Thanks for listening to The John and Heidi Show. 4 00:00:13.560 --> 00:00:16.320 We appreciate you joining us. On a Monday, I have Jamie Elwood 5 00:00:16.399 --> 00:00:20.039 joining me and she is the district director for the South Dakota District Office of 6 00:00:20.079 --> 00:00:24.679 the US Small Business Administration and we're excited to chat with her about a program 7 00:00:24.960 --> 00:00:28.440 that's coming up real soon. And the deadline is coming up and even sooner. 8 00:00:28.719 --> 00:00:33.359 We have till Wednesday to get signed up for SBA Thrive. Jamie, 9 00:00:33.399 --> 00:00:39.799 tell me what is Thrive. Thride is a CEO executive level training for small 10 00:00:39.880 --> 00:00:46.920 business owners and we're very excited to be bringing this in person cohort too, 11 00:00:47.119 --> 00:00:52.439 Sue fall So Thrive as an acronym that stands for train, Hope, Rise, 12 00:00:52.840 --> 00:00:58.359 Innovate, venture, and elevate, and this is designed to accelerate the 13 00:00:58.479 --> 00:01:03.719 growth of high potential small businesses across the United States. It's free training, 14 00:01:03.799 --> 00:01:07.159 It's a six month cohort. It's going to start later in June, around 15 00:01:07.239 --> 00:01:12.879 the twentieth. I believe of June and I will go with the next six 16 00:01:12.920 --> 00:01:17.879 months, so up until about Decembers when graduation is And I did a program 17 00:01:18.040 --> 00:01:19.480 similar to this, but not quite like this, And I'll tell you the 18 00:01:19.480 --> 00:01:23.200 program that I did was a fascinating program. You got to meet some other 19 00:01:23.239 --> 00:01:29.280 really neat people, and everybody was working on their business instead of in their 20 00:01:29.280 --> 00:01:33.040 business, so you're working on things to help grow. And I like what 21 00:01:33.079 --> 00:01:34.959 they're doing with this the fact that it's in person. The one that we 22 00:01:36.040 --> 00:01:38.760 did was all on Zoom because at the time that's where we were in the 23 00:01:38.760 --> 00:01:42.560 world. But I love the fact that this one will be an in person 24 00:01:42.640 --> 00:01:46.599 thing. Now, what does a business owner or a CEO need to do 25 00:01:46.719 --> 00:01:49.200 to qualify to be a part of this free program. There are a few 26 00:01:49.400 --> 00:01:56.480 qualifications. You have to have at least three years as a business owner. 27 00:01:57.359 --> 00:02:00.760 You have to have at least two employees, can be one of the employees. 28 00:02:00.920 --> 00:02:05.560 A lot of you know, business owners are their only employee, and 29 00:02:05.599 --> 00:02:09.560 so in fact our own South Dakota, most businesses have less than ten employees. 30 00:02:09.639 --> 00:02:15.319 So that is a requirement because we really want to help business owners to 31 00:02:15.560 --> 00:02:21.120 visualize and strategize on where they want to take their business. And how to 32 00:02:21.199 --> 00:02:24.159 grow it. And some of that may be including sales, which is going 33 00:02:24.240 --> 00:02:30.400 to require more employees, so there'll be a growth trajectory piece of this as 34 00:02:30.439 --> 00:02:37.919 well. And then we have we have lowered the thresholds for the annual revenue 35 00:02:38.000 --> 00:02:42.319 that's required. We did have it set at two hundred and fifty thousand dollars. 36 00:02:42.960 --> 00:02:46.520 We are opening that a little bit brought more broadly. Many business owners, 37 00:02:46.840 --> 00:02:51.080 maybe they have one or two employees, don't make you know, that 38 00:02:51.199 --> 00:02:53.759 much. They don't make two hundred and fifty every year, turn fifty thousand 39 00:02:53.759 --> 00:03:00.039 dollars. So we will review each application and if it's a good fit. 40 00:03:00.159 --> 00:03:05.879 And I'm really excited right now, we have about half of a class signed 41 00:03:05.919 --> 00:03:08.919 f I have room for twenty to twenty five in the class, and so 42 00:03:08.960 --> 00:03:14.159 we have about eleven right now and very excited to bring this back in person. 