perimenopause Month starts today. We have a LOT to say, and we’re not going to be quiet about it, especially this month, so buckle up.

We were not prepared for perimenopause, much like our periods, sex, or anything else to do with our bodies. God forbid we talk about it openly.

We were taught to be ashamed, keep quiet, and to accept that it is just part of being a woman. We reject that narrative. In fact, like @bodespeaks, we want to bring it up in every conversation.

When we normalize perimenopause and the conversation around it, we stop isolating, and we’re all more prepared.
Join us for Uncomfortable Conversations: The Pause on September 24th — a powerful conversation hosted alongside the @smallbusinessassocofmichigan
Women’s Business Council, featuring some kicka$$ experts who will give you the real talk on perimenopause (more to come on them later).
