Chris Holman welcomes back Scott Weaver, President, and Co-Owner of Douglas J Companies, Okemos, East Lansing, across Michigan, Illinois, Tennessee, Nebraska. What drove the decision to end the 30+ year exclusive Aveda partnership and rebrand as Douglas J Institute? How does introducing multiple product lines better prepare students for the realities of today's salon and spa industry? With new distribution of Back of Bottle and Color Space, how does this expand Douglas J's business model beyond education? Douglas J is now several generations strong—how do you balance honoring tradition with making bold, future-focused changes? What trends in beauty, wellness, and education do you see shaping the next decade for Douglas J and the industry at large? » Visit MBN website: www.michiganbusinessnetwork.com/ » Subscribe to MBN's YouTube: www.youtube.com/@MichiganbusinessnetworkMBN » Like MBN: www.facebook.com/mibiznetwork » Follow MBN: twitter.com/MIBizNetwork/ » MBN Instagram: www.instagram.com/mibiznetwork/ More details shared in this release by Douglas J. Douglas J Institute Rebrands, Moves Away from Exclusive Aveda Partnership Across all MI and TN Locations This switch gives students access to broader training through a multi-product educational approach, fully preparing them for the realities of today's salon environment. East Lansing, Mich., Aug. 20, 2025 – After more than 30 years with the Aveda name, Douglas J is moving forward from its exclusive partnership and rebranding itself as Douglas J Institute, with a multi-line product education across each of its locations. With presence in Grand Rapids, Mich., East Lansing, Mich., Ann Arbor, Mich., Royal Oak, Mich., Knoxville, Tenn., and two recently acquired locations in Lincoln, NE., the educational group is pivoting to feature several product lines for students to utilize, learn specialized techniques from, and retail to guests. “We couldn't be more excited about what this means for the students and their future education,” said Scott Weaver, president of Douglas J Companies. “While it was a good run with Aveda, they didn't make us what we have become today. It's always been about the people — extending our education model with new product lines and continuing to focus on the people side of the business, is really what fires me up and excites all of us for the future.” Douglas J Institutes will now use Back of Bottle, Color Space (color), Davines, and Mizani for hair care services and retail, and offer PCA Skin and Eminence for skin care offerings. While this is an initial launch, the team will continue to stay flexible, with potential to add in new and trending lines in the future for students to utilize. With Douglas J now offering distribution for Back of Bottle (BOB) and Color Space products, this shift also strengthens these brands within communities where there's Douglas J presence, bringing additional awareness to these high performing, clean products. Founded in 1967 by Doug Weaver, Douglas J Salon eventually grew to launch their first spa in the 70's, and into the institute education model in 1986. In 1993, Douglas J partnered with Aveda to launch their education program. Today, the company is run by President Scott Weaver and Vice President TJ Weaver, Doug's two sons. Douglas J is a family-owned company spanning four generations over more than 55 years and consisting of eight institute and four salon locations across Michigan, Tennessee and Nebraska. The institutes offer cosmetology, esthiology, barbering, and massage therapy programs with proven methods and real-world training for future beauty and wellness professionals. All locations are built on these same values: care, community, and commitment. For more information on the institutes, visit douglasj.edu, or douglasj.com for salons. # # #