43 00:03:14.199 --> 00:03:17.719 It's going to be held downtown Sioux Falls in the library and we'll meet 44 00:03:17.960 --> 00:03:23.639 in person eight times throughout the six months. It's also going to be offered 45 00:03:23.719 --> 00:03:27.879 virtually, so it is a hybrid class and there will be some on demand, 46 00:03:28.000 --> 00:03:31.360 you know, learning some homework. So your experience a couple of years 47 00:03:31.360 --> 00:03:35.560 ago when you took it when it was in the South Dakota Cohort and it 48 00:03:35.599 --> 00:03:40.520 was online that was called Emerging Leaders. This one is SBA Thrive, SBA 49 00:03:40.599 --> 00:03:46.000 Thrive, Emerging Leaders Reimagine. So we're pretty excited to get back into a 50 00:03:46.080 --> 00:03:51.000 hybrid model and coming together with these CEOs in person. And the thing is 51 00:03:51.520 --> 00:03:54.520 the class that I was a part of. There were twenty twenty ish people, 52 00:03:54.599 --> 00:03:58.520 several of them in Sioux Falls, but some in Yankton, some in 53 00:03:58.520 --> 00:04:00.840 the Black Hills, they were all over out Dakota. And the thing that's 54 00:04:00.879 --> 00:04:06.000 really neat is we again, we were meeting primarily online, but we actually 55 00:04:06.039 --> 00:04:10.879 did get together a few times. The group that was into Falls and some 56 00:04:10.960 --> 00:04:13.280 of the people that were a part of it I knew ahead of time, 57 00:04:13.520 --> 00:04:15.199 but many of the people that were part of that I had never met before. 58 00:04:15.240 --> 00:04:18.399 And now we're friends. So that's the thing that I can't guarantee you're 59 00:04:18.399 --> 00:04:23.120 going to come away with new friends, but you probably will because that's just 60 00:04:23.199 --> 00:04:26.120 what happens. That's that's like a nice little side effect, isn't it. 61 00:04:26.120 --> 00:04:29.079 It is? You know, and exactly what you said a few minutes ago 62 00:04:29.079 --> 00:04:32.199 about working in your business instead of working on your business. This is all 63 00:04:32.240 --> 00:04:39.800 about you know, that strategic leader, moving that elevation, moving to the 64 00:04:39.920 --> 00:04:45.560 strategist, guiding the business along, working on that future plan of your business, 65 00:04:45.600 --> 00:04:48.399 you know, and really leading the team and projects to where you want 66 00:04:48.439 --> 00:04:53.879 it to grow to. So for some small businesses, they're looking at business 67 00:04:53.879 --> 00:04:58.240 succession. We have a large number of large percentage of small businesses that are 68 00:04:58.639 --> 00:05:02.920 here in South Dakota that are retirement AIGs or older and they're looking to build 69 00:05:02.920 --> 00:05:08.560 the bench and so their strategy. We're going to help have our cohort participants 70 00:05:08.600 --> 00:05:12.600 build out a strategy for about three to five years, and that might be 71 00:05:12.680 --> 00:05:16.120 looking at trying to either bring one of their employees forward as the new owner, 72 00:05:16.319 --> 00:05:20.399 or a child or another family member, or maybe somebody that they don't 73 00:05:20.399 --> 00:05:25.800 even know yet, but they want to get their business model ready for transition. 74 00:05:26.279 --> 00:05:29.839 We are opening this a bit too, John, that will be just 75 00:05:30.040 --> 00:05:32.439 you know a little bit more outside of Swoo Falls and inclusive. So we 76 00:05:32.519 --> 00:05:39.439 are opening this to Minnesota's Nebraskas and i Winds as well, who can get 77 00:05:39.480 --> 00:05:43.480 to su Falls at least eight times in person in the six month period. 78 00:05:43.759 --> 00:05:46.000 Well, I'm going to throw a link to make it easy for folks to 79 00:05:46.040 --> 00:05:47.959 sign up if they're interested.

