This is what it's all about.

At this year's Midwest, some of the industry's most respected leaders stepped up to contribute to our auction. One of the donated store visits was from the Levinsons at Dynasty Jewelry and Loan in Atlanta.

Jeff Wilhelm also donated two consulting packages, which were sold for record-breaking amounts.

A couple of weeks ago, they got together in Atlanta and here's what Jeff had to say:

"I recently completed an excellent three-day visit with Ben, Joel, and the team at Dynasty Jewelry and Loan in Atlanta.

I wish to extend my sincere thanks for their generous donation from the May Midwest Expo auction. Dynasty Jewelry and Loan has consistently demonstrated remarkable generosity in supporting our industry.

They have developed an outstanding business and maintain a strong focus on customer service.

Collaborating with their team and offering new perspectives to help further enhance their operations was rewarding. We explored innovative strategies to achieve greater consistency and long-term sustainable growth beyond their current achievements.

My sincere appreciation goes out to the entire team for their exceptional hospitality during my stay. Thank you all once again."
