GUESTS AT THE HARD HATS WITH HEART GET THEIR HEARTS PUMPING AND PRACTICE THEIR FOWLING SKILLS

Heading Heart Health Awareness MCCARTHY BUILDING COMPANIES LEADER STEERS HARD HATS WITH HEART A fundraising campaign through the American Heart Association culminated April 15 at Fowling Warehouse on 90th Street in Omaha.

Titled “Hard Hats with Heart,” this campaign raised $80,000 and included hands-only CPR demonstrations at Turner Construction for 200 attendees and another for Leo A Daly for various members of the architecture, engineering and construction industries.

Hard Hats with Heart is a construction industry-specific initiative from the American Heart Association to improve the cardiovascular health of Omaha’s construction workers. Statistics show that workers in the construction industry are at an increased risk of developing cardiovascular disease. In fact, 343,000 construction workers (1 in 25) have already been diagnosed with cardiovascular disease. The campaign’s focus is to integrate health, well-being and prevention solutions into the industry’s culture by inspiring companies to implement initiatives to help employees improve health such as providing healthy food options, promoting physical activity during breaks, implementing stress-

reducing programs, educating employees about the signs of heart disease and teaching employees CPR. The event chair was Kris Montgomery, market leader for Nebraska at McCarthy Building Companies, who said, “Supporting the American Heart Association is about planting seeds of awareness. Our team at McCarthy is sending a clear message that the health of our team matters. Every heartbeat counts, and every dollar raised for the cause supports research, education and prevention efforts.”

“It is an honor to work with Kris,” said Kelly Morris, American Heart Association development director. “He is the perfect chair for Hard Hats with Heart, considering his years of experience, expertise, knowledge of the business, creativity and his leadership with the rest of the executive leadership team. McCarthy Building Companies is a leader in the industry when it comes to giving back and putting their employees’ health, safety and well-being first.”

A weekly recap of current, relevant and breaking business news in the greater Omaha area

TOP THINGS TO KNOW

The branding company Piktochart surveyed more than 3,000 businesses and compiled a list of companies with great branding in each state. These businesses are using everything from storefronts to Instagram feeds to create a a polished visual identity, making them stand out instead of being passed over. These small businesses are selling more than a product, they are selling an experience, a vibe, and a visual story. In Nebraska, Piktochart chose the following companies: Made in Omaha was chosen at No. 47. Piktochart said this retail collective has clean, modular, fun and creative branding that allows the diverse lineup of local makers to shine and flexes visually across products, packaging and storefronts with ease.

Goldenrod Pastries of Lincoln was ranked No. 98 for its vibrant, expressive colors, clean type, and a logo that feels handmade and polished.

Archetype Coffee of Omaha was ranked No. 140. Piktochart liked its modern, color block packaging, geometric iconography and consistent visual voice, which they said makes the coffee roaster stand out in the crowded specialty space.

LB647 amends provisions

Senators passed a package of revenue-related bills May 30 with LB647, a shell bill that was amended to include provisions to other bills. Three of these bills to receive amended provisions were of direct interest to businesses.

LB242 updates a measure that limits increases in city and county property tax request authority. The updates include modified property tax request authority calculation to ensure that it accounts for a political subdivision’s growth; a one-time mechanism allowing cities and counties to carry forward unused restricted funds authority and removal of a revenue cap on local occupation taxes.

LB314 allows a political subdivision and nonprofit corporation to apply for temporary approval for state assistance under the Sports Arena Facility Financing Assistance Act if each has adopted a resolution authorizing either coapplicant to pursue financing or bonds to acquire, construct, improve or equip an eligible sports arena facility.

LB401 clarifies a provision allowing Nebraskans to pay their state income taxes through a passthrough entity such as an LLC.

LB613 affects local option sales tax receipts

Lawmakers passed LB613 on a vote of 45-3 May 30. This measure is intended to help municipalities better track and predict local option sales tax receipts.

The state tax commissioner is required to provide a municipality that has adopted a local option sales tax with a list of the names and addresses of local retailers that have collected the tax.

LB613 states that a municipality may make the request three times per year (instead of annually) and ask for additional information, as long as it does not include data on the specific revenue, expenses or operations of any particular business.

Additionally, the bill requires the commissioner to send, upon request, electronic copies of local option sales and use tax returns and certain other information to an individual authorized by a municipality to review the confidential documents.

Under LB613, the authorized individual also may disclose tax returns and other information to another municipal employee to verify the accuracy of the collection, analysis and forecasting; accuracy of the allocation made between various municipalities of the tax due; or that taxes are used according to their approved purpose.

Finally, the bill allows a municipality to request from the state Department of Revenue a list of businesses that have applied to receive tax incentives under certain programs. That request may be made annually.

City of Omaha Planning Board approves annexation, principles

The City of Omaha plans to add 3,558 people and 1,438 acres in its 2025 Annexation Package. A large majority of the annexation includes Flanagan Lake and surrounding areas, encompassing SID 427, and including the Stone Creek and Copper Ridge subdivisions. The annexation package includes lots in West Hampton Park near 204th Street and Blondo Parkway, the fifth-floor condominiums on the top of the Aloft Hotel at 180th and Burke streets and Center Ridge subdivision at 192nd Street and West Center Road. The package will go through the review process, beginning with the Omaha Planning Board.

The City of Omaha also continues to work on its updated comprehensive plan, named “We Make Omaha.” This plan began with a survey in January 2024, and a draft was recently released after receiving public feedback. The plan includes nine guiding principals, addressing areas such as safety, affordability, sustainability, connectivity and diversity. The plan will determine future land use policy, infill strategies and establish goals for future development over the next 20 years. The city plans to complete the plan by early 2027.

SAFETY IN THE workplace

Safety First, Always

NATIONAL SAFETY COUNCIL HONORS NEBRASKA’S SAFEST COMPANIES STORY AND PROFILES BY KARA SCHWEISS | HEADSHOTS CONTRIBUTED | GRAPHIC BY JALAPINO DESIGNS

There are plenty of studies out there that point to the fact that investments in safety more than return themselves in cost savings and increased productivity.

