What I’d give a TED Talk on

“Why fit in when you were born to stand out? Unlock your potential and engineer your world.”

Mortgage Loan Officer & Business Development Specialist, Capital Credit Union

Eric-Miller-1

Q: What would you give a TED Talk on?

A: I would talk about the importance of financial wellness. Most people don’t know or have been given some bad advice on their finances, and in 15 minutes of talking, we can change their lives.

KARI BUCHOLZ

Dyslexia Specialist, Haley’s Hope

Kari-Bucholz

Q: What do you want the local business community to know about you?

A: That dyslexia is real and Haley’s Hope is here to help ALL individuals through the challenges it creates. There is no reason to not look into whether dyslexia could be the reason for children’s or adults’ struggles with reading and writing. We are here to help.

THAN BAARDSON

Executive Director, Unseen

Than-Baardson

“We’ve talked to others who had a similar idea (to Unseen) but never went with it. I think it’s like travel. A lot of people can talk about travel, but the only ones who travel are those who do.”

JOSH TEIGEN

President & CFO, Protosthetics

Josh-Teigen-1

Q: What 2017 accomplishment are you most proud of?

A: Winning Entrepreneur of the Year at the ChamberChoice Awards.

RICK BERG

CEO, AdShark Marketing

Rick-Berg-1

“Letting go and not being involved in every facet of our business is one of the things I’ve been struggling with. I think this is a common issue among business owners, but it’s absolutely necessary if we’re going to continue to grow as fast as we are. Recently I’ve started to learn this strange idea of giving up control and it feels good thus far. But I still have a long way to go.”
