Healthy Body, Healthy Business

A PERSONAL JOURNEY AND 2025 MBJ INITIATIVE

January 3, 2025

Dear Friends,

Life in the business world is a constant balance of deadlines, relationships, and responsibilities. As MBJ publisher and a woman entrepreneur, I’ve experienced firsthand the challenges of maintaining wellness while leading a dynamic media organization. Between weekly publishing deadlines, community events, speaking engagements, and the daily demands of business leadership, I’ve often asked myself: How do we achieve true balance in a world that never seems to slow down?

In celebration of the Midlands Business Journal’s 50th anniversary, I’m taking on a challenge that embodies our commitment to both personal wellness and community impact: 50 5Ks in 2025. That’s right – I’m lacing up my running ‘walking’ shoes and pledging to complete 50 5K events throughout the year, all supporting local charities and wellness programs. This isn’t just about moving my body; it’s about moving our community forward together.

Starting January 10th, 2025, we’re launching “Healthy Body, Healthy Business,” where I’ll share not only weekly wellness insights but also my journey through these 50 5Ks – the triumphs, the challenges, and the incredible community connections made along the way. I invite you to join me – whether for one 5K or all 50 – as we turn personal wellness into community impact.

What to expect:

• Evidence-based wellness strategies tailored for the Greater Omaha business community

• Success stories from local business leaders who’ve transformed their health and their companies

• Expert insights from Omaha’s top health and business professionals

• Weekly updates on my 50 5Ks challenge – from training tips to race day experiences

• My personal journey and honest reflections on balancing health and business demands

• Opportunities to participate in upcoming 5Ks and support local causes

This isn’t about perfect solutions – it’s about progress, authenticity, and the pursuit of balance in an unbalanced world. It’s about building a healthier business community, one step at a time. Each 5K represents not just a personal achievement but a chance to support causes that make our community stronger.

Join me and the MBJ community as we explore how physical vitality drives business prosperity. Walk, jog, or run alongside me as we turn our 50th anniversary into a celebration of health, community, and giving back. Your journey to a healthier, more successful 2025 starts here. Together, we’ll discover how to thrive, not just survive, in the fast-paced world of business.

50TH ANNIVERSARY COVERAGE

Midlands Business Journal Announces YEAR-LONG

In a landmark celebration of five decades covering Greater Omaha’s business community, Midlands Business Journal (MBJ) is launching an ambitious year-long series chronicling the region’s transformation since 1975. The commemorative coverage will explore 28 distinct sectors that have shaped the area’s economic landscape.

“This comprehensive series represents not just our journey as a publication, but the remarkable evolution of Omaha’s business community over the past half-century,” said Andrea “Andee” Hoig, publisher of the Midlands Business Journal. “Each installment will showcase the visionaries, innovations, and pivotal moments that have defined our region’s growth.”

The series kicks off with “50 YEARS: Faces of Media,” examining how the media landscape has evolved from traditional print and broadcast to today’s digital-first environment.

Following this, “50 YEARS: Health Care Evolution” will explore the transformation of Omaha’s health care sector, from the expansion of major medical centers to the emergence of innovative health care technologies and services.

Throughout 2025, readers can expect deep dives into sectors that have been fundamental to Omaha’s development. The manufacturing and industrial growth segment will highlight how the region has adapted to technological advances while maintaining its industrial strength. The commercial real estate coverage will track Omaha’s skyline transformation and the major developments that have shaped the city’s business districts.

A significant focus will be placed on the changing face of leadership in Omaha’s business community. “50 YEARS: The Rise of Women Leaders” will document the breakthrough achievements of female executives and entrepreneurs who have reshaped the corporate landscape. Similarly, “50 YEARS: Black Leadership & Business” will celebrate the contributions and achievements of Black business leaders who have strengthened and diversified Omaha’s economy.

The technical revolution segment will examine how Omaha has emerged as a hub for innovation, particularly in financial technology and data services. The banking and finance section will trace the city’s evolution into a major financial center, while the legal impact coverage will showcase how the region’s law firms have influenced business growth and development.

Special attention will be given to the entrepreneurial spirit that has driven Omaha’s growth. The small business success stories and family business dynasties segments will highlight multi-generational enterprises that have become pillars of the community. “50 YEARS: The Evolution of the Entrepreneur” will track how the entrepreneurial landscape has changed from traditional brick-and-mortar businesses to today’s tech-driven startups.

