A New Dawn

Today I started a "Get Healthy" program. It includes Cardio 4 times per week, Weights 3 times per week, and an eating plan that involves not eating processed foods, white rice, potatoes, or white flour. I will be eating lot's of fresh vegetables, legumes, and Lean Proteins. I am 42 as of last month, and over the last several years I have focused a little too much on entrepreneurial activities and not enough on my overall health. I am committed to my company and will continue to help run it with the utmost enthusiasm and my healthier lifestyle will give me even more energy to give my all to the people and duties that I love!

The Culture Club

One of the best things we have ever done at our company is to write our book "Brewing A Creative Culture". Each chapter is written by a different staff member. The subjects of the chapters range from going the extra mile, to giving back to the community. We wanted to write a book on our culture to not only specifically define it, but to document it permanently forever. And while it is available at Amazon and Borders etc, it's commercial aspirations were secondary.
Now as the company has grown, with more and more employees, it gets harder and harder to maintain that culture. Our solution was to create "The Culture Club". The culture club is a 10 person committee with a sole focus of perpetuating our culture and creating new ways of improving it. I have to tell you it's working awesome. They have come up with so many fun games and events. Some examples include company wide dodgeball tournaments, impromptu barbeques, the "Dilly" Awards, old school video game "excita-bike" championship, biggest loser competition, and most recently the homemade Salsa competition. Trust me when people walk in to our facility they can just "feel" the culture. I am very proud of our people. check out our book when you get a chance.
