We have a special treat at this months First Friday Art Opening. Russ Eanes will join our event and host a book signing for his newly released book “The Walk of a Lifetime.” Stop by to see Steve’s Art
Trekking 500 miles on the ancient Camino de Santiago was not just an item for Russ Eanes to check off his bucket list. It was a journey he had dreamed of taking for decades.
At age 61, with his children grown, he was too young to retire but wise enough to know that he needed to reorient the hurried pace of his life. He left his work and took a sabbatical to “reset” himself and the first step was to head to the Camino.
With everything he needed in a 16-pound pack and, equipped with a set of seven simple principles, he took off from St. Jean Pied de Port, France, to walk, as pilgrims have for twelve centuries, across Spain, to realize his dream. It was the Walk of a Lifetime.
In a style that is part personal memoir and part travel memoir, he combines history, spirituality, coffee, culture and humor into an engaging journey of personal rediscovery. More information at russeanes.com.
Recruitment has taken many shapes and forms over the past decade. From newspapers to TV ads, employers will try it all to get their job noticed by all. According to Recruiter.com, some ways that recruitment has changed is job board evolution, the rise of the social, a more personable job search, and giving candidates what they want. I believe the last two reasons are really starting to be forefront to recruiting than ever before. At CUED-in, we are hyper-focused on making the job search more personable, not only for the applicant but also for the employer.
With current low unemployment numbers and a dire need to recruit talent, CUED-IN sees that future recruitment models will be vastly different from past models. Recruiting will always start with relationship. That may be a conversation, a phone call, or even an email because the best employees come through a relationship that happens at the ground level. Engaging conversations build relationships built on trust and understanding, and it’s these conversations that are the core of successful recruiting. However, new recruitment strategies will need to involve growing your team and setting your company up for success in the near future. We see that the future of recruiting is going to be the recruiting model that a professional sports team uses to find future talent.
You take football, soccer, baseball, or basketball and you will find that these professional sports teams…. Click HERE for entire blog.

Our modern house on a hill is under construction. Herr and Company is hard at work bringing this home design into reality. It is always exciting to see your vision put into built form. This custom home in particular sits beautifully on the site. I helped place it and had a good idea of the views up to the house from the driveway and from the house out to the mountains, but the reality is even more beautiful than I had imagined.
The details on this home are minimal, which actually causes more precision to be required during construction. We are pleased with the care that the contractor is taking to get things right and it is certainly a team effort.
I will continue to update on this custom home project as it takes shape. I am very excited to see finishes as they start the next stage of construction.