The series will also examine quality-of-life factors that have supported business growth, including downtown revitalization, entertainment and nightlife development, and the arts community’s economic impact. Transportation and aviation coverage will document how improved connectivity has positioned Omaha as a strategic business hub.

Corporate philanthropy will receive dedicated coverage, examining how Omaha’s business community has consistently given back and shaped the region’s social fabric. The series will conclude with an analysis of the overall economic impact these various sectors have had on Greater Omaha’s growth and development.

“This anniversary series is more than a retrospective,” Hoig said. “It’s forward-looking examination of how our past achievements have positioned Omaha for continued growth and success in the decades ahead.”

Each installment will feature interviews with industry pioneers, historical photographs, and data-driven analysis of sector growth. The series will also include perspectives from current industry leaders on future trends and opportunities in their respective fields.

Midlands Business Journal’s 50th anniversary coverage will begin in January 2025 and continue throughout the year. Special print and digital components will complement the series, including an interactive timeline of major business milestones and a commemorative issue collecting all 28 segments for publication in late 2025.

The Visionary Behind MBJ

When Robert “Bob” Hoig founded the Midlands Business Journal in 1975, he set out to create something unprecedented in the Omaha market: a publication exclusively devoted to covering local business news and the entrepreneurs driving the region’s growth.

A seasoned journalist with experience at the Omaha WorldHerald, Chicago Daily News, and Associated Press, Hoig brought professional rigor and deep business insight to MBJ’s coverage. His commitment to independent business journalism helped establish MBJ as an authoritative voice in the Greater Omaha business community.

Known for his hands-on approach to journalism, Hoig was often seen personally covering stories and mentoring young business reporters. He pioneered the concept of focused business reporting in the region, introducing features like “40 Under 40”

and establishing a tradition of recognizing emerging business leaders.

Under his leadership, MBJ expanded beyond Omaha to serve Lincoln and Council Bluffs, creating a comprehensive view of the region’s business landscape. Hoig’s dedication to entrepreneurial journalism earned him numerous accolades, including induction into the Nebraska Press Association Hall of Fame.

Though he passed away in 2019, Bob Hoig’s legacy lives on in MBJ’s commitment to detailed, accurate business reporting and its focus on celebrating local business achievement. His vision of creating a publication that would serve as both a news source and a connector for the business community continues to guide MBJ’s mission today.

Today, Bob’s daughter Andrea “Andee” Hoig carries forward her father’s legacy while charting new territory for the publication. No stranger to publishing excellence, Andee made her own mark in the industry when she purchased Metro Magazine at age 26. For 35 years, she has been a leading voice covering the Greater Omaha area’s philanthropic scene. Her entrepreneurial spirit led to the launch of several successful publications, including The Giving Guide and Event Book in 2005 and 101 Things to Love about Omaha in 2012.

Since taking the helm of MBJ in October 2020, Andee has been instrumental in leading the publication into the future while maintaining the high journalistic standards established by her father. Under her leadership, MBJ continues to evolve and adapt to changing media landscapes while remaining true to its core mission of serving the Greater Omaha business community.

NATIONAL MENTORING MONTH A CATALYST FOR VOLUNTEERS

Underscoring the importance of mentorship, Nebraska is prioritizing efforts to bring more mentors into the fold. Savvy businesses and employers are recognizing the social responsibility and talent development benefits of mentorship.

Everyone is welcome

As Julie Madsen, mentoring and community outreach coordinator with Kids Can Community Center tells it, one doesn’t have to be an expert to be a mentor, but they do need to “have the heart.”

“If you’ve been considering mentoring, know that the experience is incredibly rewarding,” Madsen said. “There are also different types of mentoring structures – after school, one-on-one, group, community. Explore options and find the right fit for you.”

Madsen also emphasized that one doesn’t need to have the “same lived experience.”

“But you do need to be someone that will show up for a young person ready to learn and be there no matter what,” she said. “A sense of humor doesn’t hurt, either. If you are going to build a volcano kit or bake a cake with a kid, expect some playfulness and messes along the way.”

DEB

DENBECK PRESIDENT/CEO, PARTNERSHIP 4 KIDS

The Kids Can team likes to say mentors “get to be a kid again.”

“Mentees are looking for someone that brings out the best in them,” she added. “Mentees that feel seen and heard quickly gain confidence and show the most growth within their match.”

For this year’s National Mentoring Month, Kids Can is hosting a “bring a friend” event for current mentors to invite friends and associates to learn more about mentoring opportunities. And, for those who want to test the waters, Madsen said there are multiple volunteer roles year-round.

