Please bear with occasional wind noise on the video's audio. Lansing, Mich. (June 6, 2025) — Yesterday, IONETIX, a leader in advanced radiopharmaceutical technologies, is investing $25.75 million to expand its Delta Township facility. The project will add a second cyclotron, and an advanced isotope processing laboratory. The expansion is expected to create 53 high-tech jobs and further accelerate innovation in life sciences and nuclear medicine manufacturing. “IONETIX's expansion is creating high-skill, high-value jobs and elevating the Lansing Region within the global medical technology landscape,” said Bob Trezise, president and CEO of the Lansing Economic Area Partnership (LEAP). “LEAP is proud to support this project and the ecosystem of innovative MedTech companies making our region a destination for biomedical research and economic opportunity.” IONETIX marked the milestone with a community event at its Delta Township facility, bringing together company leaders, regional partners, and officials from across the state. Speakers included representatives from IONETIX, LEAP, the Michigan Economic Development Corporation (MEDC), and Delta Township. Founded in 2009 from technology developed at the MIT Plasma Science and Fusion Center, IONETIX has pioneered the world's first commercial compact superconducting cyclotron, the ION-12SC, which is used to produce N-13 ammonia, one of the most accurate positron emission tomography (PET) imaging agents for detecting coronary artery disease (CAD). The company has also expanded its focus to targeted alpha therapy (TAT), an emerging cancer treatment utilizing high-energy alpha particles to target cancer cells while preserving healthy tissue. "Delta Township and the Lansing region offer the ideal environment for IONETIX's continued growth. The area's highly skilled workforce, robust infrastructure, and strong spirit of public-private collaboration make it the perfect location for our expansion,” said Kevin J. Cameron, Chief Executive Officer of IONETIX. “We are honored to invest in this community and proud that it is in the forefront of creating diagnostic and therapeutic innovations.” This expansion aligns with IONETIX's broader strategy to grow its radiopharmaceutical manufacturing network, advance commercialization of new therapies, and reinforce Michigan's leadership in life sciences and medical technology innovation. The State of Michigan, through the Michigan Business Development Program, awarded IONETIX $750,000 in incentives to support this expansion, ensuring a strong pipeline of skilled talent and continued innovation in the region. We are thrilled with the company's commitment to Michigan and the Lansing community by investing over $25 million to accelerate the efforts to one day cure cancer,” said Matt McCauley, Senior Vice President for Regional Development at the MEDC. "Team Michigan welcomes IONETIX Corporation's expansion, furthering Michigan's leadership in the life sciences and medical technology industries. We applaud the company's vision to Make it in Michigan. » Visit MBN website: www.michiganbusinessnetwork.com/ » Subscribe to MBN's YouTube: www.youtube.com/channel/UCqNX… » Like MBN: www.facebook.com/mibiznetwork » Follow MBN: twitter.com/MIBizNetwork/ » MBN Instagram: www.instagram.com/mibiznetwork/

Mike Maddox shared his story of running and operating a company called ASK, an IT and cyber security company, which experienced 10x growth over 10 years, but also faced chaos and frustration, and eventually implemented the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS) to get the business healthy and aligned, and was later acquired by a large multinational company 01:14. Mike's experience with EOS and his acquisition led him to start coaching other businesses, and he eventually got his franchise to coach clients, with the goal of helping other business owners achieve successful exits and grow their business value 04:44. Brian, a partner with Washington Avenue Advisors, shared his motivation for helping business owners with their valuation and exit, which is to see stories like Mike's and help owners have successful exits, allowing them to pursue their passions and reap the benefits of their hard work, and he achieved the Certified Exit Planning Advisor (CEPA) designation to be more intentional about delivering this service 07:29.

