Having his business down to a Rocket science Things are looking up for a Rock Falls High School student who’s been able to turn a profit from his passion for flying by giving people a bird’s-eye view of their land By Cody Cutter | Sauk Valley Media

ROCK FALLS — The sky is the limit when it comes to small business success, and while Matt Megli is flying high early in life, he doesn’t plan to come down any time soon. Megli, 17, is using his trusty DJI Phantom 4 drone to help real estate agents and property owners get a good look at their land — from the air. The senior-to-be at Rock Falls High School owns Megli Aerial, which provides people a whole new perspective on their property.

“I’m a drone enthusiast. I really like them, and really like finding out what they can do. They can do so much when it comes to inspections and mapping and for agriculture. It’s amazing how much more you can do with a drone.” Matt Megli | Megli Aerial MEGLI cont’d from page 3 Before drones entered the picture, getting an aerial view of land involved the pricey prospect of hiring a pilot and plane. Realtors had to keep both feet on the ground for photos of their listings, and people who wanted to inspect their land or plot out their property had to do it from the ground, step by step. These days, though, drone operators can buzz property in a fraction of the time, and armed with a compact camera in its belly, the nimble little machines can zip in and out of places a plane could never go, giving customers the big picture, or zooming in for an up-close shot. Megli has seen firsthand the benefits of his deft drone piloting. Drone photos and videos can help homeowners and real estate agents sell their properties.

“You can attract more clients if you use aerial photography to sell your home. They sell better and they give a much better view of what the property is without actually going out to see it,” he said. Megli’s focus is on working with Realtors and property owners within 50 miles of Rock Falls. “When you take it from the air you can see so much more, especially if it’s a larger property,” Megli said. “You can see so much more a lot better if you’re up in the air versus just taking pictures from the ground. Drone technology has improved significantly in the past decade, and the depths of its functions still are being explored, Megli said. As drones become more commonplace, Megli can see his business growing.

Drone technology has improved significantly in the past decade — with drones that are smaller and lightweight using cameras that can capture much more detail – and the high-flying hightech tool is only getting better, Megli said. As it becomes more commonplace, he can see his business growing. “Drones are used for inspections quite a bit, and that’s something in the future that I would like to expand my business to,” Megli said. “I’m a drone enthusiast. I really like them, and really like finding out what they can do. They can do so much when it comes to inspections and mapping and for agriculture. “It’s amazing how much more you can do with a drone.”

MEGLI cont’d from page 5 His drone isn’t the only thing that helps provide him with a perspective that serves his customers well. His background helps him with clients, too, especially farmers. His family farms corn, soybeans, and grows turf south of Rock Falls, and he’s expected to be the fourth-generation owner of the family farm one day. Like the rest of his peers, he’s already more tech savvy than previous generations, thanks in part to an early interest in remote control airplanes and other small flying devices. That love of piloting from the ground eventually graduated to operating a state-of-the-art drone. DJI, based in China, is a popular drone manufacturer, and the Phantom 4 was the top model when it came out a few years ago. Megli has owned his Phantom 4 for a couple of years, initially using it to help out on the farm. When the COVID-19 pandemic hit in 2020, Megli’s junior year of high school suddenly became quite different; he spent more time at home, and while thinking about his drone, he began to think about how it could bring in some money. So he set up a small business plan and a website, megliaerial.com, and his new venture took off. “We had this drone, and I found out that I really like to take pictures with it and produce videos,” Megli said. “I also like harvesting with our farm equipment, and I was taking stills from there. So I thought I’d try to start my own business.” While anyone can buy a drone these days, not everyone can fly one – at least not with the kind of skill it takes to make a business out of it. Megli has his Part 107 Remote Pilot Certificate from the Federal Aviation Administration, which allows him to operate a drone, having studied FAA regulations, operating requirements, and procedures for safely flying them. Megli’s drone is capable of taking 4K videos (a horizontal resolution of 4,096 pixels) and 12 mega-pixel stills. The lens is built in within a protective cube that moves at any trajectory, which makes for “super smooth video,” Megli said. Megli offers a standard picture and video package plan, and can provide a quote for other services, too. He does his own editing, and clients can see pictures and footage before buying the electronic files — if they aren’t satisfied, they don’t have to buy them. “It’s good to make sure people are satisfied and happy with what you’re doing,” Megli said. “That’s ultimately better for business in the long run.” With each client that he’s worked with, Megli finds himself reviewing his work and pointing out ways that can help him do better for the next client. The reviews generate new ideas and angles, and things he wish he could have done differently. Megli’s big thrill so far has been the positive feedback he’s received with his work. “When I make a video, and it’s really good and people like it,” he said. “They give me a lot of compliments on it and really appreciate what I’m doing. That’s the most rewarding thing about having this drone and using it: really satisfying people and making a difference.” While drone technology is a cool gig for now, Megli doesn’t