Chris Holman welcomes Pete Martin, Director of Portfolio Management, MSU Research Foundation, East Lansing, MI. Welcome Pete tell us a little about the MSU Research Foundation and the PitchMI Startup Competition? Michigan's Innovation Showcase PitchMI is now one of the nation's richest state-based startup competitions, offering $4 million in investment. How does this expanded competition elevate Michigan's position as a leader in startup innovation and funding? Regional & Statewide Strategy The competition features four regionally themed events—healthcare in Grand Rapids, clean tech in Traverse City, mobility in Detroit, and AI/software in Ann Arbor—each awarding $250,000, with finalists moving on to compete for a $1 million prize. What's the strategic intent behind aligning region with specific startup industries, and how does it benefit both local ecosystems and statewide momentum? Building Momentum & Ecosystem Engagement Regional winners receive funding and, importantly, time to grow before the statewide finals—an intentional six-month runway for impact and support. Why is this momentum-building phase so critical, and what role do regional networks and ecosystems play in supporting startup trajectories? Long-Term Vision & Scalability With $3 million from the Michigan Innovation Fund and $1 million from Michigan Rise ensuring this is a multi-year initiative, PitchMI aims to run through 2026 and potentially become annual. How does this level of long-term funding and planning reflect Michigan's broader economic development priorities? Equity & Access in Startup Support Although each region focuses thematically, startups from anywhere in Michigan can enter any regional event that matches their focus. How does PitchMI's open and inclusive structure help break down geographic silos and create equitable opportunities across the state's innovation ecosystem? » Visit MBN website: www.michiganbusinessnetwork.com/ » Subscribe to MBN's YouTube: www.youtube.com/@MichiganbusinessnetworkMBN » Like MBN: www.facebook.com/mibiznetwork » Follow MBN: twitter.com/MIBizNetwork/ » MBN Instagram: www.instagram.com/mibiznetwork/

Originally uploaded September 5, reloaded Sept. 12th. Chris Holman welcomes back Randy Thelen, President & CEO of The Right Place, Grand Rapids, MI. Economic Development Leaders for Michigan Unveil Top 10 Priorities for Statewide Growth and Prosperity Economic Development Leaders for Michigan (EDLM), a coalition of the state's premier regional economic development organizations, recently announced a unified list of 10 priorities designed to position Michigan for long-term growth, innovation, and prosperity. Representing regions that comprise 79% of the state's population and 84% of its gross domestic product, EDLM brings together leaders with over 225 years of combined experience in economic development. The coalition is committed to advancing strategies that will drive business investment, talent development, community revitalization, and innovation across the state. “A competitive economic development toolbox locally impacts all elements of a community — from small businesses, startups, and entrepreneurs, to placemaking projects like farmers markets, and to successfully attracting brand-new investment and good jobs. The better funded and more robust our state economic development toolbox and programs are, the more revenue we will generate for the state, supporting the quality services we all want,” said Bob Trezise, President and CEO of the Lansing Economic Area Partnership (LEAP). The Top 10 Economic Development Priorities outlined by EDLM include targeted investments and policy reforms across four key categories: Business Attraction and Retention Maintain Business Development Program at $100 million to stay competitive for job-creating investments. Adopt a performance-based, accountable withholding tax incentive to support impactful project attraction and expansion. Community Development Renew and fund the Revitalization and Placemaking (RAP) Program at $50 million to support vibrant, place-based development. Renew and fund the Community Revitalization Program (CRP) at $50 million to reinvest in communities across Michigan. Modernize locally driven programs: SmartZone: Extend expiring TIF agreements by 15 years, with potential for additional extensions based on local approval. Transformational Brownfield Program: Simplify program access and remove funding caps to unlock more redevelopment opportunities. Fund the Regional Strategic Site Readiness Program at $50 million annually to accelerate development of competitive, investment-ready sites. Talent Maintain the Going PRO Talent Fund, emphasizing growth in advanced manufacturing and technology sectors. Establish a $10 million Regional Talent Attraction and Retention Fund to support locally tailored workforce initiatives. Innovation & Entrepreneurship Double the state's R&D Tax Credit to $200 million to encourage more private-sector innovation. Recommit to regionally led Entrepreneurship and Innovation Programming at $100 million, restoring funding to 2012 levels (currently $15.7 million). “This list reflects our shared vision for a stronger, more competitive Michigan," said Randy Thelen, President and CEO of the Right Place and current Chair of EDLM. “These are the smart, bold investments we believe will create economic momentum, attract and retain talent, and ensure every region of our state can thrive.” EDLM members urge state policymakers, business leaders, and stakeholders across Michigan to support and champion these initiatives as part of a collaborative strategy to secure Michigan's future economic success.

Acts 2:42 gives a picture of what the church can look like when it's operating at its best: devotedly pursuing the apostles' teaching (the New Testament), fellowship, eating together and prayer.

