As we say at Ford, be curious! The hottest ticket in the country. The 2024 NFL draft is being held here in Detroit this week. The Lions (owned by the Ford Family), not to be outdone, showcased their new uniforms to a packed house of season ticket holders at Ford Field in downtown Detroit. Go Lions!

What can Jack Gohlke and the Oakland Grizzlies teach us about business? 👀 Listening to the post game interview last night…something caught my ear about this game…💥EXPERIENCE💥 Experience wins games…not talent that comes with blue chip, 5 star, legacy recruits. Kentucky is loaded with NBA talent, but they bolt for millions after year 1….coining the term “One and Done”. Average age of 19 yearly = NO EXPERIENCE ❌ Not OAKLAND!!! They’re a team of gritty ballers who are older…not NBA bound. Average age of 22 yearly = EXPERIENCE (Jack Gohlke 24)✅ To stay ahead in business you have stay hungry… Hunger =💥EXPERIENCE💥 The business world isn’t fair…you’ll always be facing a competitor who has a bigger budget, larger staff, better “resume” talent, etc…😩 Want to win? HIT THE BUSINESS GYM daily with training, industry knowledge, new tech stack, books, podcasts, etc… STAY HUNGRY Don’t be a Cinderella👊 #experience #training #outwork #marchmadness #notacinderella

Good News Friday is here! Now, whether you are a basketball fan or not, an Oakland University fan or not, last night was an absolute lesson in how one identifies where they are and sees the Dream where they want to go as Oakland upset Kentucky in the NCAA tournament, a 14 seed beating a 3 seed and powerhouse. The article I am reposting from Front Office Sports provides an insight to an individual who was a redshirt freshman at an DII school but whose dream was to be on the court with the best. If you follow basketball, this is a Dream, and one that takes what I hope every leader is willing to admit they need: 🌄 Willing to dream - Let lose, dream at work and dream at home, be willing to do it! You did it as a kid, you can do it again! Remember your dreams as a kid, you wanted to be the best at a certain sport, hobby, whatever it was and you would do everything to make it happen. Some of our best inventions and leaders have been those that dared to dream. People love to get behind a Dream! 🗣 Others - This individual, Jack Gohlke, needed coaches, trainers, his teammates, and many others at the university to be successful. Are you willing to let others help you be successful? 👷♂️ Hard Work - There will never be a substitute for this, and I am not talking about being so consumed that you don't have time for your family, others, or have horrible balance. But when you are in the arena, when you are in practice, when you are at work, you are giving your best, because you know the dream is worth it. Allowing yourself to dream, allowing others to help, working hard, are three great ways to see your life, both professional and personal, go to the next level! Have a powerful day and you have what it takes! #Dream #DreamBigGoBig #EncourageAndTakeCareOfEachOther

November 26, 2023: We are fast approaching the annual interruption of the nonconference schedule with a home and away Big Ten game. On December 5, MSU begins its march to a Big Ten title against Wisconsin, but first, it must face the Georgia Southern Eagles from the Sun Belt Conference. It's the second team from the Sun Belt that the Spartans will have faced but this team is no where near the level of competition like James Madison. This will be an opportunity for MSU to build upon the small strides we saw in the Arizona game. Can they come out with the fire they showed in the second half against the Wildcats? Will the shooting finally start to come around? Are you looking for collegiate apparel including Spartan gear? There’s only one place we recommend you go to get your MSU T-shirts, hoodies, sweatshirts — Nudge Printing. (https://lnkd.in/gkW3SZix) Nudge is owned and operated by Gabe and Brittany, two MSU alums. The business is operated out of Michigan and screen prints super high quality products. They also have a large assortment of apparel for other schools as well as stickers for your wall, car, or computer. You can also buy our merchandise to sport around town where all the sales proceeds go to support the show. If you have a home in Michigan you know the importance of clearing water efficiently away from your home off the roof. Unfortunately, the outdoor beauty of Michigan means you have to deal with leaves and debris that pile up in your gutters. Sometimes, those gutters also can’t keep up with the rain or leave puddles by your foundation. If you live in the Grand Rapids area (Muskegon to Saugatuck to Rockford to Lowell) contact Kurt Stauffer at the Brothers that Just Do Gutters. (https://lnkd.in/gg6RKQN6). If you’re anywhere in the metro Detroit area the Brothers have you covered too! (https://lnkd.in/g2yGdG3u). They are real professionals who will clean, repair, or replace your gutters and protect your home quickly and efficiently with friendly service. Mention Final Four to get 10% off your gutter work. #MSUHoops #MichiganStateBasketball #MichiganState #GeorgiaSouthern

Imagine this: You're in the heart of downtown Ann Arbor, Michigan. It's game day. The atmosphere is electric. As you dodge the crowds and make your way to Michigan Stadium, you realize: You forgot to plan your transportation. Don't be that person, plan ahead. Here are 3 transportation options: 1. The Bus: The Ann Arbor Area Transportation Authority (AAATA) has game day shuttle services round-trip but lines are often long and you could miss kick off.  2. The Local Taxi: Just mention "Fare Ride or Ann Arbor Taxi" to hotel staff and they'll know who to call. Their drivers all know the best routes.  3. The Walk: It'll only take you about 30-40 minutes to walk from downtown Ann Arbor to Michigan Stadium. Plus, you'll get fresh air and exercise. Plan ahead before game day so you can focus on cheering on the Wolverines to victory. Go Blue!
