From the desk Chuck Fuller, CEO of The Results Company If there’s a throughline on the American psyche from the revolutionary era to now, it’s this: fear and pessimism, followed by courage and resilience. Today, as you celebrate our freedom with friends and family, I offer the below collage of stories – some historical, some personal…
From the desk Mike Rusher, President of The Results Company Thank you for joining again this Saturday morning, kicking off one of the liveliest holiday periods of the year.
