Welcome, This month we'd like to reflect on a true friend to so many within the IMA, Tony Hsieh. He was a regular contributor, sponsor, host and supporter of our organization for the past decade. As the founder of Zappos, his company revitalized culture for Downtown Las Vegas while outfitting shoes for millions. His company's brand was so powerful that Amazon kept the namesake after acquisition. His philanthropy, community giveback and selfless acts of generosity will never be forgotten. We also encourage you to watch the latest impactSHOW episode featuring architect, artist, Chairman of Ware Malcomb and IMA Board Advisor, Larry Armstrong. I recently interviewed Larry, and he shared his thoughts with me on his journey into architecture and art, his self-designed home, and insights for building up your business and employees. Check out impactSHOW Episode 16 here. Please take a moment to view our partner articles, below. Sincerely, Sinan Kanatsiz Chairman, IMA www.imanetwork.org
