Great example of what personal drive can do.

My brother, upon graduation and via an MU job fair, moved to Indianapolis to join Pepsi as a Manager in training.  Soon after he, again through an MU job fair, hired Brad Smith to his first job out of college.

Glad to see our deadbeat governor knocked off his perch

I like the note thrown in there about JJ disputes Forbes estimate of his net worth. Someone forgot to tell him debts are part of the equation?

Overall, IMO, a pretty positive article about not only President Brad Smith and his wife, but I think about MU too and even somewhat about the State.

A REFRESHING take on a WV native, a WV University, and the State NOT often found in a highly respected National business publication!!!

I think Brad outkicked his coverage on the wife. jmo.