- ERIC KOEPPE, PRESIDENT/CEO, NATIONAL SAFETY COUNCIL, NEBRASKA CHAPTER

The nonprofit National Safety Council, Nebraska Chapter works to prevent injuries and save lives at work, at home and on the road, said President and CEO Eric Koeppe, so the organization created the Nebraska’s Safest Companies Awards 36 years ago to recognize businesses and nonprofits that prioritize safety. Last month, the 2025 awards honored more than 130 organizations for their efforts.

“Our member companies can apply for being designated as a Nebraska Safest Company, and there are a couple of measures that go with that,” he explained.

“There’s a survey of your policies and your procedures, and there’s a scorecard that they have to meet certain criteria on, and the other is your safety record compared to your industry average across the nation.”

Companies’ safety records are compared to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics’ safety statistics published every year, Koeppe said.

“If they are better than industry average and their scorecard number is sufficient, they can be designated as a Nebraska Safest Company. If their scorecard is even higher and they are 50% better than industry average, they can be designated as a Safest Company with Distinction,” he said. “It is not a competition with other companies. It is comparison between your company and the industry national average.”

Nearly 80 companies received the “with distinction” designation in 2025, including eight first-year honorees and two companies — Kiewit Corp. and

Northern Natural Gas — that have received the award all 36 years. A handful of other companies have earned “with distinction” 25 years or more: 55th Wing Offutt Air Force Base, Cargill, PCS Phosphate Company Inc., OSI Oakland, Union Pacific Railroad and Peraton.

Among the award recipients with safety records better than their industry national average, seven were recognized for the first time this year. Four companies have earned the designation for 25 or more years: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers-Omaha, Mary Lanning Healthcare, Immanuel and JBS-Omaha.

Right and required

While organizations certainly take pride in earning the Safest Companies designation, Koeppe said, practicing high safety standards is rewarding in and of itself.

“First, it is the right thing to do. You want to ensure that the employees that come to work for you every day go home as good or better than when they came to work. Second of all, there are financial incentives to making sure employees are safe: lower overall cost, less downtime and higher productivity,” he said. “There are plenty of studies out there that point to the fact that investments in safety more than return themselves in cost savings and increased productivity.”

It’s also the law. The Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 requires most private-sector employers to provide “safe and healthy working conditions” for their employees. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration, an agency within

SalonCentric - Professional Beauty Partners BEAU FULLER

EHS MANAGER, SALONCENTRIC PROFESSIONAL BEAUTY PARTNERS

For the sixth year, SalonCentric in La Vista has earned a Nebraska’s Safest Companies with Distinction designation from the National Safety Council, Nebraska Chapter. The facility encompasses about 200,000 square feet, said Beau Fuller, EHS Manager with SalonCentric - Professional Beauty Partners, and is one of the top distribution centers by volume in its network.

“Given the capacity and what we process, we are significantly smaller than our counterparts,” Fuller said.

SalonCentric is a subsidiary of L’Oreal USA and the La Vista distribution center ships salon professional products throughout the United States. In order to process the large volume in its relatively Page 6 • June 13, 2025

small footprint, vertical space is maximized and safety becomes paramount.

“We work at height. People get on a forklift, and it is a stock picker … they get on a platform, they harness up, they go up to levels all the way up to the seventh floor, and they hand-pick product and come back down and set it on pallet,” Fuller said. “It gets wrapped and then distributed. And then (there is) the shipping side of things, which is dock safety and trailer safety.”

Training for safety managers is robust, he added. It’s not only a reflection of compliance with industry regulations, it’s also a reflection of the company’s core values.

the U.S. Department of Labor, sets and enforces standards as well as provides training and education. OSHA also has industry-specific resources and guidance for particular sectors with daily work tasks or environmental conditions that are inherently riskier, and more regulations naturally apply to those employers.

“The two largest industries that have to focus on safety are construction, of course, and then manufacturing,” Koeppe said.

“But what I will say to that is, the No. 1 cause of workplace fatality in Nebraska and in the United States is actually transportation … that goes across all industries.”

This year, Nebraska’s Safest Companies Awards included a Workplace Driving Safety Award for the first time to bring light to transportation safety. Most of the awardees were not transportationsector companies, reflecting the fact that driving for work — whether in personal or company vehicles, or whether frequent or occasional — is a common expectation for workers across the board.

“We were very excited to award (nearly) 50 companies,” Koeppe said, adding that workplaces can contact his office to request a special presentation to educate employees on driving safety.

CONTINUED

The distribution center also utilizes temporary employees and welcomes workers from diverse backgrounds, so safety training is near-constant. To ensure safety for everyone, materials and signage are produced in multiple languages or with easyto-understand graphics.

“About 60% of our employees do not speak English, so we’re about 40% English primary and 60% nonprimary,” Fuller said. “Out of all of our L’Oreal and SalonCentric sites, we are probably the most diverse — here in middle America, Omaha. It is challenging. We accept it; we believe it is something that makes us ‘us.’”

Nebraska Spine + Pain Center For a second year, Nebraska Spine + Pain Center has earned a designation by the National Safety Council, Nebraska Chapter as one of Nebraska’s Safest Companies with Distinction, which means achieving a safety record at least 50% better than industry national average as determined by objective measures. The practice’s very existence is to serve patients, Safety Committee Chairperson Mary Hoogner said, and its team of back, neck and spine specialists and support staff promote a high level of quality care to support healing. However, everyone’s safety — not just that of patients — is important in a health care setting like Nebraska Spine + Pain Center, she added, and that means being mindful of, and addressing, both typical workplace safety concerns and risks unique to the sector.

“Trips and falls are the most common safety issue here along with the risk of needle sticks, bloodborne pathogens concerns, workplace violence in health care, and lifting and ergonomic concerns with typical office work,” she said. “We believe that providing a safe environment for our staff, patients and visitors is of the utmost importance as these are our biggest assets. Providing education to our staff on all types of safety — whether it be at work or at home — shows that we care for their safety and well-being.”