Today, we're tackling a big topic that so many women wrestle with: sales. How do you sell your offer without feeling pushy, slimy, or “salesy”? I've invited a very special guest, Stephanie Pady, to walk us through what it looks like to sell from a biblically aligned perspective. Stephanie is a mom, seminary student, sales trainer, and leadership coach who has spent years equipping both corporate teams and Christian women to step into influence with confidence. She has such a powerful lens on what sales really is—hint: it's about trust and influence, not pressure. In this conversation, you'll hear: -Stephanie's story of moving from sales resistance to sales confidence. -Why every conversation is a sales transaction (and how that ties to the gospel). -The #1 skill that will transform the way you connect with people. -Practical ways to handle objections without manipulation. -How Jesus modeled influence and what we can learn from Him about trust, questions, and leadership. -We also talk about preparing for “no's,” the power of one-on-one connection, and why sometimes a “not yet” is still a win.

When the world's most iconic piece of film memorabilia--Judy Garland's iconic ruby slippers--were stolen from a small museum in Grand Rapids, Minnesota (yes, Minnesota) in 2005, the world went on high alert. The questions swirled like a Kansas tornado: Who took them, how were such an important piece of American culture able to be swiped in the first place, and most importantly WOULD WE EVER GET THEM BACK?  For over a decade, the investigation festered. The police were brainless! The heartless thieves left fans in the lurch, and the only hope was that an unknown hero would have the courage to come forward with information that would solve this case and return the slippers to their rightful place in Judy Garland's home town, because, as everyone knows, there's no place like home.

Speaker: Minister & Senior Pastor, Jim Samra Passage: 1 John 2:3-8 This was recorded live in Grand Rapids, MI on September 21, 2025

