The Business News Headlines 7 March 2019

Equities fell for the fourth day in a row but this time it wasn't trade talks between the United States and China. It's the business news headlines for Thursday the 7th day of March...let's go:

• Americans have enjoyed some extra "jingle" in their pocket but that soon may disappear;
• A Disney heiress says that corporations are paying their executives way too much;
• Amazon is going to cut ties with the majority of their suppliers forcing an panic among many;
• Philadelphia is taking a stand against cashless retail operations, not without pushback;
• What happened and why on Wall Street.

Those stories plus a conversation about a topic most people surveyed fear more than death.  Maureen Burger from Tero International is with me to offer up some tips to help you relax and make sure the next time you get up to make a presentation it is believable and drives home your  point.  

Thanks for listening!

How Do Successful Entrepreneurs Think with Jason Feifer

This week I got to welcome Jason Feifer the Editor in Chief of Entrepreneur Magazine to Iowa. He was in the Des Moines Metro to headline a breakfast meeting with the Greater Des Moines Partnership and then off for CI-Week with our friend Tony Paustian of DMACC-West. His topic this morning was "How Do Successful Entrepreneurs Think". Before he took the mic he sat down behind our mic and talked about change. More to the point the history we have in refusing to accept change be it a bicycle (not kidding) or recordings of music. In addition he chatted a bit about his new book he wrote with his wife, Jennifer Miller, "Mr. Nice Guy".  Click through for more and a great lesson of capturing every moment to enhance communication.