The practice has taken the initiative in providing supplemental safety training above and beyond assuring compliance with industry requirements, Hoogner said. “We have done workplace violence training, fire extinguisher training and have had Nick Sauma from the Safety Council here in Omaha come and give talks to our staff on distracted driving for the past two years,” she said. “We are always on the lookout for ways to bring education to the staff on all types of safety concerns that may affect their work or home life.”

SAFETY IN THE workplace

Safety First, Always

NATIONAL SAFETY COUNCIL HONORS NEBRASKA’S SAFEST COMPANIES

A lot of companies maybe think, ‘Well, I don’t have really any (safety concerns). I’m not a manufacturer.

I’m not in construction. But there are a lot of areas of safety that that impact their business.

- ERIC KOEPPE FROM PREVIOUS PAGE

“We actually have a program that’s funded by the Nebraska Department of Transportation, where we will come out to companies and make a presentation, and it’s no charge. It’s funded by a grant,” he said. “We can talk about seat belts, distracted driving and those types of things.”

Any workplace can be safer

Workplace safety may be typically associated with industries heavily regulated

by OSHA, but even a quiet office environment can present hazards from slip or trip risks to repetitive motion injury potential.

“A lot of companies maybe think, ‘Well, I don’t have really any (safety concerns).

I’m not a manufacturer. I’m not in construction,’” Koeppe said, “but there are a lot of areas of safety that that impact their business.”

Transportation, of course, is one universal concern. Responding to emergencies is another. A seasonal issue that’s pertinent right now, he added, is preventing heat exhaustion and heat stroke; as the winter months near, hypothermia and frostbite prevention will increase in importance. There are also common issues a typical worker or employer may not even consider when assessing their well-being at work.

“In office environments, it’s ‘How is my office?’ ‘How is my workspace set up?’

‘How should I be lifting properly?’ Ergonomics is a big issue in the safety world,” Koeppe said. “We also do some training on workplace violence, de-escalation.

That’s another area that all companies should consider: how they’re protecting their employees, how they’re protecting their customers, and how they’re protecting their facilities and their merchandise.”

Investments of time and money may be needed to create a safer workplace, but the payoff can be not only reduced risk, but also improved employee wellbeing, Koeppe said. Some solutions may be relatively simple, like installing stronger lighting in stairwells, issuing personal protective equipment, placing anti-slip mats in strategic areas, and removing obstacles in the path of emergency exits. Equipment like ergonomic seating, fire extinguishers, an automated external defibrillator or security cameras may require more effort to implement.

Improvements may also be tied to training initiatives such as CPR/first aid classes or emergency procedures instruction.

Resources for workplace safety evaluation and safety training include OSHA and the National Safety Council, Koeppe said, plus trade organizations and other industry partners.

“There’s a lot of information out there,” he said.

NEBRASKA’S SAFEST COMPANIES PROFILE:

Metropolitan Utilities District SHANE DOCKEN

MANAGER, SAFETY FOR METROPOLITAN UTILITIES DISTRICT

“The water and natural gas utility sector presents a wide range of potential safety issues. We do physically demanding work under a variety of sometimes-challenging conditions,” said Shane Docken, manager, safety for Metropolitan Utilities District (M.U.D.). “We take our responsibility to protect both employees and the public seriously.”

Clearly, the Omaha-based utilities company puts safety first. This year, M.U.D. Water became a 12-year recipient of a Nebraska’s Safest Companies with Distinction Award.

M.U.D. Gas earned its second Nebraska’s Safest Companies designation. Both divisions were named among the first-year cohort for the Workplace Driving Safety Award designation, reflecting safety records above the industry national average. The utilities sector is already highly regulated, but M.U.D. has implemented several key safety initiatives focused on both prevention and awareness, Docken said.

“Our training programs cover a variety of topics to include confined space entry, trenching and shoring, gas leak detection and emergency response. Crews participate in regular safety Page 8 • June 13, 2025

meetings to review job-specific risks and refresh procedures.

Site audits and inspections are routinely conducted to make sure standards are being followed and improvements are identified early,” he said. “One program we’re especially proud of is our Two-Minute Drill. Before starting any job, crews take a moment to pause, assess the worksite and identify potential hazards. This quick but focused step promotes constant awareness and helps prevent incidents by encouraging communication and shared responsibility.”

Docken also emphasized the importance of specialized field technology as well as public education efforts about the importance of calling 811 before digging to avoid utility strikes.

“We support a culture of safety through programs that recognize safe work practices and encourage employees to report hazards and share solutions,” Docken said. “(Our employees) show up each day ready to take on demanding and important work. Their effort, dedication and professionalism are what make our mission possible. Safety is not just a policy; it’s a shared commitment.”

Building a Safety Culture

HOW OMAHA CONSTRUCTION FIRMS ARE PROTECTING WORKERS

BY DAISY HUTZELL-RODMAN | PHOTOGRAPHY CONTRIBUTED

We were thinking, ‘Oh, we’ll just do Spanish,’ thinking ‘Spanish is Spanish,’ but it’s not.

- MIKE LANGFORD, CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER, RONCO CONSTRUCTION

Late April 2024 proved challenging for those in safety departments at construction companies around the area. The late afternoon of April 26, 2024, was particularly hazardous.

“One of our most unique challenges is unpredictable weather,” said Mike Langford, chief operating officer at Ronco Construction.

“How do you notify people (of a tornado) on a 40-acre site when there’s no building?”

Ronco’s solution was to use three blasts of an air horn, and the 50 people working onsite that day were able to take shelter and avoid being hurt. That situation has translated into a standard, and people at Ronco’s work sites now understand that, if they hear three blasts of an air horn, take shelter.

Weather situations are one of the many hazards — predictable

and unpredictable — that abound on construction sites. Construction companies around the metro have worked to build a culture of being a safe place to work because, at the end of the day, they all echoed the sentiments of Mike Johnson, executive vice president of Kiewit Building Group Inc., who told Midlands Business Journal via email, “Safety is embedded in everything we do, because nothing is more important.”