He's the CEO with Midwest Honor Flight, 103 00:07:14.680 --> 00:07:16.360 and we talked with them a while ago when they were planning and then they 104 00:07:16.639 --> 00:07:20.319 be a big announcement that everything was ready, and now there's a big announcement 105 00:07:20.360 --> 00:07:26.160 that tomorrow is the day. Aaron, are you excited for tomorrow? Oh? 106 00:07:26.199 --> 00:07:28.879 Absolutely. And I know that our Vestans that are going on the flight, 107 00:07:28.920 --> 00:07:30.759 we've got eighty four of them going with us tomorrow, they're just as 108 00:07:30.759 --> 00:07:34.879 excited to go. Some of them been waiting over three years for this opportunity 109 00:07:34.920 --> 00:07:39.199 to go on their honor flight. So very very excited. And this is 110 00:07:39.199 --> 00:07:42.600 an amazing thing and this is not your first honor flight. How many have 111 00:07:42.680 --> 00:07:46.199 you done now, Aaron as Midwest Honor Plate, We've done thirteen so far, 112 00:07:46.639 --> 00:07:50.560 one one hundred and fifty three destrims being honored of myself. I've been 113 00:07:50.560 --> 00:07:55.199 on a few others throughout the country, assisting other groups when they get started, 114 00:07:55.199 --> 00:07:59.000 but also shadowing to make our group even better too. So it's been 115 00:07:59.040 --> 00:08:01.319 a good right over the last six years. And we're very excited for not 116 00:08:01.360 --> 00:08:05.279 only the flight tomorrow with eighty four veterans, but again at the end of 117 00:08:05.279 --> 00:08:07.279 the month May thirty. First, we'll be taking an additional eighty four veterans. 118 00:08:07.720 --> 00:08:11.240 I love that. And you've got chemists and special things happening this evening, 119 00:08:11.560 --> 00:08:15.120 and then everybody takes off in the morning, and you've got kind of 120 00:08:15.160 --> 00:08:18.120 a full day tomorrow, don't you. We really do. Tonight is a 121 00:08:18.199 --> 00:08:22.439 nice little meal and banquet that we put on for all the veterans and their 122 00:08:22.439 --> 00:08:24.360 guardians and then the crew that goes on and a few of their spouses are 123 00:08:24.360 --> 00:08:28.920 able to make it as well to that, so really nice meal just to 124 00:08:28.000 --> 00:08:33.120 acknowledge their service and sacrifice. But then yeah, tomorrow we'll spend by the 125 00:08:33.120 --> 00:08:35.399 time we land in DC, will spend ten hours in DC to see World 126 00:08:35.440 --> 00:08:39.360 War Two, Korea, Vietnam, Lincoln, the Navy Memorial, the Air 127 00:08:39.399 --> 00:08:43.080 Force Memorial, Evagima Memorial, and of course spend some time with Arlington just 128 00:08:43.240 --> 00:08:46.080 witnessed the changing of the guards and then bring them home. It's a long 129 00:08:46.159 --> 00:08:50.120 day. Has anybody ever figured out how many miles you walk when you're doing 130 00:08:50.120 --> 00:08:52.679 this? You know, I think one time I watched said ten miles. 131 00:08:52.720 --> 00:08:56.639 But you know that's all the way. Start in the morning at the airport 132 00:08:56.639 --> 00:09:00.120 at Odark thirty and so we get home that evening. So it's a it's 133 00:09:00.120 --> 00:09:01.879 a lot of walking. But of course that's why we have trained guardians and 134 00:09:03.200 --> 00:09:05.799 our volunteer crew and medics that join us to make sure that our veterans they 135 00:09:05.840 --> 00:09:11.080 need a pusher or assistance that's available for them too. I love that. 136 00:09:11.200 --> 00:09:13.799 Now you've got some other things that are coming up as well. Let's let's 137 00:09:13.799 --> 00:09:16.320 talk a little bit about the other things that you have in the near future. 138 00:09:18.240 --> 00:09:22.159 Absolutely, so we're very excited for On Wednesday, Kudoba Over and two 139 00:09:22.240 --> 00:09:26.399 Falls will actually be doing a fundraiser for us as well in the evening from 140 00:09:26.440 --> 00:09:30.200 four to seven that's a big one coming up. But then we also will 141 00:09:30.240 --> 00:09:33.960 be at Chick fil A on June fourteenth, which is Flag Day appropriate for 142 00:09:33.000 --> 00:09:37.200 that, and we will be getting the proceeds of cookies and brownies that are 143 00:09:37.240 --> 00:09:41.240 sold that day. And then we have our third annual on a Ride taking 144 00:09:41.240 --> 00:09:46.679 place on Sunday, June twenty fifth, and that will leave from the South 145 00:09:46.720 --> 00:09:50.320 Falls Alliance or sorry, excuse me to stop the Code of Military Heritage Alliance 146 00:09:50.799 --> 00:09:52.639 at two o'clock as one. We'll have that ride meeting. There'll be a 147 00:09:52.720 --> 00:09:56.360 nice