“From helping at a family night, volunteering in our classrooms, exploring our STEMsmart Academy, to reading to our preschool students, we have many opportunities available,” she said. “We also encourage organizations to serve as a team.”

When asked about promising trends in mentoring, Madsen said college students and young professionals are taking the lead.

“Plus, they are bringing their peers along for the fun,” she said. “There is a clear passion for service with our mentors and we often hear it’s because they had a mentor that helped support them when they were young, and they are drawn to give back themselves.”

COORDINATOR, KIDS CAN COMMUNITY CENTER

MENTOR Nebraska is leading a statewide effort to close what Executive Director Melissa Mayo called the “mentoring gap” for the 1 in 3 youth in the state who are growing up without a mentor.

“In partnership with the State of Nebraska, we’re launching a mentor recruitment campaign to connect more adults with mentoring opportunities,” Mayo said. “We’ll also advocate for mentoring policies with Nebraska’s policymakers and offer a free virtual training on January 21 to help adults embrace a mentoring mindset in their everyday interactions.”

For this observance month, Mayo also referenced how partner programs across the state are hosting their own respective recruitment events, too.

“Employers can join the mentoring movement by encouraging their teams to become mentors, hosting a mentor recruitment event at their workplace, or inviting MENTOR Nebraska to provide on-site training on creating a mentoring mindset,” she added. “Businesses can also lead by example by adopting policies that offer paid time off for employees to mentor.”

Year-round, Deputy Director Susie Owens said businesses can make a meaningful impact, starting with supporting training and consulting initiatives to encourage “a mentoring mindset.”

Such readiness also empowers employees with skills to support and guide young people’s growth.

“Partnering with MENTOR Nebraska allows businesses to invest in the next generation of leaders and create pathways for young people to realize their potential and build successful careers,” she said.

Mayo is buoyed by the individuals and businesses who have increasingly recommitted to volunteerism since the pandemic.

“However, many programs still face a critical shortage of mentors, leaving young people on waitlists statewide,” she remarked. “The governor’s mentoring initiative serves as a model program by allowing State of Nebraska employees to volunteer in their communities with paid time off.”

This approach helps employees overcome the challenges of balancing work, family and personal commitments.

“Mentoring relationships are a shared opportunity for learning and growth for both mentors and mentees,” Mayo said. “Together, they experience personal growth and learn more about themselves and each other, gain a better understanding of other cultures and develop a greater appreciation for diversity, and have fun through these shared experiences and relationship development.”

For businesses, investing in mentorship both contributes to the professional growth of individuals and creates a culture of innovation and collaboration that fuels longterm success.

“Research shows that employees of workplaces that support mentoring are happier and more engaged,” she said.

A team effort

Founded by Tom and Nancy Osborne in 1991, TeamMates Mentoring is a nonprofit that Marketing and Communications Manager Ashton Honnor said has grown to serve more than 49,000 students in its history and now serves 10,000 students in 187 chapters across a five-state area: Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas, South Dakota and Wyoming.

“Mentorship is so important for members of the business community because it affords them the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of students,” Honner said. “According to 2023 [and] 2024 TeamMates survey data, 92% of TeamMates mentors report that they leave their mentoring time in a better mood than when they arrived, and 84% of mentors report that they return to their workplace/home more engaged after mentoring.”

TeamMates will come to one’s business and support corporate recruitment activities.

“A lunch and learn is a great opportunity for us to do a 15-minute presentation about TeamMates Mentoring, how you can get involved and answer any questions about the program,” she stated.

Unlocking potential

The Keys Foundation is putting a spotlight on its Confidently Me! Mentorship Program during this month with special events and initiatives about the communitywide impact of mentoring, including a mentor appreciation brunch, career connections panel and community service day, according to CEO and founder Marquis Haynes.

“The Confidently Me! Mentorship Program creates lasting impacts not only for mentees but for the mentors and organizations involved,” she explained. “By investing in mentorship, [individuals] become part of a movement to close opportunity gaps, empower youth and build stronger, more connected communities.”

Haynes described the program as providing “measurable return on investment in terms of social impact and professional development for those involved.”

She said employers can support mentorship initiatives at The Keys Foundation

by sponsoring the brunch or workshops, participating in the speaker panel, encouraging employees to mentor, providing internships or job shadowing, or considering in-kind donations.

Individuals can also serve as guest speakers at conferences, sponsor college tours, lead etiquette training sessions, host “behind the scenes” field trips or share their knowledge through workshops.

