Icons in Business Lip balm icon Carmex will headline the next Icons in Business breakfast event on March 16! The iconic Wisconsin brand began in 1937 when Alfred Woelbing started production of a cold sore remedy in his kitchen, pouring the concoction into what would become the yellow-lidded jars Carmex is known for. His sales method? Visiting pharmacies one by one. That humble approach paid off. Just 20 years later, Alfred's kitchen could no longer handle the demand for Carmex thanks to its growing popularity through positive word-of-mouth advertising. Join IB at the next Icons in Business event where Carmex President Paul Woelbing and COO Rich Simonson will share insight into the history, leadership strategies, and growth of the family-owned and operated Wisconsin icon.

IB Poll
Is there a business case for keeping daylight saving time?
A. No. Research shows modern-day energy usage may actually increase due to time changes, and there's an economic and biological toll on companies and workers, as well.
B. Yes because that "extra" hour of daylight actually gives us eight months of more sunlight and produces happier, healthier workers.

How do you think Dick's Sporting Goods and Walmart's decisions on guns will affect their bottom line?
  
Positively. The public has seen enough carnage from assault-style rifles.   
93%
