David Bronner was 28 years old when he accepted the top job at the Retirement Systems of Alabama. 160 other names were submitted prior to his. Today, nearly fifty years later, Dr Bronner leads one of the world’s largest pension funds and has done more to positively shape the image of the state of Alabama than any other single person. He’ll never say this about himself, but he was pegged as a savant from an early age and as his talent bloomed, the state and the state’s retirees were lifted along as well.

The words enthusiastic and charismatic don’t come close to capturing the energy Bello Nock gives away. We had breakfast at the Beau Rivage Casino in Biloxi, Mississippi where he was performing – he’s now at MGM National Harbor – and later got him on the phone for our interview. He’s the perfect mix of “show” + “business”. He manages his own troupe consisting of acts from many nations plus five more troupes across the country, all moving from place to place. His daughter performs at SeaWorld San Diego – she’s the eighth generation Nock family performer. Amazing conversation.

Mike Adams – aka “Cajun Mike” – has grown his company, E3 Termite and Pest Control, by leaps and bounds over the past few years. One reason is he can treat and bond buildings with sprayfoam insulation and I can find no other companies around who will. His focus on service and technlogy is a perfect match. Then I visit with Norman McCrummen and Carol Grant to talk abot NEST – a local service for at-risk youth. Lots of kids out there need help and NEST is doing a great service for the community.

Phillip Faulkner owns Avid Boats in Amory, Mississippi. He’s the son of a boat builder and once the family business was sold, Phillip knew he needed to be back in the business as a innovator and decision maker. He’s created new tools that shape the aluminum in a unique way, giving the boat the light-weight and low-cost of aluminum with appearance and elegance of a fiber glass boat. He’s a millennial, in his early thirties, and is quite impressive.