This conversation was a chance to spread that message and celebrate the power of preparation and purpose.” “Mike Garland is not just a survivor—he's a servant leader,” said Coach Tom Izzo. “What he's doing with Champions of the Heart is bigger than basketball. I was proud to sit beside him and help amplify this life-saving message.” Event Details: • Date: Thursday, June 5, 2025 • Time: 11:30 a.m. – 1:30 p.m. • Location: Kellogg Hotel & Conference Center, East Lansing, MI • Book Signing & Sales: Immediately following the program, Coach Garland's book AGOGE will be available for purchase and signing in Big Ten Room C

Friday, May 30th, Chris Holman arrived fresh off 45 interviews at the Mackinac Policy Conference, on Mackinac Island at the Grand Hotel, to be on hand for a ribbon cutting ceremony for Copper Peak, of Ironwood, Michigan. This video shares an interview with Bob Jacquart, former head of Stormy Kromer. He's retired and put time and passion into the project at Copper Peak. Next there are excerpts from a ceremony ahead of the celebration of the next phase for the project at Copper Peak. And finally the countdown and project blast that marked the next phase. » Visit MBN website: www.michiganbusinessnetwork.com/ » Subscribe to MBN's YouTube: www.youtube.com/channel/UCqNX… » Like MBN: www.facebook.com/mibiznetwork » Follow MBN: twitter.com/MIBizNetwork/ » MBN Instagram: www.instagram.com/mibiznetwork/ The World's Largest Artificial Ski Jump As you've probably guessed from the title, Copper Peak is the world's largest artificial ski jump. While it hasn't been operating in that capacity since 1994, we're on the way to restoring the jump to its previous glory. In the meantime, visitors love stopping by Copper Peak to go on our Adventure Ride or explore our Mountain Biking Trails. And who can blame them? The Copper Peak upper observation platform provides views at 1,782 feet above sea level and 1,180 feet above Lake Superior, and the trails feature a 600-foot elevation gain over 5.5 miles. Now that's not for the faint of heart! About the Jump The Copper Peak ski jump is made from 300 tons of sturdy COR-TEN steel and boasts a 469-foot cantilevered in run with a 35-degree slope. It's built to withstand even the strongest winds, including speeds of over 190 mph. During windy weather, you may observe a gentle 18-inch sway at the top, but rest assured, there's no cause for concern! The jump sways intentionally as part of its design. A Vision for the Next Two Years Our mission is to redefine Copper Peak as the premier ski jump worldwide, hosting year-round competitions highlighting the breathtaking beauty of Michigan's Upper Peninsula and the surrounding region. Our vision is to position the Upper Peninsula as a globally renowned destination for outdoor enthusiasts, inspiring a passion for the area as a distinctive place to live, work, and play while also fostering business growth in the region. How They Plan To Reach This New Adventure Over the past few years, Copper Peak's Adventure Ride has experienced significant growth. Investments have been made in preliminary engineering, geo-tech studies, structural reviews, master planning exercises, and business case development to redevelop the hill to host international competitions. The Copper Peak Organizing Committee, appointed by the full board in 2015, has dedicated considerable time and resources to foster relationships with esteemed organizations such as the International Ski Federation (FIS), the United States Ski Association (USSA), USA Ski Jumping and USA Nordic Combined, as well as influential Michigan legislators and decision-makers. The ultimate objective has been to pave the way for the successful reintroduction of international ski jumping events at Copper Peak. On March 30, 2022, Copper Peak was granted a generous $20 million from the State of Michigan to bring this vision to life. We extend our heartfelt appreciation to all those who played a role in this important investment by the state. A $20 million project for Copper Peak began on Friday with a ceremony. After a resounding boom, the Copper Peak project now begins. The goal of this project is to bring the ski hill to International Ski and Snowboard Federation standards. President of Copper Peak Bob Jacquart said this first phase is focusing on the landing hill. Jacquart says; “We're going to redo the landing hill right now and get it, widen it, change the angle, and eventually pour a concrete slab so that we can have ski jumping in the summer,”