Sermon date: 9-21-25 Location: City Life Church, Grand Rapids, MI

It's Friday, September 19th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Iranian Christian denied a retrial for practicing his faith Mehran Shamloui, an Iranian Christian convert from Islam, has been denied a retrial for his case by the Iranian Supreme Court, reports International Christian Concern.  Shamloui was arrested in 2024 and, in March 2025, was sentenced to 10 years and 8 months in prison simply for participating in a house church. The charges against him included “propaganda activities contrary to Islamic law,” and “membership in groups opposing the state.”  He was released from jail after he posted bail in late 2024. He fled the country and intended to travel to Europe, but was stopped in Turkey. He was deported to Iran in July 2025 because he was missing formal documentation.  Shamloui is currently serving his sentence in Iran's Evin Prison, a notoriously deplorable institution known for mistreating its prisoners, including Christians.  Hebrews 13:3 says, “Continue to remember those in prison as if you were together with them in prison, and those who are mistreated as if you yourselves were suffering.” Iran is an Islamic Republic and a known persecutor of the Christian community. Bibles written in Farsi, the official language of Iran, are strictly prohibited, as is discussing Jesus with Muslims to share the gospel with them. Hadi Ghaemi, the executive director of The Center for Human Rights in Iran, said, “The Christian community in Iran is facing a crisis. The Iranian authorities are abducting growing numbers of Christians and throwing absurd national security charges at them in order to imprison them for years for doing nothing other than peacefully practicing their faith.” NY Attorney General vs. TX Attorney General over Abortion Kill Pill Far-left Democratic New York Attorney General Letitia James is intervening in Republican Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton's attempt to prosecute an abortionist for mailing abortion kill pills from one state to the other to undermine Texas's pro-life laws, reports LifeSiteNews.com. Paxton first filed his lawsuit in December 2024 against abortionist Margaret Carpenter, founder of the “Abortion Coalition for Telemedicine.”  Paxton alleged that Carpenter “unlawfully provided a Collin County resident with abortion-inducing drugs that ended the life of an unborn child and resulted in serious complications for the mother, who then required medical intervention.” Carpenter is not licensed to practice medicine in Texas. Subsequently, in February 2025, Judge Bryan Gantt of North Texas ordered Carpenter to stop sending abortion kill pills into the state and to pay a $100,000 fine. (Carpenter also faces charges out of Louisiana for the same).  So far, New York officials have protected the abortionist from consequences via the state's shield law, which bars cooperation with other states concerning laws against abortion. Paxton has challenged the shield law and sued the Ulster County, New York clerk who refused to enforce the fine. Americans celebrating Charlie Kirk's assassination held accountable The Secret Service, several U.S. airlines, Office Depot, and Nasdaq said they were among more than 30 employers that have sanctioned or fired employees in reaction to their disturbing statements about the assassination of Charlie Kirk, the founder of Turning Point USA, reports The Washington Post. Regarding the Secret Service, an agent named Anthony Pough wrote on Facebook, “If you are mourning this guy .. delete me,” in reference to Kirk's killing. Pough accused Kirk of spewing “hate and racism on his show.” Roughly three dozen workers are reported to have been suspended or fired over their responses to Kirk's murder, including employees of Clemson University, MSNBC, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, and the Carolina Panthers. Plus, several local fire departments and school districts said they had also suspended or terminated employees over their remarks. WLBT-TV reports that Lauren Stokes, the executive assistant for the Vice Chancellor of Development at the University of Mississippi, was fired for her anti-Kirk comments. She allegedly wrote, “For decades, yt [white] supremacist and reimagined Klan members like Kirk have wreaked havoc on our communities, condemning children and the populace at large to mass death for the sake of keeping their automatic guns. … So no, I have no prayers to offer Kirk or respectable statements against violence.” WNDU reports that 18-year-old Camryn Giselle Booker, a college student at Texas Tech, was expelled after a video of her publicly celebrating Charlie Kirk's death went viral.  In the video, she is jumping around and yelling at students paying tribute to Kirk on the Lubbock, Texas campus. Listen. BOOKER: “Your homie dead. He got shot in the head. Your homie dead. He got shot in the head.” After Booker was expelled, Texas Republican Governor Greg Abbott posted this comment on X. “Definitely picked the wrong school to taunt the death of Charlie Kirk. Thanks Texas Tech!” Felicia Branch, a professor at the University of Arkansas, is on administrative leave over her vile social media post, reports the Arkansas Times. She wrote, “No, I will not pull back from CELEBRATING that an evil man died by the method he chose to embrace.  Don't tell someone who has been targeted by people like him how to feel, how not to post, how not to celebrate, that he can no longer inflict his brand of evil.” She added that Kirk is “an evil person [who] is no longer on this earth causing immense suffering.” Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders has called for Professor Felicia Branch to be fired. ABC yanked Jimmy Kimmel over Charlie Kirk comments And yesterday, ABC indefinitely suspended late-night host Jimmy Kimmel for inappropriate comments he made about the assassination of Charlie Kirk, reports Newsbusters.org. Here's the soundbite from Monday night. KIMMEL: “We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid, [Tyler Robinson], who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it.” Conservative talk show host Erik Erikson  called out the leftist comedian. He said, “What Kimmel was doing was participating in the creation of the leftwing talking point that Kirk's assassin was on the right. He did not have to participate. [Kimmel] chose to participate and circulate what was obviously, even on Monday, a lie. On top of that, it was not funny. It was hectoring and cruel.” Erikson reported that the primary reason Kimmel is no longer on the ABC program schedule is because of the influence of Nexstar, a moderately right-leaning group of stations, that controls 32 significant ABC affiliates including New Orleans, Nashville, Syracuse, Albany, and Grand Rapids and Lansing, Michigan. Nexstar decided to stop airing Kimmel's program. Star Spangled Banner's God-honoring fourth verse And finally, on September 14, 1814, Francis Scott Key penned the immortal words of “The Star Spangled Banner.” Key was a Washington attorney sent to the British navy to secure the release of a prisoner during the War of 1812. During his mission, the British bombarded Fort McHenry in Baltimore, Maryland. The sight of the American flag continuing to fly over the fort despite the barrage inspired the verses in the song. Congress officially made it the national anthem over a hundred years later. The opening verse is well known. But the later verses are more obscure. Listen to David Hedrick, a former Marine, sing the last half of verse four. HEDRICK: “Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation! Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just, And this be our motto: “In God is our trust;” And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave O'er the land of the free, and the home of the brave.” (applause) Indeed, Proverbs 3:5-6 says, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Friday, September 19th, in the year of our Lord 2025. Follow us on X or subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music, or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus (Adam@TheWorldview.com).
