    In our previous episode of the Iowa Stops Hunger Podcast, DMARC CEO Kathy Underhill and Food Bank of Iowa CEO Tami Nielsen spoke about how increasing need and decreasing government support is creating a responsibility void that now falls on nonprofits, businesses, and faith communities to fill. Who should step in? What role do they each play in fighting local hunger? And what can actually be done?

    E38 | The Third-Generation Advantage: Reinvention, Relationships, and Results | Made In Iowa

    Universal Printing is a rare success story in American manufacturing—a third-generation family business that has continued to evolve rather than rely on past success. Brian and Sarah Springer shared how thoughtful decision-making, a willingness to challenge long-held assumptions, and a commitment to continuous improvement have helped the company remain competitive in a rapidly changing industry. They discussed the unique dynamics of leading a family business, honoring the legacy built by previous generations while making the difficult decisions necessary to position the company for the future. Throughout the conversation, one theme rose above all others: an unwavering focus on the customer. Whether investing in new equipment, embracing emerging technologies, streamlining operations, or expanding capabilities, every decision is filtered through a single question—how does this better serve the customer? Rather than viewing technology as a replacement for people, Universal Printing sees it as a way to deliver greater quality, faster turnaround, and more innovative solutions. Their story is a reminder that longevity isn't achieved by resisting change, but by continually reinventing your business while staying true to the relationships and values that built it in the first place.

    Made In Iowa: E36 | The Foundation to Flourish: Percival Scientific’s Evolution | Jake Oakland

    Percival Scientific’s story is one of legacy, evolution and continued excellence. Gary Wheelock led the Perry-based company for nearly 50 years, building a remarkable foundation and establishing Percival as a trusted manufacturer of environmental growth chambers used in research, science and agriculture around the world. His legacy is deeply woven into the company, and today Percival is continuing to evolve while building on the strength, reputation and values established over decades. In this episode, Leisa talks with Jake Oakland about how his 16 years at John Deere helped shape his leadership perspective, from developing people to learning and applying worldwide best practices in pursuit of a best-in-class team in Perry. There is a powerful parallel between Jake’s own evolution as a leader and Percival’s evolution as a company. Percival is flourishing because of the foundation Gary Wheelock built and the fresh perspective Jake brings to its next chapter, showing how legacy and new leadership can work together to strengthen culture, drive performance and position an Iowa manufacturer for the future.
