You’ve heard of O’Reilly Automotive Inc., the Springfield-based auto parts retailer that’s been a darling of Wall Street since going public.
Well this episode, we sit down with an O’Reilly, Tim O’Reilly, the grandson of company co-founder Charlie Chub O’Reilly. Tim’s not in the auto business but we’ll find he’s definitely influenced by his family culture.
Tim's soft spoken but direct in leading his company, O’Reilly Hospitality Management, in putting philanthropy at its core:
"It kind of goes back to my upbringing. It's all I've ever known. My parents and family, they were very focused on community outreach and trying to good things to help people. It has a lot of basis in our religion and how we were raised.
"Someone who's a giving person fits well with hospitality."

Welcome to the future. This episode is like a crash course for what's coming in our workplaces and in our communities. We get into the ethos of young professionals – through the lens of Jessica Harmison-Olson. She’s a partner in Maxon Fine Jewelry and also is in leadership with The Network, a local young professionals program. Jessica speaks from both vantage points:
"I think there's a generational shift that's happening. Employees and employers are seeing that and the ones that do adapt are thriving. And those that aren't, it's a little more difficult to find employees and that's not where you want to be today."

So, this is a special episode. It's our only one with two guests. And for good reason: Jonathan Groves and Morey Mechlin are the co-chairs of the annual Community Focus Report. They've worked the past year-plus with other leaders to identify our community's red flags and blue ribbons (you can see them all at SpringfieldCommunityFocus.org). As such, it does run a little longer - there’s a lot of ground to cover.

"That's what today's workforce is looking for. They're looking for that cultural competency and cultural responsibility of organizations. They're kind of demanding it upfront: the work that I'm doing, how can you show me it's having impact elsewhere?"
