Last night we celebrated. After a heart attack nearly killed him last year, seeing Bobby Z take the stage at First Avenue was truly miraculous. The Revolution unleashed on a packed house in support of the American Heart Association and My Purple Heart. Last night we celebrated. Bobby wasn’t the only one there by grace, or even the only coworker of ours we’re lucky to still have in our midst. Two of our people photographed in this blog post have also suffered heart attacks in the past four years. Last night we celebrated. We celebrated Bobby’s recovery. We celebrated his choice to use his name and his talents to raise funds for the research and treatment of heart disease. We celebrated the recovery of our colleagues, our friends. We celebrated life. You may have missed the show, but you can still support the cause. Give generously to the American Heart Association and to My Purple Heart, so that we can all continue to celebrate...

We have state-of-the-art equipment at The ADS Group. High speed molding lines… Automated packaging… In house mastering… A full-service studio… But our passion – and our purpose – has always been people. The ADS Group boasts a very low turnover rate. Once you’re in, you’re family. Like family, we butt heads from time to time and we definitely don’t always agree – but there’s never a question that we support one another – both professionally and personally. Just right now, our folks in Studio 120 are helping two of our employees chase their dreams. Jac Cornelius is an account manager by day, but by night he’s on stage with The Union Suits. This year will be The Union Suits’ first appearance at SXSW. We’ll be exhibiting at the trade show, and our executive producer will be filming some rockumentary footage of the Union Suits and their SXSW experience. We also have a talented writer in our midst. Tez Eady from our replication department has written a gritty feature film entitled Sadness. Studio 120 is filming a seven-minute pitch segment to help Tez raise funding to shoot the full-length film. Everybody has a day job, and everybody has a dream. When you encourage people’s dreams, you foster incredible positive energy that bubbles over into everything. Will we ever be watching Jac rock out in an arena show? Will we munch popcorn in front of the big screen watching Tez’ film? Who knows? But we’re all better people for chasing our dreams, and helping others follow...

Well, winter has finally arrived in Minnesota today so our sales reps are clamoring to head for the beach. If you’re in the Orlando area, stop by and say hi to Ed Bonach, who will be exhibiting at the Posi Music Festival this weekend. Ed swears he’ll be meeting clients and working our booth, but a quick review of the emPower website reveals why he’s really going. emPower is a community of musicians, authors and speakers committed to using their gifts to promote positive change in the world…and all this? While they are wearing their pajamas! On Friday night, the emPower Festival will host its annual Pajama Jam concert series – so saddle up in your footie pajamas, grab your blankie and come on out for some great music and great folks. One quick request, though – don’t report back on what kind of jammies Ed wears. We’d really rather not...