Farming is his true passion, and he plans to attend Black Hawk East Community College in Galva to study agriculture production technology. Before taking off for college, Megli will have another opportunity to learn more about running a business during his senior year. He will be in the Whiteside Area Career Center’s Creating Educational Opportunities (CEO) program, a popular business class whose students are chosen by instructors. “I think being young helps out,” Megli said. “Younger people are able to adapt to technology a lot better than older people are. I’m always helping my dad or my grandpa out on the farm with newer technologies and that kind of thing. They’re good at it, but it seems like it comes faster with younger people.”

Leading the way Partners in a local program help tomorrow’s leaders today by sharing the path they took, and helping them chart their own By Cody Cutter | Sauk Valley Media

DIXON – They say good leaders are always looking for someone to fill their shoes — but not just to follow in their footsteps, to chart their own course, too. It didn’t take long for David Hellmich to take steps to do just that, and the Sauk Valley Community College president did it with help from a team of fellow community leaders who stepped up and stepped in to form the Sauk Valley Community Leadership Program. The program was established as a partnership between the college and the chambers of commerce in Dixon, Sterling and Rock Falls to help foster emerging leaders by having established ones in the community share their knowledge.

It’s taking our key community leaders and helping them share their knowledge, their information, their philosophy on leadership with these participants.” Students in the most recent class completed the program with a graduation ceremony May 19 at Camp Benson in Mount Carroll. Each student made a speech and shared with their classmates, board members and facilitators what they learned from their experience, refined their personal and professional mission statements, and shared their call to action of how they are going to lead. Students also elected two people from their class to serve as board members to help shape future classes; and that helps bring a fresh perspective to the program. Board member Thomas McDonald, branch manager of US Bank in Dixon, is a transplant to the Sauk Valley, and being in the program helped him understand the Sauk Valley’s geographical scope better. “It taught me about a lot of the things that we have in the community, and the volunteer opportunities that we have,” McDonald said. “In my job, we try to stay active in the community, so it really opened my eyes to the volunteer opportunities to ask the bank to be involved in.”

Now in its sixth year, Sauk Valley Community Leadership Program — which helps foster emerging leaders by having established ones in the community share their knowledge — has seen more than 70 rising stars go through the ranks, and nearly 50 different local leaders in civics, business and education have lent their expertise to it. Pictured here are participants in the 2020-21 class: Front row, from left: Lindsey Pistol, Kelsey Head, Dallas Knack, Katie Sauer; Middle row: Ellen McCown, Vanessa Sharp, Kaitlyn Ekquist, Lisa Jezek; Back row: Geoffrey Bork, Laurie Munoz, Heather Grobe, and Paula Johnson.

LEADERSHIP cont’d from page 9 Another board member, Vanessa Wessels, training manager at VeriFacts in Sterling, found that leadership is fluid, and emerging leaders learn more about themselves and their community by tapping into one’s own strengths and weaknesses. “There are several different roles, different opportunities for all different kinds of people: introverts, extroverts, public speakers, people who just want to read books and make people around them better, whether it’s their family, coworkers or friends.” Several Sauk employees have gone through the program and now are serving on the board, including Dana Chacon Program, Events and Career Service Coordinator; and Director of

Software and User Services Kathy Dirks. Chacon was working on her bachelor’s degree on organizational leadership at the time she was a student, so she became very interested in the topic. She’s seen several students move up in the world during her time as a board member, and that brings plenty of satisfaction to her. “The impact the class makes is different for everybody,” said Chacon, SVCC’s program, events and career service coordinator. “It could be purely personal development where it can get them out of their shell and learn more about themselves, but it also gives them an opportunity to learn steps to take to grow in their position.”

