2025 Nexus Saturday Piece Review

Good Saturday morning everyone, and thank you for joining us. We hope you all are enjoying the holiday season and savoring the chance to slow down and enjoy meaningful moments spent with family and friends. 

Today, we’ll look back over our 2025 Saturday pieces that garnered the most reads and generated the highest rates of circulation. 

***

We don’t say it often, but the feedback we receive from CEOs and executives around the state is clearly fueling our growth, which is a reflection of your thoughtful readership and your willingness to share our work with colleagues and peers. We’re sincerely grateful for that support.

Our Saturday content is always rooted in Nexus’ core mission: providing North Carolina business leaders with timely, substantive, and bias-free insight. While our weekday Morning Updates deliver fast-moving analysis on state and national developments, Saturdays give us the opportunity to go deeper, examining issues from multiple perspectives and focusing on what they mean for the business community.

Earlier this year, The Results Company’s Chief Client Engagement Officer, Mike Rusher, unpacked the purpose of TRC Nexus, highlighting how Nexus doesn’t compete with traditional media, instead serving as an antidote to the growing frustration many leaders feel with today’s news environment. Traditional outlets are increasingly leaving leaders unprepared, offering less clarity and now receiving less support than ever. That’s where Nexus comes in. We provide leaders with the information and the clarity to thrive in a complex world. And as you’ll see in our Saturday pieces from 2025, we’ve continued to equip our readers with just that. 

Here are the five highest-performing Saturday pieces of 2025: 

• January 11th | The secret recipe for North Carolina’s economic ascension? 
• September 13th | From Greensboro to Ground Zero: Commemoration Courage and Unity
• June 14th | Lesson in Leadership: Randy Woodson 
• June 7th | NCInnovation’s Latest Round of Grant Funding Backs University Research Aimed at Real-World Impact 
• May 10th | Fort Bragg and Beyond: North Carolina’s Position as the Most Military Friendly State 

Along with our analysis of business, politics, and policy, around major holidays or other national milestones, The Results Company CEO Chuck Fuller delivers unique leadership-focused columns, often centered on how business relates to our personal lives and the things that truly define us. Here are Chuck’s pieces from this year: 

• Easter | Three Days in the Wilderness: On Faith, Leadership and the Power of Quiet Conviction
• Memorial Day | A Timeless Memorial Day Message 
• July 4th | Celebrating Those Who Answer the Call for Freedom 
• Labor Day | Putting the Focus on What Truly Matters
• Thanksgiving | The Golden Thread That Shines Just Beyond What We Can See 
• Christmas | Willingness Can Change the World 

Again, thank you all for your devoted readership and daily commitment to TRC Nexus. We are proud to bring you need-to-know information every week, at the intersection of business, politics, and policy. Please continue to offer your feedback and recommendations, we are always looking for ways to improve. 

Pass Nexus along to a friend or colleague. Our readership grows the most when readers like you spread our content around to people you think would enjoy it. 

We’ll be back Monday with more holiday content. 

We wish you all a Happy New Year.
