    Who Builds Equity with Ben Hutton, CEO Hutton Companies

    Changing became less scary than staying the same. - Ben Hutton  Ascending to leadership as the second generation of a successful family-founded company is no small feat. Very few thriving, closely held family businesses survive the transition to the next generation—let alone continue on a strong growth trajectory. Ben Hutton did exactly that. He stepped into the role of CEO at Hutton Construction. To the outside world, it looked like a picture-perfect success story. Internally, Ben was quietly suffering. One night at 3 a.m., he sent his father a raw, honest email laying out all the challenges and internal turmoil he was facing. That single message changed the trajectory of the company. Ben refused to simply follow the status quo. Instead, he authentically articulated what needed to change so he could lead in a way that played to his unique strengths and abilities. It was difficult. There was doubt. There was friction. But that honesty and courage set the stage for the transformational journey that turned Hutton Construction into The Hutton Companies—the organization Ben proudly leads today.  This is his account of how they became the Hutton companies.

    Philip Sarnecki, Resilience Every Day

    "The Governor's job is a CEO job." -Philip Sarnecki "Failures, if we appraoch them correctly, are our greatest teachers." -Philip Sarnecki Philip learned his work ethic as a young person. When you don't grow up with a lot, and you do grow up with love, you are taught the valuable lesson of how to work. Phillip Sarnecki has led throughout his life. A resilient work ethic is the strong foundation from which all human beings can launch. He's running for governor as an outsider. What that means is, he hasn't spent his career making promises to other people with money that comes from Kansas taxpayers. An entrepreneur, a CEO is uniquely capable of running a 25+ billion dollar budget because they have become successful through accountability. Those in government do not have accountability because they are spending someone else's money. Philip is running for Governor to give more opportunity to Kansans.

    Stolen IP Battle with Amanda Sima, BrainOnLoan.com

    Amanda took a risk as an Entrepreneur early in her career. Through sheer grit and determination --and a hell of a product idea-- she was successful. Nothing fails like success. That iswhy Entrepreneurs jump right back in with both feet. This time, Amanda invented a product. Applying all the knowledge from her previous entrepreneurial ventures, including strong relationships professionally, and in manufacturing, she took this invention and scaled it only to have a potential customer steal her intellectual property. Patent Protection only goes so far. The bigger company, with more resources can be unethical and just take your idea if they believe they can drown you and legal costs. It's a calculated risk. Amanda Seema wasn't willing to lay down with her trade secret. And she is fighting.

    Kristof Slupkowski, Chief Credit Officer Equity Bank and his Persistent Journey to American Opportunity

    When you immigrate to the United States from a former communist country, your point of view about opportunity is different. Kristof's first visit to the US was to New York and he thought it was all like that. As a Top high school decathlete in Poland, he had the chance to come to the United States and he chose Wichita USA. As an outstanding athlete for the Wichita State Shockers, he soon wanted to apply his dedication and capabilities to the business world. Many of us in the US take for granted our opportunities. Chief Credit Officer of Equity Bank, Kristof Slupkowski shares in our conversation how difficult it is to legally immigrate so that you can take advantage of the wonderful opportunities in the land of the free. He is an outstanding disciplined human being, and I am grateful to share his story.