“Promising trends include virtual mentorship, expanding access for mentees in underserved areas, group mentoring models, creating a collaborative environment with multiple mentors and mentees, [and] skills-based mentorship focusing on specific career or life skills tailored to mentees’ goals,” Haynes said.

Technology platforms are also helping contribute to ease of access by “simplifying communication, tracking progress and managing mentoring relationships.”

Opportunities abound

Mentoring nonprofit Partnership 4 Kids (P4K) offers year-round opportunities for every schedule.

President & CEO Debbie J. Denbeck said mentoring opportunities range from onetime experiences or can be on a more frequent schedule.

“All volunteer opportunities can be done individually or with a team of colleagues,” she said.

In fact, Denbeck isolated three of their most popular yearlong commitments: Book Buddies, Goal Buddies and Group Mentors.

Book Buddies supports literacy skill-building activities among early learners.

THE KEYS FOUNDATION.

Goal Buddies encourages academic and behavioral success with a focus on goal achievement. Group Mentors share insights from their lived experiences to help three to four middle and high school students stay positive and future focused.

Two short-term commitments: volunteering for a business pitch competition and conducting mock interviews.

For the “Shark Tank” style experience, business coaches and judges are needed to support small student groups in developing and presenting their business plans to business professionals. Mock interviews help 10th-grade students prepare for future job interviews.

“More workplaces are recognizing the value of giving back to their communities by offering employees paid time off for volunteering,” said Lacey Adams, volunteer recruitment and training supervisor with P4K. “This shift reflects a growing awareness of the mutual benefits of community engagement. Employees feel more connected, fulfilled, and aligned with their company’s values, while organizations like Partnership 4 Kids gain access to passionate, skilled individuals, eager to make a difference.”

Through mentorship, she said, young people are exposed to new possibilities and guidance to equip them with the tools to pursue careers in high-demand fields.

“By prioritizing mentorship, especially for youth from under-resourced backgrounds, corporations can help disrupt cycles of generational poverty and address growing workforce shortages,” Adams said.

This not only strengthens the local talent pipeline but also increases the number of residents earning sustainable wages, fostering economic growth and community stability.

The Future Workplace Environment

EXPLORING TRENDS RESHAPING WORK CULTURE

BRENDA DOOLEY SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT OF FIRST NATIONAL BUILDINGS, FNBO

CYNDI

WENNINGHOFF

DIRECTOR OF EMPLOYEE SUCCESS, QUANTUM WORKPLACE

As the pandemic slides further into the past, more employers are shifting to on-site work for employees in favor of increased collaboration and culture, according to a Society of Human Resource Management (SHRM) survey of HR professionals.

However, McKinsey & Company research shows employee needs have shifted more toward location and work hour flexibility making the definition of the new normal in the workplace a bit tricky.

“We just went full throttle, and in two and half years modernized all our floors in the tower,” said Brenda Dooley, senior vice president of First National Buildings at FNBO, about the corporate headquarters renovation completed at the end of 2023.

FNBO is one Omaha company that could be a model for the hybrid work environment and what Dooley called a “modern flexible workplace.”

Cyndi Wenninghoff, director of employee success at Quantum Workplace in Omaha, said recent research identified six areas for leaders to consider for positive impact on employee engagement including flexibility in location, days, tasks performed, time of day, team (who you work with) and weekly shifts.

Flexible, fluid and friendly

Dooley reflected on the building project that took place in 2002 when the FNBO headquarters moved to the current “tower” location at 1620 Dodge St. That project created learning for a progressive work environment that was needed for the future. COVID then accelerated ideas that were already being experimented with along with the drivers behind them.

“We just slammed the pedal down and went fast and hard,” Dooley said about the 2023 revamp.

For Dooley’s team, partnering with human resources was a key to success, recognizing that “the modern flexible workplace isn’t just physical.” Workplace policies and technology enabled the mobile workforce, she said, and promoting those things with different work teams maximized the desired outcomes.

“Innovation and organizational agility help you be more efficient, and then the fourth outcome we wanted was talent,” Dooley said. “We wanted to attract and retain talent.”

FNBO introduced flexible workstations, focus rooms, standing desks, informal collaboration zones and a welcoming environment with natural light and vibrant colors. Zoom-equipped rooms were designed to ensure seamless remote and in-office interactions.

“Private spaces” have replaced dedicated offices. Today, the workplace is more “energetic” and “fluid,” Dooley said, with employees moving around throughout the day, providing for greater efficiency from a space perspective.

