Business Briefcase
ByConnorDziawura
IN THE BIZ
Good day, readers! Boy, it sure is hot here in the Valley. Especially hot was the 100-plus degree weather during the unveiling of Gorbel’s new manufacturing facility in Goodyear, as you read on page four. In other news, several West Valley properties sold, the West Phoenix-based Estrella Medical Plaza II is making progress, ribbon-cuttings galore are approaching, and the Southwest Valley Chamber of Commerce, of course, has more great events coming soon. So, allow me to get on with the details. Here’s the news! To start, I’ve mentioned Plaza Companies’ Estrella Medical Plaza II several times in recent months. Well, the roof is complete at a height of 76 feet. This allows interior tenant improvements to begin. Though previously expected to open in December, it is now said to open in January. It is still approximately 40-percent leased, with Valley Urologic Associates, The CORE Institute and Sonora Quest signed on as tenants, as I have mentioned in past Business Briefcase columns. The four-story and 64,000-squarefoot Estrella Medical Plaza II is located alongside Estrella Medical Plaza I in the Banner Estrella Medical Center. The campus is at 9201 W. Thomas Road, Phoenix, several blocks north of Tolleson. Moving along, NAI Horizon
announced a variety of sales across the Valley, several of which are right in our neighborhood! The first is a 4,011-square-foot office property at 14445 W. McDowell Road, Goodyear, which sold for $1 million. Tennefos Property LLP bought the property from CAZ Investments LLC. NAI Horizon Vice President Tyler Smith represented the seller, while Bob Broyles, senior vice president of investment properties with Colliers International, represented the buyer. The second sale, a 1.16-acre property, went for $950,000. Seller The Market at Estrella Falls was represented by Chris Gerow, Shelby Tworek, Gabe Ortega and Patrick Anthony. The Market at Estrella Falls is located at 1600 N. PebbleCreek Parkway, Goodyear. Now, let’s address the Missouribased Columbia College, which is hosting welcome week because the academic advising office is open. One event is from 8 to 9:30 a.m. Thursday, August 2. An education leaders industry roundtable will be held at Columbia College’s academic advising office. Light breakfast and coffee will be provided. This event is free and open to all business leaders, though reservations are required. To reserve your space, or to request more information, contact Goodyear Economic Development Project Manager Darah Mann at darah.mann@ (USPS 004-616) is published weekly

Beyond the classroom ByJohnSafin Shakespeare and Rush musician Getty Lee told us that all the world is a stage. It’s a brilliant concept that’s lasted hundreds of years. Look at it from a different point of view: All the world is a classroom. Sure, school is good. We’re supposed to learn all the basics of life from kindergarten through high school. It’s a 12-year crash course for us to catch up on what everyone else knows. Parents are also part of our early training years. Influencers include friends, television, music, movies and social media. For knowledge and skills for our future, we go to college or technical school. All along the way we’re supposed to start thinking and doing for ourselves. That’s when we learn, or teach, by experiencing the real-world classroom. I recently read an article about a Boston Marathon runner who brought his entire family with him to this year’s race. His kids experienced the mara-
thon, witnessed the dedication and determination of their dad and thousands of runners, learned the importance of the phrase “Boston Strong,” met people from all over the country, ate food native to Boston, toured several Revolutionary War sites, and all while deepening the family bond. A living experience that couldn’t be taught or learned by sitting in a classroom. How about you? Learning and teaching never stops, and there are many examples. Actor Keanu Reeves learns all the skills necessary for him to play a part in a movie. Look online to see what he had to do for The Matrix trilogy and the John Wick movies. I’m 54 and a half years old. I still take classes and I teach classes. I have mentors and I’m a mentor to several people. I read books to become smarter and write books to share my experiences. I know people younger and older than me who do the same. The world is like a fast-
moving river and everyone is paddling up stream. The minute you slow down is the moment you start falling behind. Teaching, tutoring or mentoring is a great way for you to help someone else paddle faster. “What can I do?” is a question I’m asked when encouraging someone to teach or mentor. My answer: You know more than you think. You have skills or experiences unique to only you that can be shared. Write a list of all you know and have done. You’ll be surprised how many pages you’ll fill. If all the world is a stage and we are its players, you and all of us have the opportunity to be the star of the show. It’s up to you to know your role and step into the spotlight.
