    Suzann Esposito   In my free time - In my free time, I love to play cornhole with my husband and fellow cornhole family. It is such a fun and relaxing game that we both enjoyed. I also enjoy watching my son play baseball for Lake Erie College in Ohio. It is amazing to see him develop his skills and grow as a player. And when I am not playing or watching sports, I love to curl up with a good book and get lost in a great story. Reading is the perfect way to unwind and escape from the stresses of everyday life. When did you realize you wanted to open your own business? During a girl's day with a friend, I visited a salt cave and was amazed at how much it helped with their respiratory issues. I did some research and found that salt therapy, also known as halotherapy, had been used for centuries to treat respiratory and skin conditions. I was so excited about the idea of opening my own salt therapy business, and after months of planning and preparation, I was finally ready to open their doors.  As more and more customers are starting to come in and share their positive experiences, the word has begun to spread. People were noticing a significant improvement in their respiratory health, and some even reported relief from skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis. Love about owning own business? When I first decided to open my own holistic salt therapy business, I had no idea how much it would impact my life. I had always been interested in natural remedies and alternative therapies, but I never imagined that I would be able to turn that passion into a successful business. As soon as I opened my doors, I was amazed at how many people were interested in trying salt therapy. Some were dealing with respiratory issues like allergies or asthma, while others were struggling with skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis. But no matter what brought them to my business, I was determined to help them find relief. But what I love most about owning my own business is the sense of fulfillment it brings me. Every day, I get to help people feel better and live more vibrant lives. And there's nothing more rewarding than seeing the smile on someone's face when they realize that they're finally finding relief from a chronic condition. About me? My name is Suzann Esposito and I have been married to Jerry Esposito for almost 26 years. We live in Beech Grove, Indiana, a small town that is full of friendly faces and tight-knit communities. We have one son, Garrett, who is the pride and joy of our lives. Garrett plays baseball for Lake Erie College in Ohio and we couldn't be more proud of his accomplishments. Through all the ups and downs of parenting and marriage, Jerry and I have always supported each other and held each other up. Our love for each other and our son has only grown stronger over the years, and we are grateful for every moment we get to spend together as a family.   Thank you for following Everyday Leaders.

    Dr. Robyn Wright   I've been immersed in healthcare for as long as I can remember. After earning my undergraduate degree at La Salle University, I managed a series of weight loss centers and even started my own health coaching business before entering medical school. In 2018, I earned my medical degree from the Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine, and upon graduation, I completed a year-long residency in primary care. With over two decades of professional experience, my journey has taken me through various roles, from front desk reception to back office administration, and even a pharmaceutical rep. Yet, it was during my time in weight loss centers that something truly clicked. Witnessing individuals try various approaches, often with little or no success, was an eye-opening experience (some even went great lengths for weight loss surgery, and still gained their weight back). As a naturopathic doctor, I found that by addressing underlying health concerns, following healthy eating principles, and making lifestyle adjustments, my patients were truly able to transform their health! Seeing my patients revel in their results with pride and joy is what motivates me to strive for excellence as your naturopathic physician. My goal is to equip YOU with the knowledge to take control of your health, address the root causes of your concerns, and guide you towards achieving sustainable, transformative results.   Thank you for following Everyday Leaders.

His clinical focus is working with adolescents and young adults who may be dealing with anxiety, depression, relational difficulties, anger issues, and other emotional regulation issues. Darin uses many concepts from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and trauma focused-cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT) to provide practical tools which may include mutually agreed upon homework. He utilizes family systems theory, and the exploration of childhood development and trauma history that may have an impact on the client's present day by using some aspects of modern psychodynamic approaches. Darin is QPR certified and has been trained in Prolonged Exposure (PE) therapy. Many times people come to therapy overwhelmed and perhaps even questioning if they should be seeking help at all. Darin wants to partner with you to find the treatment that will work best for you in this process and remind you that there is hope and that you do matter. Darin believes that the most important aspect of the therapeutic experience is the presence of someone who will listen and care for you no matter what you may be facing.

That beat-up old car and I began traveling all over central Indiana teaching CPR to anyone willing to learn. A passion more powerful than I could have ever imagined developed from that. I have taught thousands of parents, foster parents, teachers, nurses, healthcare workers, coaches, trainers, warehouse/factory workers, and countless others throughout the years.