A primary goal

That culture of safety, in many area companies, needs to be cultivated from the top down. Paul Jay, safety manager for Darland Construction Co., said leadership there is active in making sure

The expectations of (a worker’s) role is, not so much what their duties are, but what the expectations of safety are.

-RUBEN BERA, SAFETY DIRECTOR, AOI CONSTRUCTION TEAM

employees follow regulations to stay safe.

“There’s conversations where the leadership is using (industry) words or pieces from safety compliance,” Jay said, “so that the employees feel as though maybe someone above them is interested in their true welfare and their safety.”

Implementing a safety culture on job sites starts from day one and is a key part of building the culture, said Ruben Bera, safety director on the AOI construction team.

“I do new-hire orientation, and I walk them through the expectations of what their role is, not so much what their duties are, but what the expectations of safety are,” Bera said.

Bryan Mahoney, AOI field operations manager, concurred that the expectations were high, saying “if (anyone) sees a subcontractor or one of their workmates not being safe, we want you to feel empowered that you can say something to them.”

A multifaceted approach

Keeping all employees safe means making sure everyone understands the protocols, and in an industry in which the American Bureau of Immigration estimates 16.6% of workers in Nebraska are immigrants, making sure everyone receives the same language can be a challenge.

“We’ve learned … over the last few years that there are certain slang words in parts of Guatemala versus Mexico, they’re not all the same,” Langford said. “We were thinking, ‘Oh, we’ll just do Spanish,’ thinking ‘Spanish is Spanish,’ but it’s not. So, we’ve worked really hard to make sure that we have very good fluidity so that it is universal.”

Johnson emailed that, “All safety communications … are delivered in multiple languages and/or through clear visual depictions. That multilingual and visual approach helps bridge communication gaps.”

In a job that is physical in nature, being ready to do the work is important, which is why Weitz has implemented a daily exercise routine for all workers before they go into the field.

Aaron Anderson, vice president of safety at Weitz, said, “Probably the most important thing we do is every morning on our projects, we bring in everybody who works there. Every employee, foreman, subcontractors, all our employees, and they all get together and meet, and we do stretching.”

Building a Safety Culture

HOW OMAHA CONSTRUCTION FIRMS ARE PROTECTING WORKERS

At the end of the day, we want everyone to go home safe.

- BRYAN MAHONEY, AOI FIELD OPERATIONS MANAGER

FROM PAGE 9

While protocols and activities have been front and center of maintaining safety at construction companies, technology is becoming a bigger part of employee safety.

The latest wave of technology has been wearables, including sensors and AI-based monitoring systems. Hard hats have evolved into tighter-fitting helmets with a chin strap, making them less likely to fall off during the work day.

“People like them,” Jay said. “They’re lighter, they fit on the head, and we’ve had some very windy days.”

In the age of smart technology, smart tools have become a welcome feature.

“We’re using smart tools to help protect our crews not just by responding to risks, but by staying ahead of them,” Johnson said. “E-fencing, integrated into many of our excavators, sets virtual boundaries for how equipment moves, limiting swing angles, boom height, and reach to help operators stay within designated fields from live power lines.”

Anderson said Weitz uses an app, downloaded to each employee’s phone, to make sure everyone can see how others are being safe, or not safe.

“We started using a software called MindForge … we can send photos, we can do training through this,” he said. “It’s really interesting, the things it can do.”

AOI AWARD

Addressing the whole person

Safety not only addresses physical health, but also mental health. In 2020, research conducted by the organization Construction Industry Rehabilitation Plan Inc. discovered 83% of construction industry workers have experienced some form of moderate to severe mental health issue.

Construction companies across the U.S. recognize the need for worker support. At Kiewit, a program known as Under the Hat: Building Healthy Minds gives workers resources for mental health. The reasoning, as the AARON company website states, “We all wear many hats whether ANDERSON in the field or at home — we’re sons and daughters, brothers and sisters, friends and colleagues. We recognize VICE PRESIDENT OF SAFETY, it can be hard to juggle all these responsibilities and WEITZ prioritize mental health.”

When employees demonstrate the safety culture, they are rewarded in a variety of ways. Several of the companies noted a “bucks” system, in which employees can win a coupon for reduced merchandise at the company store, while Anderson noted a weekly trivia question that is sent to employees.

Recognizing safety in the workplace is important, whether it’s how a company focuses on making sure tools are put away properly, or that workers use pneumatic nail guns correctly, or reducing the impact of a slippery work environment from a sudden rainstorm. Each construction company MBJ spoke to had the same goal.

“At the end of the day, we want everyone to go home safe,” Mahoney said.

Prairie in Bloom LUKAS RIX, OWNER, PRAIRIE IN BLOOM

Beauty by Design FROM BACKYARD BOUQUETS TO BLOOMING BUSINESS – LUKAS RIX BUILDS BEAUTY

Lukas Rix learned early in life that he had an entrepreneurial spirit. As a six-year-old in rural Lyons, Nebraska, he went around the neighborhood cutting people’s flowers, arranging them in vases and then selling them to the very people who resided on the properties where the flowers grew.

It worked pretty well until one day he sold his aunt a vase of her own flowers.

“She called my mom and said, ‘Do you know what Lukas is doing? He’s cutting people’s flowers and selling them back to them,’” Rix said.

Busted by his own flesh and blood, his mother made him return the money to each person, but he had tasted the success of being his own boss. He knew for most of his life he wasn’t cut out for the corporate world.

Entrepreneurial spirit

After college, and following an internship with Target

that solidified his desire to be his own boss, Rix opened Rustic Treasures, an antique consignment store in Wayne.

“I couldn’t fathom the idea of corporate waste,” he said.

“That’s what made me think I should open a thrift store and save some stuff from the landfill. It was really important to me to be able to start the business and run it the way I think would be best for this earth.”

