Odds & Ends

    Bonus Content: Brad Kniep, Updating Software and Businesses

    A couple of months ago, we traveled to Morton, Illinois to visit Brad Kniep and his team to check out their recently-installed drive-through rental counter (check out our YouTube channel for more on that soon). While we were there, I talked with Brad about a few new evolutions in his rental experience and asked for some lessons learned from the processes.  He recently: Upgraded his software from Expert to EliteAdded Point of Rental OneReorganized his businesses from two general rental businesses in different cities to industry-centric ones based out of one locationMerged with an event rental businessSo he has a lot of thoughts on navigating change and what worked well for him, what didn't work well, and some tips on how best to handle it.

    Point the Way & Door of Hope (SA)

    On 6 May in South Africa, Pointers went on their first brick-building visit for Door of Hope. Door of Hope is a local organisation that provides care for abandoned children. They’re looking to expand their operations by building 70 houses for abandoned children that can’t be (or aren’t) adopted, giving them a chance to start adulthood on the right track.  Each brick-making session produces roughly 400 bricks, which is nearly 1/10 of what’s required for a single house; the project is expected to take several years, but our South African team is looking forward to being a part of the progress.  Bernice Smith talked to Brian about the experience in this episode; if you’d like to help Door of Hope and the South African team build more houses - via donation or by helping build bricks - contact our South African office for corporate donations. and visit here to donate individually (South Africa | International).

    Shorts: Plant & Hire Aid Alliance's Ukraine Aid

    This month's Front Porch guest is Joan McKinlay from our UK office, who participated in the Plant & Hire Aid Alliance's recent convoy to Slovakia to provide equipment and supplies to Ukrainian refugees. Since the full episode won't be shared until after the next Plant & Hire Aid Alliance event, we wanted to share this segment from the interview (slightly modified) to encourage people interested in helping her at the Wrapathon scheduled for 26-27 November to stop by and help. The people involved will play a big role in brightening the lives of people who could really use it after an incredibly difficult 2022. If you can't make the Wrapathon but you'd like to help in other ways, you can get connected by signing up at the Alliance's website: www.aid-alliance.com/