Dooley said employee satisfaction surveys averaged an impressive 4.6

out of 5, and employees adapted well to the changes. Around 25-30% of FNBO’s workforce works entirely on-site, while another 25-30% is fully remote. The remaining employees operate on a hybrid schedule, typically spending two to three days in the office. “Hoteling” allows for efficient use of space, while those who are in-office more frequently have dedicated workstations.

Amenities such as a cafeteria and coffee shop offer informal social settings emphasizing a shift toward collaboration-friendly environments.

“Given where we’d all been with COVID, it really was something we’d all thirsted for,” Dooley said. “We substituted ‘me space’ for ‘we space.’”

Real estate trends

Jeanette Weber, broker at Investors Realty in Omaha, specializes in leasing and sales of office properties. Working closely with landlords, tenants and business owners her approach emphasizes tailored solutions, noting that Omaha’s commercial real estate market is increasingly focused on flexibility, accessibility and alignment with post-pandemic workplace trends.

“Many tenants are reassessing their space needs due to hybrid work models,” Weber said. “While some have downsized, others are signing leases for larger spaces.”

A recent “flurry of activity” in behavioral and developmental support service organizations are requiring accessible locations. In addition, Weber is seeing a “significant uptick” in the financial services industry. Tenants such as financial planners “desire offices with great views and a central location,” she said.

Other trends include subleasing spaces that are prevalent but have declined from pandemic heights with particularly strong activity along the West Dodge corridor, signaling a demand for well-positioned properties.

While rent rates are climbing with Class A office spaces, Weber said tenants are weighing costs and benefits of enhanced features and locations in highly sought-after mixed-use areas such as the new Heartwood Preserve in Omaha.

Proximity to amenities, such as dining and retail, paired with an attractive work environment is critical.

Buildings that have a ‘wow factor’ typically with a staged common area, she said, include modern furniture and décor and onsite fitness and conference facilities.

Workplace well-being

McKinsey Global Institute research discusses “hospitality-oriented” workplaces to attract office tenants interested in coworking and community. Omaha features these spaces in urban landscapes and mixed-

use areas that are modular and adaptable to variable work patterns.

Heather Legge, founder of Envision Success Inc., provides professional coaching services. Motivated by her team expansion, she recently transitioned from a home office to Modus Coworking at 1901 Howard St. in Omaha.

She finds the “intentional” design fosters focus and creativity while accommodating her need for client visits, event space and a balance between home and work.

“I really wanted something colorful, energizing, comfortable and conducive to focused work,” Legge said.

Legge’s clients are typically forward-thinking small business owners, managing principals and directors who prioritize work-life harmony and employee autonomy over purely “squeezing” out productivity, she said.

Many organizations have retained pre-pandemic office setups but are exploring ways to support employee well-being.

Legge said while some companies insist on a physical office presence, productivity doesn’t always correlate with being in office. The outdated management mindset of needing to “see” employees for them to be productive is unfounded.

“Whether you’re in the office, or in a home, or in a coworking space, I think just really making the effort to create as much of that support structure for yourself as you can in choosing where you work is going to help,” Legge said.

What Wenninghoff is seeing is a definite shift to hybrid models in Omaha with workforces in the office just three days a week and some that will begin with amended schedules in 2025.

“People want to feel trusted to deliver great results, no matter when or where they work.” Wenninghoff said. “They want to be evaluated on their output, not their hours. They want to let their work speak for themselves.”

Hybrid leadership

“I feel very comfortable that our business units decided what works for them and their senior leadership,” Dooley said. “There’s not one-size-fits-all, but flexibility is here to stay. I think everybody landed in this hybrid middle.”

Legge emphasized that companies that are resistant to flexibility may risk losing talent.

“Hybrid is the new normal,” Legge said. “I don’t see us moving away from that. The best leaders are the ones asking their employees what they need to thrive.”

Beyond logistics, FNBO’s efforts underscore the cultural shift required for hybrid work success. Partnering with human resources, Dooley said, helped managers adapt and maintain dynamics. Effective leadership is crucial for sustaining engagement and productivity.

Forward thinking

Quantum Workplace thought leaders predict in the next few years the debate over remote versus on-site employees will still be happening. Wenninghoff said she hopes that by that point “we will have shifted to more nuanced conversations about how to make it work better.”

FNBO’s 2023 reimagined workplace aligns with goals to remain competitive, forward-thinking and technically progressive. It has hosted tours and shared learning with other organizations.