    Meet Susan Lowe Dedicating my career to senior care, I did some research on opening an Adult Day Care Center and learned that most rural communities in Indiana did not have this service and seniors were potentially doing without needed assistance. After achieving my goal to become a licensed administrator and run an assisted living community, I still had a strong desire to serve my senior neighbors in my community. With over 30 years working in corporate-based senior care, I stepped away and opened my own company, A Senior Retreat, providing adult day services to decrease senior isolation, and give seniors a purpose again through socialization, peer engagement, and fun, yet therapeutic activities. While the initial focus was on the clients' experiences, our program is ultimately for the family caregivers. Our goal is to be their trusted care partner for their loved ones and their resource through their caregiving journey! After putting together a business plan, my investor helped me with the initial start-up costs. The name came from my desire to create a fun, warm, welcoming environment for seniors whom we call “our Friends” to “retreat” while their family caregiver was at work or needed time away. Thus, A Senior Retreat, Adult Day Services came to mind. In designing our logo, I knew it needed to have butterflies to symbolize seniors when they participate in peer activities and find purpose and happiness rather than isolation at home in front of a television. It's AMAZING! They do spread their wings and fly like butterflies! We opened our first center in Martinsville, Indiana in June 2019 serving Morgan County. It was a vacant church and would serve 25-30 clients per day. In March 2022, we opened our second location in Franklin, Indiana to serve Johnson County. It is a 1951 house and feels like a “home away from home.” Our goal is to open several centers in rural counties of south-central Indiana in the next several years.   Thank you for following Everyday Leaders.

Tyrone had a vision of turning one of his books, War Behind Bars into a stage play. He made that happen with just his own financial backing. The cast is all local adults and youth. The majority of the cast has been incarcerated or have had run-ins with the law. Some of them have never acted before, danced or sung in front of an audience. War Behind Bars first premiered at the historic Madame CJ Walker Theater in January of 2022, second showing was at the Warren Performing Arts Center in April of 2022 and the finale was performed at Pike Performing Arts Center in April 2023. Some of these experiences have not been very pleasant, to say the least. Experiences like this are what led Tyrone to start his own publishing company, Te's Publishing House, and his not-for-profit Te's House of Thoughts. Te's House of Thoughts offers free assistance to individuals on how to put their creative thoughts into book form and publish their own book, how to use their creative talents in acting, singing, and dance, and even how to turn their creative hobby into a business.

When selecting a non-profit to partner with, impact was important to us, and we would like to think the partnerships we have made will impact the lives of young people in Johnson County for years to come.

    This week's Everyday Business Leader celebrates Rose Myers: I never aspired to be a martial artist, nor to own and operate a martial arts school, but God had other plans that I followed willingly. *MY* plan was earning an Environmental Engineering degree from the University of Dayton and working to protect the state of Indiana working at IDEM (Indy's EPA). Then I was told I had a hormonal disease that prevented me from conceiving children. But God is greater than science and had bigger plans for me. After giving birth, I retired from my engineering job for this single chance of parenting my precious child. Backing up a bit, my senior year in college someone was raped by my campus house, driving me to seek training from my internship co-worker at Wright Patterson Air Force Base. After college I relocated to Indiana, entered the ATA, and began formal training. I earned my First Degree Black Belt and entered the Certified Instructor Training program in December of 1999. I earned my Instructor Certification and signed my first contract to teach in 2002, not knowing I was pregnant. After my daughter was born, I opened a taekwondo program within the Greenwood Community Center, so I could enjoy her during the day, and her dad could enjoy her at night while I taught. Many students and 3 locations later, my husband retired from his engineering career and came to work for Pilsung. ATA requires the rank of 6 th Degree Black belt and completion of an extensive program to earn the title of Master Instructor. My “covid project” was passing one of the most unique tests in ATA history and completing the year-long Mastership process in 2021. That year I was honored locally as the Center Grove Icon of the year. Last year I celebrated 25 years in the ATA and 20 years running my own program. Pilsung is the Korean word for “Personal Victory,” that sense of accomplishment after doing something worthy. I chose the name as a reminder of my goal for every student. Yes, we teach traditional martial arts, but they're really a vehicle to deliver the truly important life skills. I have the honor an privilege of growing students in discipline, honor, respect, self-esteem, belief, and leadership. We work hard to have a positive impact on our community through their Black Belt community projects, as well as partnering with valuable organizations within the community. I strive to create better leaders to “be the change I wish to see in the world.” https://pilsungata.com/ https://fb.watch/pOpVKdnoV_/ https://www.gofundme.com/f/julians-fight-against-myleodysplastic-syndrome https://myiconmedia.com/center-grove-icon-december-18-31-2021/ https://www.wthr.com/article/life/greenwood-woman-reaches-rare-milestone-in-taekwondo-pilsung-martial-arts-rose-myers-indiana-black-belt-sixth-6th-degree-indiana/531-cfc8cd84-18a7-4fbd-ac35-9899b5b816fb https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1TmjDBYTsyY   Thank you for following Everyday Leaders.

