Welcome to the Season 2 premier of the Scrap Guys Solutions podcast! "It's not what you know or who you know, it's who knows you?" Jeremy received this advice about 25 years ago and in this episode, he provides some real-life examples of why it's so important to build relationships, expand your network, and most importantly, leave a positive impression with people you meet. Ask yourself, when someone is hiring for an important position within a company, or when someone is looking to fill a board seat for a local non-profit, are they going to recruit you? Next time time you meet someone new, make sure to leave a positive impression because you never know when you might meet them again in the future, ow when you might need them for something in the future, or they might need you for something in the future. You can get in touch with Jeremy by emailing: ScrapGuySolutions@gmail.com Make today your day. Figure out what you want, then get started, stick with it, and go make it happen!

Introduction: I hope you had an awesome Thanksgiving! There is so much to be thankful for, including family, friends, and the greatest country in the world! This is a quick tip episode to encourage you to take some You Time. Find a minimum of 3 minutes of quiet time everyday single day where you can reflect, pray, visualize, meditate, or do some breathing exercises. If you have more than 3 minutes, that’s even better yet. The important thing is that you find some quite time where you can be alone and uninterrupted. You will feel better and more prepared for the day ahead.

Take a moment to imagine the unimaginable. Imagine being told that your three year old child has a rare disease that will very likely result in death. You can slow the progression of the disease, but unfortunately it’s too late for any type of treatment to cure the disease or stop the progression. This unimaginable situation was the new reality for Nick & Shanna Quimby and ultimately resulted in the devastating loss of their son Gavin when he was five. They turned this unimaginable and devastating situation into a mission to help other families facing something similar. Their tireless efforts have led to the expansion of the newborn screening list and the Minnesota Rare Disease Advisory Council. But they won’t stop until their dream of getting MLD added to the newborn screening list is fulfilled. They also started the Gavin Quimby Research Fund at the University of Minnesota to support research and gene therapy for kids. If interested, you can donate to the Gavin Quimby Research Fund by mailing a check to the address below. Miller Scrap & Disposal is also making a donation to the Gavin Quimby Research Fund for every new customer who signs up for Miller Disposal's local trash service during the month of November. Nick and Shanna's efforts in memory of their son Gavin are already helping save lives here in Minnesota and across the country.

Jason Barum is a local guy who is making things happen with his mindset of "where there's a will, there's a way." As I’ve gotten to know Jason better over the years, I’ve continued to be impressed with his determination and desire to pursue things that he is passionate about. I talked about something I call P-Squared in episode 17 of Scrap Guy Solutions. P-Squared is Purpose and Passion, and Jason is doing an excellent job pursuing his P-Squared. He has worked at Peerless Chain here in Winona for almost 13 years. He is a passionate Minnesota sports fan, which landed him a photographer gig with the Minnesota Vikings, and most recently, he helped start a band to pursue his passion for music. His band is called Dead Amsterdam (www.deadamsterdam.com). Thank you for listening to the podcast! Please subscribe, follow, give us a like, leave a review, and share will others.