“We want to be around another 165 plus years, and you have to adapt and change,” Dooley said. “While It’s not the magic answer to life or to the whole world, it’s part of your culture and part of how you operate.”

180th Face on the Barroom Floor

RICK AND CAROL RUSSELL PROVIDE BLUEPRINT TO SUCCESS

For 54 years, Rick and Carol Russell have been united in marriage. It’s the perfect example of how opposites can attract and succeed – when each spouse gives the other space to do their own thing.

The Omaha super couple was roasted at the Omaha Press Club on Dec. 5, as they were honored as the 180th Face on the Barroom Floor. The ongoing theme of the evening was how they work so well together to make our community a better place.

Rick Russell, who has been a key executive in the family business, Millard Lumber Inc., for more than 50 years, said, “We work good as a couple – not 24/7.”

Carol Russell said, “We’ve been married 54 years, because I stayed out of the lumber business. I schmooze well. Rick is off to the side.” The Russells cancel each other’s vote in some elections, but they also stand side-by-side at multiple events nearly every week.

Dr. Laura Jana served as emcee for the event. She made it clear that the Russells were too nice to roast. “As a pediatrician, I never want to make fun of anyone,” she said. “Nice is rarely funny.”

Nancy Williams, managing partner, Block 27 Consulting and founder/ former CEO of No More Empty Pots, began her roast by saying she would not be as soft on the Russells as Jana. “I can be irreverent, and I can use a lot of expletives,” she said. “My favorite expletive is the F-bomb.” Williams didn’t dig into her expletive bag, but rather opted to give

her observations of being with the Russells. She tossed out several terms to describe Carol Russell – animated, super connector, supportive, encouraging, doting grandmother.

She called Rick Russell “a man of few words,” adding “he is one of the most attentive spouses I’ve ever seen….I’ve never seen them share disparaging comments about each other.”

As an African-American, Williams praised the Russells for their strong belief in racial equity and justice for all. With more people like the Russells, Williams said, “Omaha might be ready to move the needle” in its racial relations.

The temperature in the room started to rise with the third roaster of the evening – Don Rowe, a member of the Omaha City Council and a longtime associate at Millard Lumber.

Rowe detailed how Millard Lumber purchased Hoppe Lumber in Lincoln in 1987. The merger resulted in frequent business meetings between Rick Russell and John Hoppe, Jr. Their fathers were both in the lumber business and were good friends. John and Rick traveled to many out-of-town industry events. The trips, Rowe said, were “more about drinking Scotch whiskey and playing Pac-Man.”

Rowe described how he and Russell attended a conference to hear a man named Bernie Marcus discuss his ideas for the future of the lumber business. Rowe said Rick Russell’s reaction to the presentation was, “There is no way

BY

this is going to work. It’s too dark, too junky.”

Turns out, Bernie Marcus’s idea was to create a company called Home Depot. An initial small investment would have been worth tens of millions of dollars today. Rowe needled Rick Russell, “I’d call that a miss.”

Rowe shared that Rick Russell has a passion for photography and even has a photograph on display at Gallery 1516, an Omaha art gallery. Russell likes photographing birds, such as sandhill cranes and great horned owls. His first owl encounter was in the 1970s when the northern spotted owl restricted logging in the Pacific Northwest.

Rowe said it’s not uncommon for Rick Russell to exclaim around 2:30 or 3 p.m., “The bald eagles are flying out at Chalco. I’ve got to go.”

Rowe also had commentary directed at Carol Russell, saying, “She’s been on more boards than we’ve ever had in stock at the lumber yard…with all her experience with nonprofits, Carol should consider joining the Millard Lumber board.”

The roast concluded with family insights from the three Russell children – Joel Russell, Sara Boyd and Mark Russell.

Boyd, who is founder of Ascend Advisory, a company that aims to help others reach their full potential, called herself “the middle child – the most well-adjusted.” Boyd is former president of the Omaha Community Foundation.

She remarked, “I’m so funny, that my son just got up and went to the bathroom” right before she began her roast.

Calling her mother “a social butterfly,” Boyd said she thought it was a routine part of childhood “to have to stuff envelopes for Girls, Inc.”

Joel Russell, the oldest son, serves as CEO of Millard Lumber. He noted that it’s not uncommon for his parents to attend evening functions six or seven nights a week with all their community activities.

“Rick’s idea of a vacation,” Joel Russell said, “is when mom schedules a surgery…then he doesn’t have to go out six or seven nights a week.”