Working with people seeking to make some money from antiques, Rix developed a following, with people from Omaha willing to drive more than 100 miles to shop at Rustic Treasures. While he enjoyed selling collectibles, Rix said he savored the home decor aspect of the store.

“We started pairing up florals with a lot of our vintage containers, like an old soda pop bottle with some stems coming out of it that would be really pretty, a wildflower look,” he said.

After realizing he preferred to sell a larger inventory rather than a single item from the consignment store, Prairie in Bloom was born.

Moving to home decor

Prairie in Bloom combines both of Rix’s passions: home decor and an entrepreneurial spirit. The original store was located at 17th and Cuming streets, but customers can now find him at a location near Oakview Mall.

Rix said he believes the relationships he and his team have developed with shoppers go beyond basic service.

“Relationships are key because a lot of times, once we get a customer in, they become lifetime customers,” he said. “The amount of people that travel down here, it’s more than just selling goods to them. They truly enjoy the journey.”

People visiting Prairie in Bloom admire Rix’s artistic touch with each home decor set he creates around the store. From flowers in a vase to paintings, customers rely on his talents to help decorate their homes.

“You look at each of the displays and they’re so layered that a person can come in and just grab the entire look,” Rix said. “They may not realize they’re in love with purple, and they didn’t realize that this art piece has purple in it, and then there’s this vase. It can pull the full look together.”

Letting other stores get into discount battles, he seeks to add value to a purchase, Rix said.

“There’s always someone willing to undercut you,” he said. “We don’t discount but we can add value. If we can trim down their purchase, we will. We can show them how

they can use a container for six other things rather than just one. That’s adding value.”

Don’t compare yourself Recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic was a major accomplishment for the store, Rix said.

“The idea of a person going to the mall 10 or 15 years ago was wonderful,” he said. “Now, it’s like, ‘Why don’t you just order it online and pick it up?’ I’m proud that we maintained our strength since COVID, being able to get a customer to come in and enjoy the displays and merchandise.”

While he enjoys customers physically visiting the store, Rix said he embraces the idea of using technology as a way to help clients design the perfect home display.

He envisions creating an online design house where customers can post a photo of an area they want to decorate, then Prairie in Bloom creates a display using the store’s products, he said.

Rix’s advice for going into business for oneself is simple: Don’t compare yourself to anyone else.

“The minute you look at the competition, you’re slowing down your game, You’re trying to catch up with the ideal,” he said. “Just continue to believe in yourself. Comparison is the thief of joy.”

Ital Vital IMANI MURRAY, OWNER, ITAL VITAL

Creating Artistic, Healthy Smoothies IMANI MURRAY FOLLOWS HEALTHY PATH TO NORTH OMAHA JUICE STORE The power of social media helped guide Imani Murray to a life-changing decision, to step away from a budding career as a ceramics artist and open her own business. Ital Vital focuses on healthy juices and smoothies, based on Murray’s veganism.

The store offers more than 20 drinks and several types of smoothie bowls.

“It kind of started as a YouTube channel,” Murray said. “I was documenting recipes and I would do smoothies at my house. I remember when I made my first smoothie, I bought a food processor and a dehydrator, all at once. I was just really excited to do recipes.”

As she posted recipes and videos of smoothies online, Murray said she established a following. Soon after, her fans began asking where they could buy the drinks and so she launched pop-ups, selling juices, smoothies and smoothie bowls at community events, especially along 24th Street in north Omaha.

“One that sticks out to me is our expectant mothers Mother’s Day event,” Murray said. “It was all about expectant mothers or mothers who had just had a baby.

We provided 100 free smoothies and we collaborated with a lot of local doulas. We like our events to be different and engaging with the community.”

As the business took off — she was a student at the University of Nebraska Omaha, living in an on-campus apartment — Murray used her roommates as guinea pigs.

“I bought all these things and I was like, ‘Hey, try this,’ and I’d make a new concoction,” she said. “That’s where it started. Even though my degree wasn’t the path that I went on, it kind of bloomed there.”

Now with a bachelor’s degree in art education, Murray comes from a family of artists. Marcus Murray, a muralist, created paintings at both of her locations — the original store at 24th Street and the second spot at 7531 Cuming St.

Brick-and-mortar location

With her business’ popularity growing, it was time to move from community events to a brick-and-mortar location. Spending a year at a public kitchen, Murray said she was ready to fly solo and open a physical location in 2021, which she did at 2323 N. 24th St. The store, while small, met a much-desired need for north Omaha, Murray said.

“We were providing healthy things to our community,” she said. “North 24th Street, where we started, was a food desert. There’s barely any grocery stores in north Omaha, let alone healthy drinks and stuff that we’re doing and providing.”

Growing the small business slowly allowed her to build for success rather than immediately look to expansion Murray said.

“I think in this economy, sometimes starting small is better,” she said. “We didn’t start off with a huge location; we just figured it out by baby-stepping it the whole way. I think that caused good growth, because sometimes you learn hard lessons. Because we were not

so big, we could do it better the next time just by taking it slow. I think it really helped us with our longevity.”

As Ital Vital grew over the next few years, Murray said she realized the 24th Street location was too small for storage and for future plans to host health-related classes and programs. She decided to look for a second location but 18 months into the search, Murray became frustrated because the ideal location wasn’t presenting itself. Then, the pivotal moment came for Ital Vital.

“It was just a very hard moment, and I was like, ‘Do we keep going? Should we maybe try in another state?’”

Murray said. “Then, this location opened up for us.”

If she could share a smoothie with her younger self, Murray said she’d encourage herself to be passionate about what she loves even if it takes her down a different path than she planned.

“I think that’s the biggest thing, finding what you’re passionate about and don’t rush it,” Murray said. “When I was in college, I didn’t think that I would be a business owner or be on this track, but I was just naturally passionate about veganism and health.”

