Journal-Entry #25-“Killer Show”

By Ron KantermanI got a feeling that you opened this because we just got home from FDIC. In fact it was a killer show. It was my 23rd FDIC and it simply gets better each year. For me, it’s a family reunion and for one week, it’s the center of our universe. Great training, great expo and great times. Start saving now for next year. It rolls around quick. “Killer Show” is actually the title of a book (John Barylick, University Press of New England) that was recently released, and chronicles the…See More

RON KANTERMAN commented on Glenn Corbett's group Tradition, TRADITION!
"Glad to be here. Anything Glenn Corbett does is top shelf. Sorry I haven't signed up before. I guess it's ironic that I'm member 343 and the traditions that have come out of the WTC 9/11 attacks will live forever. Remember…"

"All-Nice to be here with the Leadership gang. As a student and deliverer of leadership, my studies have taken me to one basic concept. Look at any failed system in the world. Countries, the economy, the banks, Wall Street, etc. It was all…"

MW 2011

We have seen the MW grow each year by leaps and bounds and then things dropped off a bit.