Joel Russell corrected Rowe’s earlier comment that Rick Russell likes to leave work early around 2:30 or 3 p.m. for special meetings or to tend to his photography hobby. “It’s more like 11 a.m.,” he said.

The roast concluded with youngest son, Mark Russell, who is Millard Lumber’s sales market manager for the Lincoln area. Mark Russell’s antics as a child showed his parents “what parenting really meant and made my dad grow bald.”

He learned all about what it means to volunteer, or as he calls it “volun-told.” One benefit, Mark Russell said, was when his mother would volunteer at Prevent Blindness, it meant he could go to Family Fun Center.

With eyes tearing and voice cracking, Mark Russell wrapped up the roast by saying, “My parents mean so much to me. Love you guys.”

ARTIST’S DESCRIPTION OF RUSSELL CARICATURE

Face on the Barroom Floor artist, Jeff Koterba, depicted Rick and Carol Russell as builders, not only with lumber, but as visionaries in the community. They touch lives, not only in Millard, but in Omaha and beyond.

The family’s foundation is Millard Lumber, and the Russells are pictured next to the company’s iconic logo while holding blueprints and yardsticks. They’re also surrounded by stacks of lumber labeled “Faith, family, and community.”

Two forklifts are carrying stacks of lumber, moving here and there, yet coming together for a common cause. “It’s all about their strong foundation to help others,” Koterba said.

Rather than try to list the countless organizations which have benefitted from the volunteer and philanthropy efforts of the Russells, Koterba portrayed a heart filled with donations. He also included a wallet from Warren Buffett, which Carol Russell used to raise $270,000 for Girls, Inc.

In the distance, Koterba shows Estes Park, a preferred vacation spot for the Russell family, plus a mountain range with two flags representing their favorite schools –Nebraska and Creighton.

When is a Good Time to Invest in the Stock Market?

There’s a long-lasting saying when it comes to equity investing; “time in the market beats timing the market.” Of course, it’s long-lasting because it’s generally true. However, it keeps getting repeated because not enough people follow such advice. Bear markets are scary, so investing additional dollars during them may seem like a bad idea. Many think they’re better off just waiting it out until things calm down. However, when volatility finally settles, prices are usually at higher levels. Then some wonder whether they missed their opportunity. Instead, they’re left sitting on cash, waiting for that “right” moment, which may never come.

A recent study by Charles Schwab evaluated how five hypothetical people with different styles invested their money. Each received $2,000 at the start of the year for 20 years to invest in the S&P 500. These hypothetical portfolios were based on actual performance of this benchmark through 2022, and assumed a buy-and-hold strategy once invested. Unsurprisingly, the one with perfect timing that invested their $2,000 into the market every year at the lowest closing point did the best. However, this skill obviously does not exist. A close second was immediately investing the $2,000 on the first trading day of every year, which lagged “perfection” by only $10,537. Next was dollar-cost averaging where the individual invested in equal tranches at the start of each month. The one with the worst timing, or investing at the year’s market highs, placed fourth. A distant last was someone who just couldn’t get off the sidelines and stuck with Treasury bills, waiting for a better opportunity that never came.

While this study took place from 2002 to 2022, Schwab looked at 78 different 20-year periods dating back to 1926 and found similar results across all periods. Investing immediately never came in last. In fact, it beat dollarcost averaging in every 30, 40, and 50-year period. With that being said, dollar-cost averaging can be a good strategy if you’re prone to regret your decision after a short-term drop. Nothing did worse than staying in cash –even against the worst market timers.

Peter Lynch famously said, “Far more money has been lost by investors trying to anticipate corrections than lost in the corrections themselves.” Now that the most recent bear market is over, we believe many investors can relate.

The good news is that it’s not too late.

Midwest Leaders Q&A

KITA LAVENDER, CLINICAL MENTAL HEALTH THERAPIST, YOUTH EMERGENCY SERVICES

Midwest Leaders is a weekly section showcasing individuals who are making an impact in our community through their professional and volunteer endeavors. If you’d like to nominate someone for this section, email news@mbj.com with the individual name, position, company and email.

Bio:

Kita Lavender recently joined Youth Emergency Services (YES) as its first residential therapist and supervises students completing practicum hours through the University of Nebraska Omaha. Prior to joining YES, Lavender worked for Project Harmony where she helped connect clients with appropriate therapeutic resources after forensic interviews. She received her Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling through Walden University.

What inspired you to join the mental health profession?