MARCO KPEGLO LEROC

DATE OF BIRTH: JANUARY 16, 1981 PLACE OF BIRTH: LOME, TOGO EDUCATION: BACHELOR’S DEGREE IN ACCOUNTING

The American Dream

MARCO KPEGLO LEROC IS AN IMMIGRANT SUCCESS STORY In the American tradition of the great melting pot, Marco Kpeglo LeRoc’s journey from African immigrant student to successful entrepreneur would be inspiring no matter what. The fact that he built his success in the face of steep challenges only lends weight to his tale of perseverance.

banking, all that stuff, is just different, right?” he said. “If you don’t know how to manage those things, you can end up in financial trouble and that’s what happened.

Coming to a new country, not understanding how the economy and things worked back then was a challenge.”

“My story is one of struggle, my personal struggles when I came to the U.S., trying to find my way,” he said. “When someone comes from a different country, it is sometimes challenging to figure out the whole system. You learn every day and I’m still learning, you know, I’m still making mistakes.”

As he worked to overcome his own financial problems, LeRoc became acutely aware of how many people, both foreign- and native-born, were experiencing the same thing. He decided to channel his hunger and drive for success toward offering his hard-learned lessons to others.

A native of Togo, LeRoc is the product of a middle-class upbringing as the son of a banker and an educator. He came to Omaha to attend college, first earning an associate’s degree from Metropolitan Community College and then finishing his bachelor’s degree in accounting from Bellevue University. It was during his collegiate experience that he fell into a trap familiar to many college students.

“Once I started that process of becoming knowledgeable about the financial aspect, how things work, credit cards, debit cards, all those little things, I told myself that the best way to learn is to teach others,” he said. “I started sharing with my friends things like in the stock market, what company to buy and things like that.”

“Back then, when I was beginning, you know, the whole system, the credit cards,

In 2014, LeRoc published “Cash in with Your Money,” a book addressing such subjects as improving financial literacy, managing debt, budgeting and saving. He

followed that up the following year with “Screw College Debt,” offering strategies for paying for college other than taking out a backbreaking number of student loans as well as creative repayment strategies for those struggling with college debt.

For his third book, 2017’s “Activate Your Untapped Potential,” he expanded his subject matter.

“We have to figure how to develop ourselves personally and professionally,” he said.

“We talk about leadership a lot, but we don’t talk that much about self-leadership, how you discover your purpose, the meaning of achieving your goals. You know, it’s great to achieve your goals but what I figured out is every time you achieve a goal, it does not become your goal anymore, becomes an impact on somebody else.”

Impacting others has been a reoccurring theme for LeRoc and led him to create the Global Leadership Africa Summit.

“We started out back in 2018 with a simple goal to connect young professional African leaders in the diaspora and it has been very well received,” he said.

“People get to network, get to connect and even today, people will come up to me and tell me, ‘Oh, I met so-and-so through the summit,’ or ‘So-and-so and I were doing business because of the summit.’”

FAVORITE PLACE IN OMAHA FOR A SPECIAL OCCASION DINNER: WHEN DINING AT THE KONA GRILL, I (WOULD) GET THE CHICKEN SATAY.

LeRoc is very transparent about the role of mentors in his journey, people who were generous with their time as they shared expertise gained through years in business. At the same time, he preaches a message of accountability, challenging his readers and listeners to take personal control of their futures through hard work and determination.

As for the future, LeRoc said he is interested in continuing to spread the wisdom of the business community through his YouTube channel and other platforms. As an entrepreneur himself, he relishes the opportunity to be in the presence of business and community leaders and is excited to share those insights with a broader audience. He’s also motivated to address various ills in society as it pertains to mental health.

“I never found it really difficult to get in front of an audience,” he said. “I actually get excited because for me, it is an opportunity not only to share with people, but also to learn. People always think like learning travels one way; I always think it goes two ways. I always leave having gained something from the audience that can build a relationship or help me learn something new.

“My next goal is to go and interview those C-suite leaders and bring their story to others,” he said. “I also want to do an event that will focus on men. Currently a lot of men are struggling in silence and I have had some friends who, unfortunately, committed suicide. I want to start a retreat for men where they can come and talk about struggles and how we can better ourselves.

“People, even leaders, have to put themselves out there in ways where they can also always learn from employees. Just because you’re going to speak somewhere doesn’t mean you are more knowledgeable than the audience, you may just be sharing some information that they may not have heard at that particular time. But it is also true they will have something to share with you as well. One secret to success is you have to be teachable.”

“The third thing focuses on the concept of failure as a human being, and how we should not be ashamed of our failures. Many people in life feel alone right now, even entrepreneurs or successful business owners, there’s a struggle somewhere.

We don’t want people to be ashamed of those struggles but be able to find a support system to figure out how they can cope and turn those challenges to an opportunity for themselves or others.”

BRYAN OSWALD,

OWNER, OSWALD FINANCIAL GROUP

Why did you start your business?

What advice do you have for aspiring entrepreneurs?

I began my career in 2007, at a pivotal time when 10,000 Americans were turning 65 each day. Driven by a strong desire to become a trusted expert in retirement planning, I immersed myself in learning everything I could about the evolving retirement landscape. Over time, my passion evolved into a mission: to educate retirees about their rights, choices and the benefits available to them.

1) Lead with purpose, not just profit: A clear mission will carry you through the hard times. Know why you’re doing it — and who you’re doing it for.

What are you most excited about for the future of your business?

The biggest opportunity right now for a retirement income professional lies in becoming a trusted architect of income security for the baby boomer generation by guiding individuals in creating reliable, protected income streams that replace the role once played by pensions.

BRYAN OSWALD, OWNER OF OSWALD FINANCIAL GROUP

Industry : Finance Address: 8540 Executive Woods Drive, Suite 300, Lincoln Phone: 402-904-7924 Email: bryan@oswald-financial.com

With over 4.1 million Americans turning 65 each year through 2027 — more than 11,200 every day — the demand for retirement income guidance is reaching unprecedented levels. Most of today’s retirees won’t have access to traditional pensions. Combine this with longer life expectancies, and the risk of outliving one’s savings becomes very real.

The old retirement system — built around Social Security, employer pensions, and personal savings — is outdated.

Today’s retirees need a modernized, holistic income strategy that blends Social Security optimization, annuities, income-generating investments and tax efficiency.