Segments 2-5 are the pair of interviews from up on the island. Then to close the episode they meet up once again post conference to discuss Lorri's conversations with the guests. The main topic of this episode is the journey these women have been on in not only their career but their personal lives as well. Becky O'Connell was the first guest. She has two decades of public policy experience. She is a strategic and effective leader in government affairs and advocacy. As the Government Affairs Lead Manager at a credit union that is also a community development financial institution (CDFI), she develops and implements public policy strategies that support the financial well-being of members and communities across local, state, and federal levels Becky is also the past chair of the Michigan Chamber of Commerce Health and Human Resources Policy Committee, where she shapes the chamber's policy agenda and influences the legislative process. She has a proven track record of achieving policy outcomes that benefit both the business and public sectors, such as securing a $10 million state appropriation for affordable housing, establishing a state fund for CDFIs, and creating a cottage kitchen law that removed barriers for food entrepreneurs. ● Where did your professional journey begin? ● How has your career path changed along the way? ● What personal changes did you go through over the years when it comes to your professional life? ● What plans do you have for the future? ● Who was your biggest inspiration when you first started your career?

Today, the Two Mikes welcomed back Mr. Brandon Weichert for a discussion of international affairs and the dangers that are accumulating from them for the United States. Currently, Mr. Weichert is the Senior National Security Editor at the National Interest journal. He also is a best-selling author on many of the topics we spoke about. Mr. Weichert argued convincingly that the war in Ukraine is lost and has been lost for a good time. There really is nothing for President Trump to do but to walk away from Ukraine, Zelensky, and NATO. America has been disastrously involved in Europe's terminal inability to stay out of war since 1917 and have won two wars for them. Now we are involved in a third war started and wanted by the Europeans, the Western intelligence agencies, and Biden, and we find that the cocky European bastards, their governments, their controlled media, the UN, and their intelligence agencies – probably with the CIA and the Mossad – are trying to suck the United States into a nuclear war with Russia. Enough is enough, if European regimes wants a nuclear war with Russia, let them have it. The end of Western Europe as it is and the annihilation of the NATO treaty can be nothing but good news for the United States. In the Middle East, Mr. Weichert said that it certainly appears that Benjamin Netanyahu is going down and that he does not care that he will be taking Israel down with him. Over one million Israelis have already fled their country. The war does on and on in the Middle East and the Israeli military continues, on Netanyahu's orders, to try to kick all the Palestinians to death, while simultaneously trying to draw the United States into satisfying the lust of Netanyahu and his circle – which includes most of the Congress and the wealthiest of Jewish-Americans – for all-out war with Iran. The key to getting out of this mess is obvious, dump the Israelis and let them fend for themselves against the coming war of retribution that will be thrown at them by the Bin Laden-inspired descendants of the untold number of Arab people – fighters and civilians -- who have been killed, incarcerated, assassinated, tortured, and murdered by the U.S.-backed Israel's military and intelligence organizations since 1948.   Mr Weicher's most recent book -- The Shadow War: Iran's Quest for Supremacy is available at Amazon and other booksellers, as are his two excellent previous books Biohacked: China's Race to Control Life and Winning Space: How America Remains a Superpower.

In this fiery and deeply revealing episode, Jack Maxey returns to Two Mikes to dissect the chaos engulfing Los Angeles, the ongoing black hole that is the Ukraine war, and the unsettling silence from President Trump on key America First promises. Maxey questions Trump's tepid responses to border chaos, the fentanyl war, and the continued disappearance of over 350,000 migrant children trafficked under Biden's regime. The conversation uncovers explosive truths about NGO complicity, cartel influence under Mexico's new radical president Claudia Sheinbaum, and the growing grassroots revolt against D.C.'s blind loyalty to Israel.

