Story of this Photo: Proud BBB Member

By: David Hood, Induron CEO

Proud BBB MemberMy mother was a Virginian. Her parents lived in Roanoke, and we visited them many times when I was young and my mother was still alive. Because they were very proud Virginians, I was exposed to the history of that state at every opportunity. I, of course, was fascinated by the 18th-century life that was so revered and displayed around Virginia in the 1940’s and 1950’s. If you asked Virginians, Virginia was THE founding State of The United States of America. And in many ways, they were correct. Continue reading Story of this Photo: Proud BBB Member

How Nick Saban’s Comments on Complacency Apply to Induron

By: Davies Hood, Induron CEO

Values Recently, Alabama Football Coach Nick Saban told USA Today that complacency is his biggest rival. He said: “The human condition is to survive. It’s not to win the championship. It’s not to be the best you can be. It’s to survive…So when you tell me I’ve got to sell this many cars this month and that’s my quota — well, when I sell that many cars I’m ready for a couple of days off and go sit in my chair and, you know, eat Tostitos and cheese. I’m not trying to set the world record. That’s the human condition. So it’s actually special to be the other way, to be somebody that wants to win a championship, to be somebody that wants to be the best they can be.” Continue reading How Nick Saban’s Comments on Complacency Apply to Induron
