If you give @delta the exact location via text of the AirPods you accidentally left on a flight it should be an easy fix right? Happy to post the exact location to help in location

Excited to join my friends John Ende & @dejonghawkeye at #NCEO2025 in Salt Lake City next month!
We’ll be diving into how to keep advisors ahead of the game in employee ownership.
Looking forward to learning, sharing, and catching up—let’s connect!

@CenturyLink No need for a DM @CenturyLink . One of your customer service people said nothing they can do. I will keep tripping over the unburied line in my yard since November and just enjoy the process hike.

[Joe DeJong @dejonghawkeye]

So @CenturyLink is switching to fiber and now can’t help customers with customer service and is charging an additional $5/mo because they can before they force customers into a higher priced fiber?

Shout out to all the @Delta employees in the Southeast today. I know it has been a tough travel day. Appreciate you doing the best for everyone.

@SirTret @ofarevolution @Delta Frustrating for sure. Love it when someone else’s vendor issue becomes my problem now.

[Joe DeJong @dejonghawkeye]

Well won’t be seeing my kids at their first @ofarevolution concert tonight in NH thanks to @Delta last minute cancellation of our flight out of DSM this morning. Will have to catch you some other time.

It was great to catch up in Tampa. I look forward to our next conversation.

As a passionate advocate for employee-ownership, I was thrilled to have spent a couple of enriching days at The National Center for Employee Ownership (@theNCEO) Conference in Tampa, FL. It was an inspiring experience connecting with friends, advisors & fellow employee-owned companies

In a recent article by Daniel Zugell in Broker World, the significance of life insurance in addressing financial concerns within Employee Stock Ownership Plans (ESOPs) was emphasized. Life insurance stands out as a versatile tool for protection & wealth accumulation, aligning perfectly with the goals of employee-ownership

At @AndesaServices, we take pride in being an employee-owned company & we are honored to serve the insurance companies & brokers who serve the vibrant community of employee-owned businesses

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

Here is George Clooney response after Trump accused him of being a "Hollywood elite."

"Here’s the thing: I grew up in Kentucky. I sold insurance door-to-door. I sold ladies’ shoes. I worked at an all-night liquor store. I would buy suits that were too big and too long and cut the bottom of the pants off to make ties so I’d have a tie to go on job interviews. I grew up understanding what it was like to not have health insurance for eight years.

So this idea that I’m somehow the “Hollywood elite” and this guy who takes a shit in a gold toilet is somehow the man of the people is laughable.

People in Hollywood, for the most part, are people from the Midwest who moved to Hollywood to have a career. So this idea of “coastal elites” living in a bubble is ridiculous. Who lives in a bigger bubble?

He lives in a gold tower and has twelve people in his company. He doesn’t run a corporation of hundreds of thousands of people he employs and takes care of. He ran a company of twelve people!

When you direct a film you have seven different unions all wanting different things, you have to find consensus with all of them, and you have to get them moving in the same direction.

He’s never had to do any of that kind of stuff. I just look at it and I laugh when I see him say “Hollywood elite.” Hollywood elite? I don’t have a star on Hollywood Boulevard, Donald Trump has a star on Hollywood Boulevard! Fuck you!"