Featuring:DR. SHERRY TENPENNY https://drtenpenny.com/In this explosive episode of Steel News, we sit down with Dr. Sherri Tenpenny—author, emergency physician, and one of the most fearless truth-tellers in the medical freedom movement. With over 50,000 hours of documented research, Dr. Tenpenny was among the first to sound the alarm on vaccine injury and systemic corruption inside the public health establishment. From her groundbreaking exposés on the COVID-19 jab's “20 Mechanisms of Injury” to her bold stance against the CDC, FDA, and Big Pharma's legal immunity, Dr. Tenpenny has risked everything to shine a light on the machinery of medical coercion.Her new book, Zero Accountability in a Failed System, is a comprehensive indictment of vaccine policy, public health propaganda, and government betrayal. It uncovers the VAERS-CICP bait-and-switch, exposes fetal tissue and tumor cell lines used in manufacturing, and tracks the disturbing roadmap toward biometric surveillance and digital ID control under the guise of "health." This is more than a health crisis—it's a battle for truth, justice, and bodily sovereignty. Don't miss this conversation that blows the hinges off the doors of institutional deception.few key takeaways she covers in the book:· How the PREP Act gave total legal immunity to pharma, and how CICP quietly blocked compensation for millions of vaccine-injured individuals.· The CDC's media strategy—over 4,000 fear-based messages per flu season—used to engineer compliance.· The shift from public health to full-scale surveillance infrastructure (digital IDs, biometric tracking, and the 2030 agenda).“This isn't about immunity—it's about indoctrination. And the children are the collateral damage.”— Dr. TenpennyWhy it's urgent right now:· Trump's Surgeon General pick, Casey Means, is setting off headlines. No license, no government experience—and deep Big Tech ties. Sherri has strong insight on what this signals.· The renewed measles panic campaign is rolling out hard—echoing 2004's bird flu messaging and COVID-style propaganda. Dr. T explains why that's dangerous.· Mainstream attention on the PREP Act and CICP is finally catching up—the perfect time to get this conversation on the record.Make sure you follow Maverick Broadcasting Network on the following platforms:Pickax: https://pickax.com/maverickbroadcastingRumble: https://rumble.com/c/maverickbroadcasting Substack: https://maverickbroadcasting.substack.comX: https://x.com/mavbroadcastnet Maverick Broadcasting Network benefits when you shop with the following companies:MY GOLD GUY - https://mygoldguy.com/mbnAs inflation surges and global elites toy with our financial future, My Gold Guy empowers you to safeguard your wealth with physical gold and silver – a real asset for real Americans.

On today's episode of Two Mikes, Dr. Michael Scheuer and Col. Mike sit down with Arron Renn, an expert on American urban development and a bold Christian voice calling out the spiritual vacuum in our post-Christian culture. Renn breaks down the decades-long decline of Protestant influence in America and how our culture's embrace of drugs, abortion, and gambling signals a collapse of Christian moral authority. He argues that while President Trump's recent victory and pro-Christian stance have created a much-needed “vibe change,” this momentum must be backed by real action—like tribunals for Big Pharma and dismantling the legacy media machine. It's a critical conversation for those fighting to restore faith in a nation adrift.Follow Maverick Broadcasting Network on Pickax to catch the full lineup of shows and breaking news: https://pickax.com/maverickbroadcasting Protect your financial future with precious metals!

Are we truly governed by the republic our Founders created, or has America become something else? Who really holds the power – ‘We the People,' or corporate and banking interests?” In this brief opener, we pose these critical questions against stark imagery of the U.S. Capitol and Wall Street. The tone is urgent and thought-provoking. Viewers are asked to consider why the United States, despite its Constitutional ideals, carries over $30 trillion in national debt and an ever-expanding bureaucracy. How did America's government and financial system evolve to this point, and what does it mean for your freedom? This introduction sets the stage for a deep-dive into hidden history and challenges to mainstream narratives about American governance.Make sure you follow Maverick Broadcasting Network on the following platforms:Pickax: https://pickax.com/maverickbroadcastingRumble: https://rumble.com/c/maverickbroadcasting Substack: https://maverickbroadcasting.substack.comX: https://x.com/mavbroadcastnet Maverick Broadcasting Network benefits when you shop with the following companies:MY GOLD GUY - https://mygoldguy.com/mbnAs inflation surges and global elites toy with our financial future, My Gold Guy empowers you to safeguard your wealth with physical gold and silver – a real asset for real Americans.
