We are celebrating America's past time with the General Manager of the Wichita WindSurge. Matt has dedicated his career to Major league baseball, and we are grateful that he leads the SURGE!

It's an incredibly entertaining and beautiful atmosphere at Equity Bank Park and Matt and his team do everything from taking the tickets, lighting the lights and balancing the budget budgets.

Running the Major league affiliate squad in Wichita is an incredibly entrepreneurial undertaking. Matt and his team are impressive with all that they do to create an entertaining day at the park and bringing tremendous value to the city of Wichita.

The Arab-Israeli conflict confuses people. It is complex. We need to understand the confict and the Region so that we can add constructive questions to conversations instead of hyperbole that ends up in a side choosing battle and humanity loses.

Ambassador David J Dunford has spent the majority of his life trying to impart positive change in the Midle East. As the former Ambassador the the Sultan of Oman, he has stood on the south peninsula of the Straits of Hormuz, witnessing speedboats shuttling across with various contriband. And as the Deputy Director of US Trade in the Office of the President he recounts the significants worldwide challenges that come up when confilct over Oil shuts down ships.

In order to improve a situation you must better understand it.

Professor Dunford expresses his thoughts and gives incredible insight to the last 100 plus years of the Arab-Israeli Conflict.

I've talked to many people who do difficult things at the highest level and entrepreneurs who don't quit and Brad Elliott is an entrepreneur who does not quit. He founded Equity Bank in 2001 in 2015. Equity Bank became publicly traded and remains Wichita, Kansas only publicly traded institution.

Equity has grown organically as well as through many acquisitions. In our conversation, Brad shares the motivation behind each institution's desire to merge with Equity Bank.

Brad has created a culture of being entrepreneurial while working at a bank, helping our customers every day in their personal and their professional lives so that they have the financial resources to meet whatever their challenges are.

As chairman Brad still lives his life with the attitude of "the right thing to do is the right thing to do."
