Today we learned that LMH Health CEO Russ Johnson will be retiring. He was always such a good sport in the videos we had the honor to produce together. More importantly, he is champion for the health of people living in Douglas County!

Like the karaoke song you rocked out during a Penny Jones, we hope that your retirement is a "Thunder Road" of adventure.

Here's an encore of that performance: https://youtu.be/vg15CFAG_3s?si=2-YUaYJeaTqVu5n-&t=75

Matty D. here with a new video series, tapping into the minds of local business owners who know their industry. My work continues to inspire me because All Business is Small Business. What happens on a federal and international level affects us on in the grass roots, but those roots can and always do inspire change as well. In this first episode we are looking at the confirmation of RFK Jr. as head of Health and Human Services.

What impact are local food suppliers expecting now?

We interview a Kansas cattle ranchers and a nature food store owner. Watch here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w9Z4vH2LjEs&list=PLSIqh7I-yprjOgdslxvQHNpz57B1oLwMF&index=1

Thanks to KU Endowment for trusting us to digitize rare footage of Bob Billings. For those of us who moved to Lawrence within the last 20 years, Bob Billings was best known as the avenue that stretched out to West Lawrence. Little did we know the huge impact he had stretching between the Lawrence business community and KU's high standard (and vice versa). He played with Wilt Chamberlain for the Jayhawks after being named the Kansas high school basketball player of the year in the mid 1950s. This is a pretty cool piece of history. We're honored to for another Lawrence legacy!

Here are just a few still frames from our footage and our friend Carter Gaskins will have more photography to come!

Bad leaders refer to leading their people as "herding cats." An impactful leader can "lead from behind," giving his or her team what they need without micro-managing. Ed Shearer with Control of Kaw Valley is a great example. Thanks, Ed, for trusting us to produce a recruiting video series.

Ed's not herding cats. He's herding wildlife out from homes. Learn more about the species they handle here: https://www.crittercontrolofkawvalley.com/wildlife/

Aylea Cole is managing her last VHS to Digital transfer with us. And it's the most significant one! Thank you to the Watkins Museum of History for trusting us to digitize 197 tapes with World War II oral histories told by Lawrence area veterans.

Aylea joined us right before the pandemic as part of KU's work study program. She has thrived and is now moving onto more passion projects with her video work. We wish Aylea nothing but the best and thank her for contribution to our small business.

The VHS to Digital service will continue by appointment only. To learn more, please visit: https://mattydmedia.com/vhs-transfers
