Mills Batman liked thisMills Batman liked thisI am pleased to announce that as of tomorrow morning, a lifetime dream will be realized - I will be self-employed! After years of dreaming, and most recently months of planning and preparation, I will be officially opening Insulation Commandos of Greater Chattanooga. My specialty will be Insulation Retrofits of existing homes. Over 32 years ago, I graduated from Clemson University. Six (6) Companies, 30-plus Bosses, and 60-plus Offices later, I will be starting the day at MY office and facility working for myself and onboarding my first employee. This new chapter is scary and intimidating on one hand, but incredibly exciting and rewarding on the other! Thanks to the many who encouraged me and helped "push me out of the nest" in support of this career transition. What a crazy ride it has been... The Housing boom of the early 2000's, the crash in 2008 where most of my colleagues and I got to find new careers, the roller coaster ride that is the Electrical Industry, and most recently the impact of China on the Polysilicon Industry... Lots of ups and downs for sure. As I reflect on my career, my mind goes back to those special people I met along the way. I can't write this update without naming just a few: Kent Snyder - you gave me a chance I probably didn't deserve as a young and inexperienced kid from South Carolina. You taught me so much about leadership and showed me you can actually balance work and family priorities and excel at both. Greg Smith and Ricky Harper - I appreciate your professional mentorship and personal friendship more than you know. Our travels together have provided memories that will endure, but we are not done! Looking forward to the next one in March. Paul Bogard - I am grateful for the sponsorship and investment you provided me. You taught me the power of empowering others. I have fond memories of the years we spent working together. Ken Collins and Jim Tharp - You guys epitomize character and class. I watched you lead with an unwavering commitment to simply do what was right. How you treat people left a lasting impression on me. During the most difficult time in my life, you both helped me and my family in ways very few will ever know or understand.

Mills Batman liked thisMills Batman liked thisMeet Chuck Chittick, our Director of Distribution—the mastermind behind our technology systems and product operations. Chuck keeps the engine running behind the scenes. One thing you may not know about Chuck? 💰 He and his family haven’t taken out a loan (outside of their home) since before 2010. Talk about financial discipline and intentional living! His advice? 🏃♂️ "I often tell people interested in Ironman that each workout is like 1 or 2 pennies that you put in a piggy bank. There is no way to put in more than that each day. You can't throw in a dollar bill to make up for missed workouts. What you have to spend on race day is the cumulation of all of those pennies. Life is the same way, do one thing each day that moves you towards where you want to go." We're grateful for Chuck’s strategic mind, steady leadership, and the wisdom he brings to the team! Join us in celebrating Chuck! 🎉

Mills Batman liked thisMills Batman liked thisEach BlueCross Healthy Place project is uniquely designed to meet the needs of the community it serves. Take a behind-the-scenes look at how our build partner, PlayCore, manufactures the equipment that makes these spaces a reality. (The BlueCross Foundation's funding is separate from corporate operations and must be used to benefit Tennessee communities. The company provided seed funding, like an endowment, but has not contributed money to the foundation since 2014. No premium dollars are used to support BlueCross Healthy Place projects.)

Mills Batman liked thisMills Batman liked thisAlright team! Many of you have been asking about the Monday MVPs and I am excited to say they are back! This week’s Monday MVP is a special one as it goes to my wife, Nicole Foreman OTD, OTR/L. On 7/22, we welcomed our daughter into the world and the past three weeks have been incredibly meaningful. I have a whole new respect for moms and dads out there. It has been amazing to watch Nicole naturally step into motherhood and love on our sweet family. I am truly blessed to have her as my teammate in life and I am proud to name her as this week’s Monday MVP!

Fraction ERP
Most ERP implementations fail because companies "switch it on and watch it work its magic." That's not how it works. Your ERP system is only as good as how you manage it. The real work starts after go-live—when you need to align your processes, train your team, and embed daily routines. At Fraction ERP, we've seen businesses transform when they focus on three things: 1. Clear implementation goals (defined upfront) 2. Process alignment with your ERP (not fighting it) 3. Daily management routines (like Sunrise meetings to keep things on track) Your ERP isn't a magic solution. It's a tool that amplifies good process discipline. Ready to get the most from your system?

If you’re relying on BC or F&O to scale and it’s not enough, this one’s for you. Watch the full conversation now! 📺: https://lnkd.in/gCFckGTW 🎧: https://lnkd.in/gWrUh7HP