little ride pass to the A Hospital to do a thunder salutes to those 148 00:09:56.440 --> 00:10:01.399 veterans that are staying at the hospital there, followed by then a ceremony out 149 00:10:01.399 --> 00:10:03.679 of the South Dakota Veteran Cemetery. I love it. You guys have a 150 00:10:03.679 --> 00:10:07.279 lot of wonderful things happening, and many of these things are fundraisers, and 151 00:10:07.360 --> 00:10:11.080 the fundraisers this is raising money for one of the coolest things ever. So 152 00:10:11.120 --> 00:10:15.000 if folks get a chance to come out and give, it's giving to a 153 00:10:15.120 --> 00:10:18.240 really great cause, isn't it. Absolutely All of the funds that we generate 154 00:10:18.559 --> 00:10:22.960 through fundraisers, donations, and grants that we receive stay local if nothing goes 155 00:10:24.000 --> 00:10:28.080 anywhere outside of our area for another chapter or even to our national headquarters. 156 00:10:28.440 --> 00:10:33.600 So all the pro seeds are benefiting the veterans directly in our area here. 157 00:10:33.960 --> 00:10:37.679 And yeah, we are just so excited for the opportunity to fly twice this 158 00:10:37.799 --> 00:10:41.879 spring and hopefully two more times this fall. With over seven hundred and sixty 159 00:10:41.960 --> 00:10:45.120 veterans on a waiting list to go, and in the need to raise eight 160 00:10:45.200 --> 00:10:50.240 hundred and fifty dollars per person. All donations, all events, all fundraisers 161 00:10:50.240 --> 00:10:52.879 that we do are viol to keep this mission going. If somebody would like 162 00:10:52.919 --> 00:10:56.720 to sponsor a veteran Midwest Honor Flight dot org, they can go right there, 163 00:10:56.720 --> 00:11:00.799 and I see on the bottom of the page sponsor a veteran really simple 164 00:11:00.799 --> 00:11:03.240 to click that and make a donation. How much would the donation be to 165 00:11:03.320 --> 00:11:07.720 sponsor one veteran? One veteran is eight hundred and fifty three dollars is what 166 00:11:07.799 --> 00:11:11.039 it costs us to send a veteran to DC. Of course, they don't 167 00:11:11.080 --> 00:11:15.159 pay for any part of their trip, and so it's a great way for 168 00:11:15.279 --> 00:11:20.320 us to show our appreciation as a grateful nation to those that serve and sacrifice 169 00:11:20.799 --> 00:11:24.440 by seeing their memorials through this and the gas the least we can do for 170 00:11:24.480 --> 00:11:28.559 their service and the thing that's wonderful. This is something there's many people listening 171 00:11:28.559 --> 00:11:33.320 that probably work at a company that gives money to different charities and organizations throughout 172 00:11:33.320 --> 00:11:35.840 the year. If you are maybe the person in charge of that, or 173 00:11:35.840 --> 00:11:39.440 if you know the person in charge of that, let them know Midwest honorflight 174 00:11:39.600 --> 00:11:43.759 dot org.

It was on this day May 207 00:13:46.159 --> 00:13:50.559 fifteenth, eighteen ninety five, the Federal Building in Sue Falls was completed, 208 00:13:50.639 --> 00:13:54.679 and the regional US Federal courts and the US Post Office began moving in. 209 00:13:54.840 --> 00:13:58.639 The building is attributed to RF. Pettigrew's unending work as a booster for Sue 210 00:13:58.679 --> 00:14:03.720 Fall and for South Dakota in Congress. By sheer grit and determination, he 211 00:14:03.759 --> 00:14:07.960 was able to push through legislation and funding for a beautiful building, perhaps more 212 00:14:07.000 --> 00:14:11.679 grand than the federal buildings of much larger communities of the time. The Federal 213 00:14:11.720 --> 00:14:16.720 Building still stands today on its original location at four hundred South Phillips Avenue. 214 00:14:16.759 --> 00:14:20.440 A few editions over the years have only served to make the building even more 215 00:14:20.639 --> 00:14:24.480 magnificent.

Equity markets had another tough week and ended the period sourly. 226 00:15:07.279 --> 00:15:09.879 The SNP five hundred trade and at a tight range for the week, 227 00:15:11.039 --> 00:15:15.799 But the more telling indication is the resistance persists at the forty one fifty level. 228 00:15:15.919 --> 00:15:18.879 This level has marked the top four stocks for over a year and is 229 00:15:18.960 --> 00:15:22.639 likely to continue to do so. Among other reasons, the yield on federal 230 00:15:22.679 --> 00:15:26.200 debt is paying more than the SMP five hundred with less risk, and is 231 00:15:26.200 --> 00:15:31.320 attracting safe haven and risk averse investment dollars. This week will be another hurdle 232 00:15:31.360 --> 00:15:35.480 with economic data and earnings on deck.
