Grateful

I would like to wish you a very Happy Thanksgiving. I hope you have a wonderful celebration this week with family, friends or loved ones. A holiday that revolves around great food, football and gratitude is right up my alley!

As I reflect on my life, I am incredibly grateful for the people around me. I know I would not have accomplished half of what I have without the support of family, friends, co-workers, partners and all of you in our mibe community. Last week we held our annual Thanksgiving Thankfuls tradition at Footers where we got to share the characteristics we are grateful for within each other. This has become one of our favorite events and we are honored that some of you have started your own version of our Thankfuls.

Today there are two people I would like to specifically acknowledge - Trip Wheeler and Clint Elkins with SB Value. You both have believed in me and mibe on a deep level. You’ve pushed us to think big and also stay true to our mission and values. We are intentional about the sponsors we invite to be part of mibe and work hard to ensure that they align with who we are. The two of you are true heart leaders and care deeply about doing the right thing for the people in your lives. I’m excited to announce that SB Value will be our Lead Sponsor for 2023. Their support will allow us to enhance our current programs and broaden our reach so that we can continue to help even more people find joy and fulfillment in their work and in their lives.

I’m excited for what the future of mibe holds and can’t wait to see many of you at our mibe summit in January. If you haven’t registered yet, don’t delay. Early bird pricing ends soon. We also have one week left to submit applications for our inaugural mibe awards! Again, I wish you a very Happy Thanksgiving and I hope you make time this week to reflect on the people in your life that you are grateful for.
