Insight On Business the News Hour Michael Libbie

We kick things off today with a report that might shed some light on the increasing number of individuals in the U.S. who find themselves homeless. We start in Atlanta and wind up in Los Angeles. It could very well be the next answer to folks living on the street or in shelters. Also a tease about what you'll be hearing this Sunday at Noon Central as we Go Out to Lunch during our broadcast on News/Talk 1540 KXEL. Finally,  if you want to reach out to us on Social Media you can hook up with us all day on Twitter or "X" @IOB_NewsHour and on Instagram. Facebook? Sure were there too.  Here's what we've got for you today:

Recently at our recording booth during the Central Iowa Business Conference hosted by the Urbandale, Iowa Chamber a woman was walking toward us and I commented, "Nice shoes!".  She stopped, came over to the microphones to say, thank you. Turns out she is the president of Grand View University. I asked her if we might record a conversation and, so, we did. What a delightful and talented individual leading a university with roughly 2,000 students near the heart of Des Moines.  You'll also learn about the school's close tie to...Denmark.  Meet Dr. Rachelle Keck.