    I am a financial professional with a passion for adventure and a love for my family. My wife, Jennifer, the Head Coach for Franklin College's Women's Soccer team and our two children, Atlas (3) and Skylar (2), bring joy and fulfillment to my life. Alongside them, our 15-year-old black lab, Olie, completes our happy home. Throughout my life, I have accomplished various feats. On a whim, I moved to Colorado's San Luis Valley to work on a honeybee farm for a year. I've ran across the clouds in the Leadville Ultra and summited Mt Rainier; having had the opportunity to watch glass grass grow within its crater. I hike, backpack, climb, swim, sand/snowboard, and most often wander. I love to run. Especially on dirt trails. I've excelled at almost every sport I've played…soccer being the most revered. It's global. And I believe that life can be simplified down to what happens between four lines, two goals and a black and white ball. I believe in teamwork. When I'm not in my suit I wear superhero T's on the regular…and often believe I am one. I love people. When asked what the most important attributes are person can have, I start with the ability to listen, ability to share, and ability to learn. In that order. I'm a teacher, student, and philosopher whose favorite video game is TLoZ. In addition to my personal pursuits, I am a financial professional running a small firm that covers two-thirds of Indiana. Our firm specializes in retirement planning, life insurance, investments, and other financial services. I am extremely proud of the team we have within Modern Woodmen Fraternal Financial. Aside from being a part of a organization that helped to raise over $44 million dollars across the country ($3.3 million here in Indiana!) and is determined to make a lasting impact within our community, we are also dedicated to helping our clients navigate the complex world of finance and make informed decisions that align with their long-term goals and aspirations. With a personalized approach, we strive to provide comprehensive solutions that address the unique needs and circumstances of each individual, couple, family or business we serve. As a fiduciary, we prioritize the best interests of our clients and uphold the highest standards of integrity and professionalism. Our commitment to excellence sets us apart, and we take pride in building lasting relationships based on trust and transparency I bring a diverse range of experiences and a love for sports, literature, and the arts to my life and work. Within the central Indiana region, I run a small firm that doubles as a catalyst for positive impact within the community and resource for financial security – specializing in retirement planning, life insurance, investments, and other financial services for everyone.

Today's Everyday Business Leader is Kerry Carmicheal   I have been involved with The Refuge on many different levels from the very beginning. When the founding director moved to Florida, I had the honor and priveledge of stepping in and leading the staff and volunteers to serve our community. We are all called to serve and help our neighbors, but this is an honor to be part of a community that cares deeply and loves intently. Many do not realize the needs that exist in our community – so awareness is key. But once you are aware of a need – you HAVE to respond. Especially for Christians – we are called to love. I am married and have 6 beautiful daughters, and 6 amazing grandchildren. I love being a mamaw. I take my role in their lives serious.

Today's Everyday Business Leaders Stefany Dolan and Stacia Jones. Stefany is a wife, mother, and entrepreneur. After over 10 years as a dental hygienist, she made the jump with the rest of her family to create and launch becauseOne. She loves the country life but is always willing to drive to visit family, friends or enjoy a good meal. She enjoys being barefoot in her garden and relishes a good 2:00 coffee. Stefany's Quote: I'm always perpetually out of my comfort zone. Tory Burch Stacia is a woman of many hats: wife, dog mom, licensed financial advisor assistant, and executive with becauseOne. While helping run the family financial advising firm, she took lead with the development and launch of becauseOne. She loves her Jeep almost as much as her dog. She enjoys a fun day out equally as much as a day at home relaxing, watching movies or reading a book. Her humor is witty and she's always good for a one liner. Stacia's Quote: Leadership requires two things: a vision of the world that does not exist and the ability to communicate it.
