LITM Episode 90, John Manjounes, John Maxwell Team

As an Executive Director of the John Maxwell Team, I am certified to speak, facilitate, train, and coach individuals and groups in the area of leadership development, professional skills, and personal growth. Being trained and mentored by John Maxwell and members of his world-class faculty provides me with the tools, resources and experience to help you and your team improve your productivity, performance and profitability. Whether you are looking for a Speaker in Sales, corporate training, coaching skills or a facilitator for group workshops for your leaders as a Certified Executive Director of the John Maxwell Team I have access to exclusive content to help you reach your goals and objectives. For 30 years, I have been training and speaking on vision, leadership and awareness. I have substantial industry and real-world practical experience; having built a multi-state distribution business, I trained and coached in every position and then focused on training the trainers and management. Having risen to the position of Regional Vice-President in the financial industry, I was awarded a seat on the prestigious President’s Council. In that position, I trained the trainers as well as training, supervised and coached hundreds of financial services professionals on the keys to Servant and Transitional Leadership. My extensive experience makes me adept in coaching and speaking to clients and prospects of all levels, and on all aspects and the impact of financial products. I was a regular Key-Note Speaker and trainer on financial products and their significance at local and regional events. I then later focused my efforts on the business community working as a Business Analyst for the country’s largest business consulting firm. I analyzed, then coached, and trained on the significance of breakeven analyses and on profits and profitability. I have spent 30 years, coaching training and speaking long before I became a professional Coach, Trainer, and Speaker. I always say most “Most people rarely work near their God-given potential; they simply work at the level of their willingness“. My Why is to increase the awareness of others so they may realize their greater potential. James Allen wrote, “A man literally is what he thinks”. “Change your thinking, change your life!” John G.

LITM Episode 89, Dr. Brent Munnerlyn, PharmD is running for Lexington County Council in District 3

Dr. Brent Munnerlyn, PharmD is running for Lexington County Council in District 3. He is challenging incumbent Darrell Hudson to represent the people who live in the west Lexington area and out Highway 378 to the edge of Lake Murray.
This District includes some of the more affluent residents south of the lake. Munnerlyn grew up in Lexington County in District 3, and attended Lexington District One schools from elementary through high school. He graduated from the University of South Carolina Pharmacy School and owns an independent pharmacy called My Pharmacy and Optical in District 3.
He has built his practice and now has about 10,000 patients in and around the District 3 community and across the Midlands. In the past, he managed the Health & Wellness business for Walmart across the midlands and other outlying areas. Responsibilities included managing the pharmacies, health care centers, and optical divisions that employed several hundred people. He was able to increase the company’s profits and grow top line revenue during his 10 years in this role. He put systems and standards in place that helped the company manage their costs and reorganized departments and stores that were underperforming. In this job, he was recognized for his work and was asked to come to the company’s headquarters in Bentonville, Arkansas to help revamp benefit policies.
During his time in Bentonville, he was able to identify a $82 million loss and also helped improve time off benefits for employees that they continue to enjoy today. Munnerlyn also owns Munnerlyn Pyrotechnics. This business puts on large, professional fireworks shows like the one on Lake Murray, Peach Festival, Fort Jackson, Columbia Fireflies, Blowfish and the Town of Lexington. There are many others across the country. You can find out more about the professional display side of his business at www.munnerlynpyro.com.
His other fireworks business is geared toward retail customers. Munnerlyn has store fronts operating under the name Joe Dirt Fireworks, Sam Fireworks and Bada Boom Fireworks across the area that are dedicated to retail firework sales. This includes everything from sparklers to large mortar shells. He already has a large store front in Lexington County that’s easy to locate on Augusta Road (US Hwy. 1) just off I-26 at 4341 Augusta Road. He’s also opening a new store in the next few weeks at 5921 Edmund Highway, Lexington. This is near South Lake Drive (SC Hwy. 6) and Edmund Highway. You can find all his locations by going to the Joe Dirt webpage at www.joedirtfireworks.com.
When asked why he was running for Lexington County Council, Munnerlyn said, “I find Darrell (Hudson) to be a person that makes decisions without thinking about how they impact others. I would say that the harm he does isn’t always intentional, however, I have addressed him in both a public forum and one on one directly before the county passed its fireworks ordinance. He talks with you, sometimes seems as if he’s agreeable or understands, but then votes with a very vocal minority that shows up at council meetings raising their voices over an issue that can affect thousands, and then votes for that minority that’s at these hearings. I find that the younger generation, working people, and very busy people simply can’t make these meetings, but they still should have a voice on things. He basically is neglecting to consider the district’s residents that cannot show up at a council meeting and weigh in on an issue.
The multiethnic communities that are affected by the fireworks ordinance is just one of the groups that Darrell ignored. This is a prime example of the way that people are being discriminated against in Lexington County because of unnecessary regulations. But, after making the decision to run I am now seeing this same pattern of decision making occurring with development issues that are going to have a profound impact on our children’s future.”
When you listen to Munnerlyn talk, you immediately feel his energy and passion for people and issues. He’s extremely energetic and animated and willing to fight for what’s right and the truth. “I’ve already learned that some of the council members will sacrifice the truth to fit their needs and desires. I’m sorry, but at times the lies and slander are just too much. I come from a business culture where these types of behaviors are handled with terminations.
You can find out more about Brent Munnerlyn on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/voteBRENTMUNNERLYN.
He can also be found on the internet at www.votebrent.com.
Munnerlyn has a Meet & Greet scheduled at O’Hara’s on Main Street at 4:30 p.m. on June 4, 2024. The public is invited to attend this and interact with him exchanging ideas and their thoughts on the future of Lexington County.

LITM Episode 87, Todd Limehouse

I'm Todd Limehouse, and I'm a candidate to serve you in the S.C. House. I'm running because I love this community, and because I honestly believe I have something to offer. I'm a proven hard worker and a longtime volunteer for pro-taxpayer causes. I've played an active role in helping to elect conservative leaders — from Joe Wilson and Andre Bauer in the 1990s to Nikki Haley, Jim DeMint and Tim Scott. And I have a proven record of fighting against higher taxes, including helping lead the successful effort to defeat the Lexington County sales tax increase. I'm active in my church and my community, and I care deeply about our area's future. I'm committed to keeping it a great place to live, work and retire. I'm running in House District 87. I'd be honored to have your support in in the Republican Primary on Tuesday, June 11th. I'm already working hard to speak personally with as many voters as possible. I hope to speak with you soon. If you have any questions or would like to become involved in this campaign, contact me at 803-399-0676 or bt.limehouse@gmail.com. Thank you.