My high school guidance counselor was my initial motivation for wanting to go into the counseling field. She was so personable and took the time to truly get to know students, which went a long way for me. So, when I started my educational journey, I knew I wanted to do some form of counseling because of her. As I dove deeper into my classes and research, I not only realized how badly more resources were needed in community mental health, I also discovered how passionate I was about it. I have since narrowed that interest down even further towards at-risk youth/adolescents and trafficking survivors.

What is the best piece of advice someone has given you?

A professor of mine once told our class “change the way you think, change your life” and that quote has stuck with me throughout the years. Not only is it incredibly relevant to my profession, but such a simple line holds so much meaning. I’ve often referred back to it in various situations to help me look at things from a different perspective, which has led to altering my way of thinking on more than one occasion.

When the days are long and hard, how do you take care of your own mental health?

I have an innate talent of leaving work at work and home at home, which is how I take care of my mental health the easiest. My professional world is an escape from my personal world and vice versa, so I truly like to focus on the place I’m at the best I can. When I’m at home I’m surrounded by the people in my life and am mostly unplugged from my phone, which helps me reset myself for the upcoming workday so I can show up as my best self.

Nebraska Extension Receives USDA Grant

STRENGTHENING EXTREME WEATHER

BY GEITNER SIMMONS, IANR MEDIA

Nebraska Extension has received a $300,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture to engage in a statewide collaborative strategy strengthening preparedness and response capabilities to address extreme weather events.

Through the effort, Extension will work with communities across Nebraska impacted by recent severe weather to identify specific local needs and strengthen partnerships. The project will bolster preparedness and response training for Extension personnel to help communities affected by extreme weather events such as tornadoes, floods, blizzards and wildfires.

“Nebraska Extension is recognized as a local community partner that is responsive to issues that impact the lives of Nebraskans every day,” said Dave Varner, Extension associate dean and associate director. “This investment aligns with our land-grant mission, and we look forward to collaborating with both federal and local partners to help Nebraskans recover from recent extreme weather events.”

USDA’s National Institute of Food and Agriculture is providing the one-year competitive grant through its Agriculture and Food Research Initiative, the nation’s flagship competitive grants program for food and agricultural sciences.

As part of the project, Extension will work with local partners on strategies for protecting domestic water supplies from contamination; mitigating safety risks at homes, farms and ranches; supporting opportunities to strengthen the resilience of young children, youth, adults and caregivers; promoting safe practices for those involved in disaster response and recovery; facilitating food safety during power outages; and ensuring that disaster-struck communities have access to nutritious and affordable shelf-stable foods.

“We are grateful for this funding, which will help Nebraska Extension support individuals, families and communities as they recover from recent disasters and severe weather events,” said Soni Cochran, Extension educator and statewide

disaster education coordinator. “It will also expand our outreach and disaster education efforts to strengthen the preparedness and resilience of all Nebraskans.”

Cochran is principal investigator for the project. Co-principal investigators are Varner and Kim Bearnes, Extension educator in Stanton County.

Survey results on disaster preparedness by the Federal Emergency Management Agency will aid the project, as will sources including the Nebraska Rural Poll. “This project strengthens the capacity of Extension to work cooperatively and strategically to identify gaps and provide solutions during all phases of disasters while focusing on recovery,” Extension wrote in its grant application. “Through these efforts, Extension is dedicated to helping all people co-create a better tomorrow.”

FUSION’S 2024 PHILANTHROPIC IMPACT

In true spirit of the company’s core purpose, “to improve the lives of everyone we touch,” Fusion exceeded its community engagement and charitable giving goals for 2024. Employees at the Omaha-based healthcare company contributed more than 4,000 volunteer and community engagement hours and Fusion and its employees donated a combined $274,000 to various organizations.

In the company’s 15 years in business, it has supported organizations across the Omaha community, as well as national charities making a difference. Fusion has long-standing relationships with several local nonprofits, including MS Forward, Project Pink’d, and Angels Among Us, all of which have a personal connection to Fusion employees.

“Fusion employees are passionate and driven to do good in our community,” said Chief People Officer Jackie Froendt. “The company provides the opportunities and then our people show up and make the good work happen. It’s amazing to see what our whole team can accomplish when they rally around a cause.”

An impactful addition to Fusion’s giving is the Compassion in Care scholarship program, developed to support future nurses through financial support and mentorship. In 2024, ten recipients were awarded the four-year renewable Compassion in Care scholarships of $5,000.

Other impactful initiatives by the Fusion team include the support of Alpaca, an organization aiding educators across the Midwest and the country, and tornado relief volunteerism following devastating tornados that hit Nebraska this spring.