LEADERSHIP cont’d from page 10 Dirks said that the class exceeded her expectations, and with her role on the board, she enjoys having a say in what future classes can look like, which may include topics or speakers she wished she would have learned more about while a student. Perhaps more profound for her was learning that anybody can be a leader. “I didn’t realize that it was going to make me realize that I was already a leader,” Dirks said. “A lot of people probably already think a leader is someone in a business suit at the top of a company. No, leaders are all throughout companies and educational institutions.” McDonald agreed. “Everybody has the capability of being a leader at some role,” he said. “They may not be the CEO of a company, but they play some role in leadership. It’s really understanding the difference between being a manager and being a leader.” Hellmich learned about a similar leadership program from his tenure as a dean at a community college in Minnesota, and sought to establish a program here when he settled in as SVCC president. “When I started at Sauk, I knew I wanted to get the college more involved in the community,” Hellmich said. “I was surprised that there wasn’t a leadership program, so I thought this would be an opportunity. Now that one’s been established, there’s only one direction to build: up — but it takes a team effort to do it, and when opportunity knocked, local partners opened the door. “The only way to make it successful is not for the college to do it, but for the college and the chambers to do it. One of our goals at the college is to get the communities to work more closely together, so it was just a perfect opportunity.”

AMBOY – Life may be like a bowl of chocolates, but success is like a cup of Chocolate Chocolate. So, too, is healthier living. Just ask the couple behind the counter at Amboy’s Revolution Wellness, who are whipping things up, mixing things up, and shaking things up as they help customers cut the calories and boost their energy with their menu of nutritional drinks. “We’re all in it for the same thing,” said Allison Hicks, 21, who opened up the shop at 205 E. Main St. last year. “We’re here to make everyone feel better and look better” – and she’s got some help in her mission: her partner in business and partner in life, Demetri Lahman, 22.

REVOLUTION cont’d from page 12 The soon-to-bee newlyweds mix up lots of flavors to savor. Boosted teas, iced coffees, shakes — you’ll find them all at Revolution Wellness. What you won’t find, though, is a lot of calories, despite what the names of some of the flavors might lead you to believe. People with a sweet tooth will be flashing their pearly whites as they grin from ear to ear at shakes like Brownie Batter, Chocolate Chocolate, Oreo Cheesecake, and Chocolate Donut, just some of the many that Hicks, Lahman and their crew whip up from the crack of dawn to late in the afternoon. Chocolate, cheesecake and donut may not sound like part of a balanced diet, but the drinks at Revolution won’t have you tipping the scales in the wrong direction. They clock in at only 250 calories or less. There’s practically no limit to what can be created – just stop by the shop and take a look at the menu. Revolution Wellness features about 150 different drinks on its menu, and there’s about 100 more either in the works or already available for custom orders, Hicks said. Also offered is a “flavor of the day” for each tea, shake and coffee on their menu. “It brings people in,” Hicks said. “We’ll post it on Facebook the night before, and people will tell us that it looked good and so they came in.” The business has been open only about a year – it opened in June 2020 – but it’s already building up repeat customers. The couple is excited to see how business will fare when camping season

opens up, as people flock to area campgrounds around town. The regular customers they’ve garnered so far are about a 50-50 mix of people who either want the same product all of the time, or something different each time. One local made it through every single boosted tea on the menu, and when word got out, Lahman said, it inspired others to try new drinks. The couple say that each tea helps burn calories, boost metabolism, increase energy and improve digestion. The tea selection is categorized by Super Heroes (Batman, Harley Quinn, Wolverine and Wonder Woman, for example), Candy Lovers (such as Gummy Bear, Nerds and Starburst), On The Beach (such as Fruit Punch, Mermaid and Shark Bite), or in a wild card category that is unique from the others. They even have a tea with a local flavor. The Amboy Clipper, named after the town’s high school mascot, is a combination of cherry and grape flavors, and it’s their top-selling tea. If you’re in the mood for a shake, they’re grouped into themes such as Coffee Addicts, Chocolate Lovers, Sweet Tooth, Tutti Frutti, Mint-aholic, Cookie Monster and Cake Cake Cake. If you go for a cup of Joe, there are about 15 kinds of iced coffees available; and they transition from iced to hot in the winter. Got a hankering for an Amboy Clipper, but you’re not in the neighborhood? Chances are if you visit a place that also sells Herbalife boosted teas, the staff can call Revolution Wellness and get the recipe.

In fact, Hicks, of Amboy, used to work at Rockin’ Nutrition before she decided to open her own place close to home. She started there 3 years ago while studying for a career in law enforcement, but business boomed and she switched gears and decided to go into business for herself. Once she found a spot, it took 6 months to get everything arranged before opening day – a day that came in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. Not wanting wait until the uncertainty passed, she decided to go all in, and it paid off. Business was “double better” than she thought it would be her first year.