The greatest opportunity is helping retirees convert assets into sustainable, protected income while educating them along the way. Those who lead with insight, empathy and practical solutions will be at the forefront of shaping the next era of retirement security in America.

2) Embrace the grind: Success takes sacrifice. Be prepared for long hours, lean seasons and slow starts. Stay consistent — small steps compound into big wins.

3) Be a relentless learner and prospector: Master your craft and never stop putting yourself out there. Education and outreach are the foundation of lasting growth.

4) Build trust above all: People don’t buy products — they buy confidence. Lead with integrity, provide real value and let trust do the heavy lifting.

How have you benefited from being a member of EO? EO has helped me in several areas of my life and business.

EO isn’t just about networking — it’s about transformation.

It can be a collaborative, purpose-driven path, one where you grow faster, lead better and build not just a successful business but a meaningful life.

Small Businesses Gain Big-League Talent with Scalable, Cost-Effective Fractional Services

SPONSORED BY HORSEPOWER TODAY

HORSEPOWER TODAY GIVES BUSINESS OWNERS ACCESS TO TOP-TIER TALENT WITHOUT FULL-TIME COSTS

PRESENTED BY HORSEPOWER TODAY Mid-size businesses often benefit from an established leadership team and defined structure, but that doesn’t make them immune to burnout. When a key leader exits, a role remains unfilled or departments are stretched thin, the pressure doesn’t disappear, it shifts. More often than not, it lands squarely on the shoulders of already-busy executives.

In today’s tight labor market, talent gaps are increasingly common and disruptive. Leaders are being asked to step in — again and again — on tasks far outside their expertise. A CFO might be pulled into HR compliance. A COO may be handling marketing strategy. A CEO could find themselves overseeing payroll or vendor negotiations simply because there’s no one else available.

These extra responsibilities compound quickly, leading to stress, inefficiency and mounting burnout across the C-suite.

Fractional executive support is a modern solution built for moments like these. Whether due to a sudden vacancy, a hiring mismatch or a short-term need, fractional professionals — experienced leaders who step in on a parttime or project basis — can stabilize operations and restore focus where it’s needed most.

Take finance, for example. When a mid-sized company preparing for a major investment lost its internal accounting team, Horsepower Today placed a fractional finance leader to guide the business through due diligence and steady financial operations. Without adding a permanent salary or rushing a key hire, the company maintained momentum and reduced leadership strain during a high-pressure period.

This model works because it provides relief without sacrificing control.

Fractional leaders don’t just advise from the sidelines, they integrate into the team, align with company goals and bring immediate clarity to complex challenges. Whether in finance, HR or operations, they carry the load with confidence so existing leaders can return to doing what they do best.

One executive shared their experience after bringing in fractional financial support: “We were preparing for a significant investment and the volume of financial requests was overwhelming — especially since I don’t have a finance background,” they said. “To make matters worse, our finance team exited just as things ramped up.

“Bringing in fractional support through Horsepower Today was a turning point. They stepped in immediately, managed investor requirements with precision, and stabilized the function during a critical time. I could refocus on leading the business, knowing the financial side was in expert hands.”

Companies of all sizes — from growing mid-sized firms to complex

enterprise organizations — face moments when internal capacity is stretched thin. Whether it’s a gap in leadership, a stalled initiative or the need for specialized expertise, fractional support offers a flexible, high-impact solution. It fills critical roles quickly, keeps strategic priorities on track, and protects leadership bandwidth when and where it’s needed most.

No business can afford stalled growth or burned-out executives, and no leadership team should be forced to do more with less indefinitely. Fractional support offers a smarter way forward — one that prioritizes both business performance and executive well-being.

Horsepower Today provides fractional leadership in finance, HR and operations for mid- to large-size businesses across Omaha and the Midlands. Learn more at horsepowertoday.com.

Rising Rates May Not Mean What You Think The U.S. budget deficit is back in the spotlight again. At the same time, U.S. interest rates have resumed their rise after falling for the first few months of the year. Many investors Brett Carson are linking the two together. The thought is Chief Investment Officer that if investors (both U.S. and foreign) begin to lose confidence that the U.S. government is serious about tackling its growing debt and deficit, they will demand a higher yield to be compensated for rising credit risk.

Thus, the narrative is that the upward trend in U.S. interest rates is being fueled by skeptical bond investors that demand being paid for this risk.

Or what if interest rates are just normalizing after years of Fed intervention called quantitative easing (QE) that lasted from 2008 to 2021?

It may be possible that we spent so long in abnormal times that we forgot what normal looks like. Since 1962, yields on the 10-year U.S. Treasury has averaged about 5.9%, according to Macrotrends. Compared to its current level of just under 4.5%, this security is about 1.4% below its 60-plus year average. That’s not the only debt instrument that remains relatively low. Since 1954, the Fed Funds rate has averaged 4.6% compared to its current range of 4.25% to 4.50%. The same is true for mortgage rates. Since 1971, the average rate that homebuyers pay on a 30-year fixed mortgage has been about 7.7%.

According to Bankrate, the average today is 6.97%. Lately, there has been a lot of media noise about yields on the 30-year U.S. Treasury eclipsing 5%, but its average since it began in 1977 is 6.5%.

Remember, the Fed’s QE program was a key driver of low interest rates. It purchased trillions of U.S. Treasuries and mortgage-backed securities. Prior to the global financial crisis, the Fed owned about 10% of outstanding Treasury securities. By 2021, this nearly tripled to become 25% of the entire Treasury market. According to Fed reports, there would be months where the Fed’s QE program would purchase upwards of 50% to 90% of newly issued Treasuries.

Now the market for U.S. government bonds is being priced by the free market — not our central bank. Furthermore, this wasn’t just a U.S. phenomenon,

it was global. The European Central Bank, the Bank of England, the Bank of Canada and the Bank of Japan all ceased or meaningfully curtailed their QE programs in 2022.

Our point isn’t to downplay the U.S. debt and deficit. Even though the rate on the 10-year U.S. Treasury is back to where it was in 2007, our national debt has grown from $9 trillion that year to $36 trillion currently, according to the U.S. Treasury. Our government needs to reduce its debt level. Rather, the point is that the recent rise in interest rates may have little to do with U.S. creditworthiness and more about global central banks ending their QE programs and getting back to normal.

MIDLANDS LEADERS q&a

MIDLANDS BUSINESS JOURNAL

KELLY ADAMS, IT’S ALL ABOUT EMPLOYMENT Midlands Leaders is a weekly section showcasing individuals who are making an impact in the community through their professional and volunteer endeavors. To nominate someone for this section, email news@mbj.com with the individual’s name, position, company and email.

Bio:

A Council Bluffs native, Kelly Adams moved to Omaha when he was 16, graduating from Omaha Central High School in 1981.

During his career in the employment KELLY industry, he has ADAMS helped people with disabilities enter or reenter the workforce and for the past three years, he’s served as executive director of It’s All About Employment. The Omaha nonprofit he founded helps people overcome issues in their backgrounds that pose challenges to gaining employment.

How long have you been involved with the employment industry?

I have been in the employment industry for 30 years.

For the past 11 years I have worked for Community Options Individual and Family Service as an employment specialist. There, I work with individuals who receive disability benefits, helping them reenter the workforce and become independent of their SSI or SSDI. What was the inspiration for It’s All About Employment?

Three years ago, I discovered a need in the community of an underserved population. When an individual is homeless or close to becoming homeless, coming out of recovery or reentering from incarceration, the transition back into the workforce can be not only difficult but overwhelming.

That led me to launch It’s All About Employment in 2022 and in August of that year, we became a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.

How does It’s All About Employment fit into the spectrum of services for the people you serve?

We partner with various agencies and provide guidance to the folks who need the help and want the help. We provide opportunities through job fairs and resource fairs across the city just so it isn’t so overwhelming for some of these folks who are just getting back in the workforce.

For example, Table Grace Cafe is a local cafe that caters to similar demographics that we do. They train people in food service like food prep and that sort of thing. If somebody needs a meal, they can even volunteer their time for a meal. We partner with (the cafe) on some things and now we’re creating a hospitality program covering all aspects, from soft skills to being able to serve to being able to work in a kitchen. We’ve had a lot of success partnering with organizations like that.

What are some of the challenges your clientele face in gaining employment?

The biggest barriers to employment are oftentimes something very simple like not having an ID and not knowing how to get one; small, little things that most people don’t even think about. Something like that can be very overwhelming to one of our clients and that’s sometimes how that vicious cycle starts.

What are some of the challenges you face in executing your mission?

One of the problems that I had that I really didn’t understand in the beginning was meeting people where they’re at and not projecting what you think they should be doing. You see potential in people and you’re like, ‘Oh hey, do this, do this, do this,’ and they end up getting scared. Some people are ready — they’ve been

in the shelter long enough and they want to go —but some people are like, ‘I don’t know, yet.’ You really have to meet them where they are.

I mean, you just never know how things are going to go and that’s why we just try and stay flexible in how we approach things. It’s very individualized. As I like to say, we’re a baby organization compared to all the ones in Omaha and surrounding areas, but we’ve worked hard to solidify our mission.

Tell us about your family.

I have two grown sons: Joe Adams, 40, lives in LA and Pat Adams, 38, lives in Phoenix.

I have been married for 20 years to Connie Phillips Adams. Last but not least is Pippi, our 1-year-old dachshund. We live according to her rules.

ASK AN attorney

SPONSORED BY

MATT OTTEMANN, TAX ATTORNEY

Q How do I handle a tax deficiency notice from the IRS or state Department of Revenue?

A

Q. I am a business leader, and our company just received a Notice of Tax Deficiency. What do I do?

Q. How can I get a favorable settlement, without having to go to court?

A. When a federal or state tax matter is not resolved upon audit, a Notice of Deficiency will normally be issued. It must be responded to with a full understanding of the facts and legal issues. The failure to properly and timely respond can mean that you will be stuck owing the alleged tax — regardless of the merits of your case.

A. Successful settlements are not a matter of chance. You can’t expect the Internal Revenue Service or a state Department of Revenue to agree to a fair resolution, unless a strong defense is first presented that the tax authorities will recognize on the merits of sound legal basis and litigation risk. So, while most of our cases settle, a number of steps must first be taken to lay in and position the proper legal and evidentiary groundwork for a successful settlement posture.

Q. What constitutes a valid protest of a Notice of Deficiency?

A. Working together with the company and its CPA, the first step we take in responding to a Notice of Deficiency occurs when the protest petition is filed with the IRS or state. A Notice of Deficiency must be protested in a set timeframe; failure to file the protest in the statutory timeframe often means that you lose the opportunity to contest the tax assessment.

In addition, both federal and state laws establish certain legal requirements to constitute a valid protest. The failure to meet these requirements could mean that the protest would be void, so the full tax would be due.

Q. What happens after a protest is filed?

Q. Do I need a tax attorney before a Notice of Deficiency has been issued?

A. As with all matters, taxes offer the opportunity to choose to plan ahead or to choose to not plan ahead. Planning ahead usually results in the better outcome. So, we recommend that clients contact us to help plan in advance of a Notice of Deficiency. This is particularly true when business leaders are undertaking significant transactions such as the sale or expansion of their business or a significant contract for the purchase of property or services.

A. In the usual appeal, the case is assigned to an attorney or appeals officer within the IRS or State Department of Revenue. We work with them to further develop the facts and the legal grounds, and work towards possible settlement. If settlement cannot be reached, then we look to resolve the matter judicially.

Matt Ottemann specializes in taxation, including state and local taxation, federal and state tax disputes and appeals, state business tax incentives, and site selection and planning.

He has served as an adjunct faculty member at Creighton’s College of Business for several years. Matt has also served as an adjunct faculty member at Creighton’s School of Law. McGrath North is an Omaha-based law firm which focuses on client success.
